          He is great at his age to use it, but that won't make me join any social media.

            Don't and won't use Instagram ....... love David Attenborough and envy him so; he has the best job in the world - interacting with nature/wildlife.

                              I have always loved his programs and find his voice so appealing. He has taught millions of viewers so much about the world we live in.

                                  David tried to reach a wider audience using social media...but the whole thing has driven him crazy so now has stopped again...wise man (...you really need to keep up with what's going on Johana...you are about as far behind as Rewardia's various "news" services..)

                                                          I do not use Instagram however I believe that Sir David Attenborough is a true pioneer in his field. He has been telling us for years about climate change and no one listened. I do like his shows on TV and also his voice which is a delight to listen to in days such as now with people mumbling and you do not know what they are saying. Good on him anyway for doing this. I believe he is trying to keep up with technology the same as the Queen.

Mind stimulating questions such as.....Would you rather be a pixie or a fairy for the day?.....If you were a horse, which horse would you be?.....and my all time favourite....would you rather be an avocado or a zucchini?.....gee I really miss those types of though provoking questions.

Planet Earth II, Episode 2 : Mountains - is among my favourite! (Aired 2016). The episode is filmed in 10 countries and features 10 animals from each country. Snow leopards - Himalayas, Ladakh, India. Grizzly bears - Alberta, Canada. Summer bears - Rocky Mountains, USA. Flamingoes - San Pedro de Atacama, Chile. Mont Blanc aerials - Chamonix, France. Golden eagles - French Alps. Viscacha - San Pedro de Atacama, Chile. Bobcats -Yellowstone NP, USA. Ibex - Arabian Peninsula, Israel. Mount Everest - Nepal. A Ladakhi Proverb from episode : “A snow leopard is as beautiful as 10 women, as strong as 10 men and as wise as 10 astronomers”.

Will the Thames freeze over like it did in 1666? Climate change is a fact of life and always has been. The sheer terror that is being inflicted on small school children about the end of the world equates to the heaven/hell crap I was fed as a child, followed by the nuclear clock, about to kick off at midnight. When communism collapsed in the world (Stand fast North Korea and to some extent, China and Cuba) the ardent communists switched their terror tactics to new ice age, global warming, and then when that didn't work, climate change. There has to be a terror... NZ's Prime Minister used to head up a communist inspired world youth group. She has only recently weaned herself off using the word "comrade".
