Best voice ever !
Dear David, do Lemmings commit suicide?
This man is a true hero

Unfortunately sasquach do exist
and as a great man, he dares say there are some mysterious - and therefor intersting- things arround us.
If God actually took a rib from Adam to make Eve, then genetically they were related, which means their children would have been born out of incest, which means that the human race would be extremely genetically flawed.
I've heard him say in a video that the world population needs to be lowered. That means folks that YOU and I will be ELIMINATED !!! He is obviously part of the NWO !! Even Jimmy Savile was given an OBE,get the connection ??? They are all part of it. Wake up folks before it's too late. Do your research,it can all be found on Internet !!! Look up: NWO. CABAL. DEEP STATE etc etc etc. The truth is finally coming out !!! There is a reason why he and many other people in HIGH places have amazingly youthful appearances and live to be extremely old.But it's far to horrific to mention here.😭😭😭
I love the fact that he entertains possibility based on evidence. He doesn’t just write off unusual claims. I respect that a great deal. I’ve seen some things in the natural world that I can’t explain. Honestly, I hope this stellar dude lives forever, or, at least for as long as he’s enjoying himself. My childhood is made of memories of his documentaries!
I had that same argument about being able to believe in God and evolution with my southern baptist granddaddy back in the 1980’s. I am now 74 and still feel the same way.
I often argue this line in conversation and you wouldn’t believe how many people think the two are mutually exclusive. I believe in both, there’s no conflict in me between the two. They exist side by side. I would say that evolution is Gods process, and she isn’t finished yet. She’s still creating.
Yes we love this guy in Hawaii also
greatest educator ever to walk this planet
There won't be much saving of the planet as long as we have ugly plastic overlit studios like the one on this video
Perhaps the greatest educator in the history of human kind.
Dave probably has a secret Mr Burns style wardrobe 🙂
Me and my friends was thinking of a state funeral for a celebrity from the uk. We could not think if one. After a day or two we both decided on David Attenborough. Love this man all of the UK do. Stay safe
He looks so well for he's age, great skin!!👍🏻
T.Y. England for blessing the world with Sir. Attenborough
Smoking some good weed!
Are you?
Love from the little Smokey mountains here in the states. Much love Dave.. p.s. sorry for the horrible things everything we've destroyed, burned, and pounded. Probably something that should be said about our runaway military industrial complex swinging their dicks around, the voters which only subscribe to certain media outlets. No more counterpoint requirements for any media and you have some nights completely dedicated to option and the constituency is left unwittingly ignorant of (in my case general) & once I pointed out trump tower in St Petersburg completely in progress well into his election, kids cancer charity price gouging and straight up embezzled millions, and you knWell, everyone except America is at home watching with a portion of the younger population, subverted, and even as the University textbooks print population increases along with the numbers in which attend certain schools are at Max so you think prices would stay with inflation however I can't recall anything else which increased in price with bulk.. and where does that leave the poor kids who spent their whole life's never able to have everything I actually needed, forget wanted. My brother ran to big brothers arms & was led behind the embrace of a dark trench coat only to see what they were talking about when they said fighting for our country and freedom. To bring democracy to their countries I can't tell you anybody who thinks it's a good idea that we're in these wars. And I mean anybody other than politicians. I can think of no person who is still on the fence or pro-war because when I mention how long we've been in each war their eyestheir eyes light up and realize that we've been in a war that hasn't been broadcast on TV once a year to my certainly not since the drone strike shade that Obama received. Fooling Americans is what America does best. I wonder how many Nazistruly believe too that their party was the more peaceful and had no idea about concentration camps.Most soldiers do there for years so they can have a better lifeand when they come through on the other side they don't ever want to think or talk about it again yet it's still finds its way out through sleepwalking or flashbacks. instill a new generation of soldiers graduate from high school every year with the same lack of knowledge. and when their toys come back broke they don't fix them they just buy a new bucket and plastic soldiers sweet the other ones under the rug. How in the hell has America gotten like this? And those who stormed the White House had the righthowever revolution for Trump is not what I had in mind at least. Systemic change social structures redesigned. a sort of mock version of societies could play out in different cities and we could have a nationwide vote that actually goes by the population and not some kind of self serving businessmen who have inherited The fortunes afforded to buy old money. In America you got to spend money to make money and for the most part industry has been relatively monopolized in many breakthrough technologies. Vanderbilt Honda trains, JP Morgan have the banks, JD Rockefeller had oil and standard oil and the Ohio River had over a billion gallons of the byproduct of kerosene gasoline dumped in our Rivers, trolley largely in place and widely available in many placessuch as San Francisco and then the petroleum industry walked up in there with their old money and bought the trolleybusinesses outright and strip the town of the rails and everybody was forced to buy cars.imagine where society would be if we had been funding research that would benefit the population as a whole as opposed to one's pocketbook or business profiting. And the people are so dumbed down that they're suffering severe side effects, including a shortened life just because they have to ration out their insulin when a Canadian University student created the medicine the patent was sold for $2 because he didn't want something that could save lives to be profited from and now it's sold for ten to one prices relative to Canadian and American prices. And anytime a decent politician with a solid track record of doing what he said he was going to do and saying what he meant they straight updemonize him on Fox news which people who grew up watching Walter Cronkite have this buddy buddy association with news anchors when that hasn't been the case since the 70s or right during the Vietnam war.. the birth of opinion news and the blindfold ever so subtly slowly pulled over eyes. Until all the peoplewho have money now have a special interest in seeing the powers-that-be passed legislation that would make him more rich. insulin which were electric in free to the public the war was justified oppressed and oh so ignorant
Even though Attenborough is being interviewed I feel as though Jonathan is a focal point in a documentary. In other words, a documentary taking place with an interview, all because of Attenborough’s voice.
State funeral wen he dies
If David Attenborough tells me that Sasquatch exists then I’ll believe it.
Same here, he’s open minded, he looks at the evidence. When someone tells you straight faced that they found Sasquatch prints, or they saw a white shark in Cornwall or a werewolf in the woods, you should look at the evidence. But most people don’t. They decide whether to believe based on their own beliefs. Theres a place surrounded by woodland about 6 miles from where I live. On separate occasions, multiple people, some atheists and those who don’t believe in ghosts or cryptids, have seen something in those trees. I was down there with a mate of mine one night, ghost hunting. I saw it. It’s a werewolf. Five or six people have seen this thing and all reported, independent of one another, the same description, the same animal. Yet people still don’t believe us. I ask them, why would I lie? And how is it that many people have seen it, each unprompted, and all given the same description? That’s evidence. But people don’t want to know, because they aren’t open minded enough to entertain possibility.
He confused nature and religion, they believe in nature but as to how it started have a different view
No he didn’t. He politely said that genesis is a different way of looking at it. He’s too polite to say what he really thinks.
Greatest commentator voice ever.

I believe climate change is real its a natural process , man has had minimal impact on it , yet the potential to have measurable impact
It doesn’t matter what you believe. Man made climate change is significant and dangerous.
How old is the fossil? 500million years old..christians love this guy.
@Garry Ellison only children and dolls believe it. Even most adult Christians are capable of realising it is allegory.
@Pete Conrad yes a true story.
@Garry Ellison nothing was created in six days. It’s a story.
@Pete Conrad Pete as long as they were created within six days your allgeroricals are in mate. Never seen one being taken for a walk though but I once had a tin of salmon as a pet so anythings possible buddy.
@Garry Ellison because we know genesis is just an allegorical story.
Remainer... Lost a little of my respect
He’s smart....
A real old Greta...
You're here for 10:27 , use me as a skip button. you're welcome!
What is coupulation. Nervous discharge of high voltage. Usually people think the form of God was a huge single cell. RNA the size of a tree. They even believe the size of an atom was like a basket ball. That's because of fusion possibilities.
Gibberish.
I have to admit I didn't expect a short interview like that to reveal so many different things about David.
He is a sexy older dude! Lol he was gorgouse as a younger man in his 20s.
I'd still like him if he hadn't been a complete creep in graham Norton show...
What did he do.
The absence of man's effects on the planet's wildlife would be far more dangerous to many species of typical prey for their natural predators. If we remember correctly, animals of most varieties were much, much larger in the past. No doubt due, in part, to the large amounts of available food. Were we to provide that sort of availability again by our absence... predators wouldn't be culled, leading to overpopulation. I think we should just try not to eliminate anything if we can avoid it... but not go out of our way to do it because we could cause other problems. Just a thought.
@Ruthie Mattesonfood supply was higher because more oxygen allowed more to grow. Genetics only allow development of that kind of scale animal if there is oxygen to support it. Both your other reasons are dependant on oxygen. Did you miss the bit about the fact that these macro predators were given before we arrived.
@Pete Conrad That was a major factor yes. There are more influences than just that as well. Food supply always plays a role. Another is genetics.
No, it was higher oxygen tat allowed larger species in the past. Species were smaller before man evolved.
Where is his CONVINCING EVIDENCE for global warming ??????????????????????????????
By the cart load in scientific journals. If you get your science from comics and comedy shows you’ll remain ignorant.
🇬🇧 The quality of Sir David’s work over the years makes me proud to be British 🇬🇧
Pure speculation how scientists today explain the behaviour of animals “billions” of years ago based on simple fossils.
This guy could read the telephone directory and make it sound interesting.
Love the guy, but there is a cognitive dissonance going on here I think; our market reality is ongoing evolution in a different context, and is as special and exciting as other life. We have to be careful not to create a modern religion, but I think that has already happened in the form of 'environmentalism'. Sadly.
@Blair Macdonald how is communism in any way related to making sure our earth remains habitable. Did you ever go to school.
“Environmentalism” is about making sure we have a world that can still support us. You can’t eat a market.
I work in conservation and sometimes when things become too discouraging I will put one of his documentaries on and it keeps me going.
A genuine superhero
Not all fish lay eggs.
He didn’t say they did.
Well it sure isnt the first fish though...
No one said it was.
Add man made climate change to the list
David Attenborough Is One Of My First Teachers, He Brought The World To His Students And Made You Realize The World You Lived In Was More That Just Your Neighborhood👍😊
what a waste of time
You sure are.
A gentleman and a scholar. THE GREATEST naturalist we will ever see and a voice that the worlds greatest leaders instantly recognise! The word 'LEGEND' has been used and diluted in so many ways over the years but the true meaning of the word is what applies to this man! He is a TRUE LEGEND!
90pc of the oceans ignored and these clowns try to tell you the origins of of humanity. What fools you all are to believe their hodge podge. Everyone one of you have been hoodwinked by an ancient cult. Attenborough is part of the cult who spread lies about climate change since the 60's. If you believe this old pretender and have not done your research in to climate change and how they have been telling lies since forever I feel sorry for you and you deserve what the cult will do to you in the name of their climate change propaganda.
Yes, because watching ISpast videos by other ignorant uneducated fools is research. Grow up.
Let the guest talk 🤬
I grew up watching and my kids watch as well. We love your work!!
I wonder if trump is in it hehe
I have treated Attenborough with contempt since he claimed that coastal erosion on the E Coast of the UK was linked to climate change. Absolute lies.
@Pete Conrad Are you stupid? He was talking about historical erosion.
@PanglossDr well it does, because climate change affects seal levels and prevailing weathering directions. It’s in the name “weathering”
@Pete Conrad Actually coastal erosion has been going on forever and has absolutely nothing to do with climate change.
But scientifically proven. So, you know, facts.
More chick shite..
This man is living enciclopedia
I think the problem is bigfoot is blurry - Hedburg
Back in the day they found fish with monkeys inside them
The King of fools and lord of idiots.
@Pete Conrad I'm not professing that I'm smart at all, but you still haven't answered a single question which I've asked you. In one of Sir David documentary, Sir David was standing in a very large area covered with hatched dinosaurs eggs, "at least that's what Sir David was trying to make us believe", but the facts are, it was a complete deception since the hatched eggs were all fakes...At least 90% of dinosaurs they show us never existed.
@Pete Conrad So? The pope also has a lot of fossils in the Vatican which is said to be fossils of saints, does that mean the fossils belong to saints or does it mean the fossils belong to people who once existed? Show me any genuine fossil which supports evolution? Do you have any fossil with evidence of transitions? Every individual human or otherwise has it's own DNA profile. No "DNA" profile is the same. "DNA" is not subjected to transitions, if the "DNA" was subjected to transitions then the DNA Is unstable, and cannot be accepted as evidence in any court of law. If transitions from one specie to another species are correct, then every specie must have precisely the same "DNA" profile, but since the "DNA" isn't subjected to transition, that isn't the case...DNA reveals, that transitions from one specie to another different species is totally incorrect. .
@Pete Conrad Okay, what came first, the seeds or the plants and all vegetation? One of my hobbies is gardening, I grow all kinds of flowers and vegetable, but I can't grow anything without seeds. I also save my own seeds, but I can't save seeds without the plants...So what came first the seeds or the plants? Also, what can any scientist create if he doesn't have the materials which already exists? Can they build a car if the minerals are absent? Can the Scientists create their own minerals from nothing to build the car? "God looked down from heaven one day and spotted a scientist gathering dirt in a large container then emptying the dirt in one big heap. God asked the scientist, what do you think you're doing? The Scientist replied to God, I'm gathering dirt to create life from the dirt just as you did... God told the Scientist, not so fast....Get your own dirt!.
@Benjamin Falzon your claim about fabricated fossils is utter BS. It’s a lie told by you or those that fool you. I like near the south coast of England and have found many fossils myself on the beach of animals that no one has ever seen alive. So kid yourself and remain ignorant. I thank goodness it’s illegal to pedal your lies in schools.
@Benjamin Falzon so you’re so “smart” you can’t distinguish between trees and the rest of the plant kingdom. So much so that you use the term trees for all plants. What would be the point of creating both. Whichever you create can create the other.
Anytime you need to take a nap throw on ol dave and that man will talk you into sleep the best
Sir David makes Johnathan Ross sound like a fossil, he was way over his head lol, Sir David is such a genius ❤️
anyone thats just interested in the 'mythical creatures' portion can skip the first 10:30
"People don't go that high just to make a joke" no but if they are going there anyway... it would be funny
Please don’t ever die Sir David. It will be too much.
“Nobody goes up to 19,000 feet just to make a joke... and certainly not barefoot.” Well... Actually there are many people who would go to great lengths to perpetrate such a hoax, especially if they knew Sir Attenborough’s crew was on their way.
I love this man! He is a LEGEND among folks. One of the few constants of my life currently. Deserves EVERY plaudit coming his way-well earnt. A national and multinational treasure. He should beable to change the world for the better with just a word. Would love to ask him about Sasquatches!
He’s a climate normality denier
Because it’s nonsense.
How can u even come up with an exagerated period of 500m years, when carbon dating is innacurate, scientist have become these days blind fanatics, with no reasoning.
@Pete Conrad radiocarbon to find carbon-14 is not carbon dating for fossils? www.google.com/amp/s/www.livescience.com/amp/scientists-dating-methods.html Why dont you read a book idiot!
They don’t use carbon dating for fossils. Read a book.
can't wait for tomorrow to see Sir Davids new programme.
Right there is Greatness.
He seems like a nice guy but every time he doesn’t know what happens he adds 1 billion years to cover up his Agenda
Bills agender is to pray away his life hoping for a newer everlasting version.
What's the agenda?
I got to get those dvd’s
I used to love him but he’s either lost the plot a bit in his old age or he’s a globest sellout. Shame
No, he’s just not dumb.
He's Son of Nature! 😇
500 million ..seriously? Lol I smell bull
Read a book.
This man needs to be given the first “live forever” pill
Only if he wants it 😉
10:10: I really appreciated Sir DA for that
Now, if David Attenborough told me ‘Sasquatch exist’ I would believe him.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🌲😃🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
JohnAfeN Borat 🤠🤣???
🥱🥱🥱🥱🥱🥱Work Entertainment work??🤣🤣🤣😉😉😉🤠🌲
🥱🤠💥😆😉🌲
Wonderful man and with a good sense of humor, a global treasure.
What are we gonna do when David Attenborough dies?
David Attenborough is the nations grandad
He is one of those people with whom I am glad I get to ride around in space and time on this planet with. He is such a great contributor to education worldwide.
10.30 for cryptozooology speal
Listening to Sir Attenborough speak about Yeti, I realized something. It's so easy to be an arrogant skeptic because you're not risking anything by being skeptical. It takes careful thinking to consider all possibilities, and yet you risk a lot just by doing so.
Bigfoot does exist. The governments cover it up because it would be protected and savage the lumber/mining industries and limit people’s access to the wild.
I want to have the same passion for knowledge just like this fascinating man when I'm older.
Sir David Attenborough is one of the people who will be in the hearts of every person in Britain forever.
If this man tells me I'm gay, then I'm gay. Simple as.
WHAT IF JUST ONCE, we consider ourselves perfectly natural, and instead of the bad rap we keeping giving ourselves, just put the facts together, which add up to us being the ones to face the only enemy we ever REALLY had and blast it off course, on course having been a hot date with Earth. The system we devise for this will unite all mankind, this problem being three dimensional. Our next event comes when we must find a new planet and we'll be there for that too; and don't think Nature didn't put us here and razz us up so we'd be ready when the time comes. Now watch those "meteor showers" because like the little chicken said; "The Sky is Falling !" Only this time, we're prepared ! Isn't that a good story? We're the heroes here.
I liked David up until he started pushing depopulation, how many kids we should have and "global warming" propoganda
@The Amos Tree start to finish. That’s have I know it’s Disney nonsense designed to give people like you something to clap about and keep you away from real information. Again! Again!
@Pete Conrad LOL you seriously think I believe you watched it? You possibly flicked through a little. You haven't watched it, it's obvious from what you're saying. Listen you aren't going to change my mind. I've researched extensively on both sides of the debate and came to my conclusion. And it's clear not only will I not change your mind but you aren't even willing to listen and research an opposing viewpoint. So let's stop wasting each others time eh? Good luck
@The Amos Tree no they sent. We see some highly cartoonish graphs. Interestingly, we see where they unashamedly cherry pick sections of data to show cooling. It’s also worth noting that these are a handful of individuals who deny climate change and are a tiny minority in their fields. The “documentary” engages in some appalling sophistry throughout. Fore ex,Apple comparing these climate denying scientists to the media and public who agree with climate change isn’t ahead of the thousands of s it it’s who support the hypothesis. If this is the kind of Disney guff you use to inform yourself then there’s no value in debating with you. Get some actual scientific information and come back. I’m not interested in debating kids films.
@Pete Conrad The papers are shown within the documentary. I don't know why this is so hard for you to understand. The documentary literally shows the actual graphs, charts, data and cites where they are from. It provides all the data. It's not simply an opinion piece it's factual! And no I don't have time today to cite them all for you. If you are genuinely interested just watch the damn documentary and research yourself ffs
@Pete Conrad I'm looking after kids today lol I watched this documentary last year and researched the peer reviewed studies shown within it back then. All 100% credible. Again. If you refuse to research for yourself OK. That's your problem not mine.
Love Attenborough. Have to say tho that whatever your view on evolution. The further back you go the more hand wavey and just so storytelling anecodatal it becomes. Lots of therefore and thus's. I'm not denying the explanatory power of evolution I'm just questioning its power as an origins story. Adam and Eve is an origins story. The story that we all came from 1blob is just that,, a story. A narrative.
@Al Harvey what is the connection. I don’t see how the discovery of penicillin (which you seem to allude to) is in any way connected to the bible. I never denied bacteria were 3.5bn years old. What are you talking about in your second post.
Bacteria is the oldest lifeform that we can prove. There's some controversy in zircon crystals, as far back as 3.5by. this study needs the help of microbiologists to confirm this, I'm sorry to say. If you knew what you were talking about, you would know this.
@Pete Conrad the Bible is a command book. It has instructions like let your fields go fallow every 7yrs. It has lots of instructions on hygiene, even epidemics, if only we listen. The mirobiologists in question were not studying the origin of life. There aren't that many origin of life scientists out there. But they come fm all disciplines. The most prominent being chemists and biologists. My point was general to the fact that the most important Medicine to date the crowning achievement of medicine, came from the Bible. 100%. That is an amazing thing.
@Al Harvey it doesn’t matter. Evolutionary biology and microbiology are different disciplines. Fleming and his cohorts were microbiology and would not have deep expertise in evolution. It doesn’t matter that evolution starts with microbes. Evolution is a process, the origins of which are unrelated to modern microbes.
@Pete Conrad Origin of life according to LUCA starts with single cell microbes. All scientists start in 1 discipline or another. Microbiology is at the very core, the very essence of origin of life studies, single cell microbes
Wow cool David Attenborough is the man!
Why does Jonathan Ross sound like Barry kripke ?
I love this man! We need him, desperately.
Man is not changing the climate. Mother earth is doing what ever she wants to. How Vain to think that "we" can change the course of Nature. With BILLIONS of dollars spent each damn year, we can even be precise on the weather for the next 48 hours. Be serious and look at FACTS not Rhetoric.....
@Pete Conrad How wonderful man is hey ? It is Vanity to the core. We are a part of life on earth only for now. Look at what happened 12900 years ago and you will get it. We are at the mercy of mother earth, not the other way around. We should be responsible YES but millions die each year of starvation and sickness but hey, we should tax the citizen for CO2 ? Fuck you. Is that clear enough for ya ?
It’s not vain. It’s intelligent. It’s been proven and there is no doubt about it. The arrogance is to think you should deny it.
David Attenborough is literally my favorite human on the planet
