Attenborough ‘alarmed’ climate change inertia

David Attenborough has warned of the “disastrous” delays in taking action on climate change.

The naturalist said the “alarming” thing is that other issues are going to “take priority and take world leaders’ attention from this urgent problem”.

Attenborough, 89, was talking ahead of his latest documentary about the Great Barrier Reef and as the United Nations conference on climate change takes place in Paris.
