“In the past, we didn’t understand the effect of our actions. Unknowingly, we sowed the wind and now, literally, we are reaping the whirlwind. But we no longer have the excuse. now we do recognize the consequences of our behavior.
Now surely, we must act to reform it – INDIVIDUALLY AND COLLECTIVELY, NATIONALLY AND INTERNATIONALLY – or we doom future generation to catastrophe.”
BRAVO FOR SIR DAVIS!

Unknowingly, we sawed the wind and now, literally, we are reaping the whirlwind.
But we no longer have the excuse: now we do recognize the consequences of our behavior.
Now surely, we must act to reform it – individually and collectively, nationally and internationally – or we doom future generation to catastrophe.” by Sir David Attenborough, 2006.
