Adam Douglas It was funny to see the BBC try to soften Attenborough's message yesterday. For instance, they changed his message (I'm also paraphrasing): "extinction is on the horizon" to "climate change /could/ be the most serious problem ahead of us" -- there's just no point in trying if you're relying on mainstream press to broadcast what you're saying. It was already kind of daft to address the UN anyway, what will that accomplish?
