The Correct Scientific Response To Something That

Nothing In The Natural World Makes Sense - Except When Seen In The Light Of Evolution

At A Time When It's Possible For Thirty People To Stand On The Top Of Everest In One Day, Antarctica Still Remains A Remote, Lonely And Desolate Continent. A Place Where It's Possible To See The Splendours And Immensities Of The Natural World At Its Most Dramatic And, What's More, Witness Them Almost Exactly As They Were, Long, Long Before Human Beings Ever Arrived On The Surface Of This Planet. Long May It Remain So.

It's Extraordinary How Self-obsessed Human Beings Are. The Things That People Always Go On About Is, 'tell Us About Us', 'tell Us About The First Human Being'. We Are So Self-obsessed With Our Own History. There Is So Much More Out There Than What Connects To Us.

We Really Need To Kick The Carbon Habit And Stop Making Our Energy From Burning Things. Climate Change Is Also Really Important. You Can Wreck One Rainforest Then Move, Drain One Area Of Resources And Move Onto Another, But Climate Change Is Global.

I Had A Huge Advantage When I Started 50 Years Ago - My Job Was Secure. I Didn't Have To Promote Myself. These Days There's Far More Pressure To Make A Mark, So The Temptation Is To Make Adventure Television Or Personality Shows. I Hope The More Didactic Approach Won't Be Lost.
