Attenborough Statement Avalanches are getting “more and more unpredictable” due to Climate Change, but the numbers show staggering recent declines
Sunday night and it’s time for the green lord to send the children to bed with tears in their eyes with his puzzling and unprovable tales of the Armageddon climate. This week, Sir David Attenborough said climate change was making “terrible” avalanches “more and more unpredictable”. Of course, there is no way to prove such a vague speculation, and the odd disappearance is any mention of recent avalanches that have occurred in large numbers over the entire mountain range. Rockies in North America and the Alps in Europe.
Film Frozen Planet II in the Canadian Rockies, Attenborough prefaced its climate change claims with breathtaking footage shot by a racing drone of an avalanche falling down a mountain at more than 100 kilometers. / H. Turn up the tempo, crank up the music as Sir David explains that in just two minutes, up to a million tons of snow fell down the side of the mountain. Of course, the slides of any nature, snow or rock, can be unpredictable and potentially destructive. Climate has a part to play in such natural events, but putting all the blame on humans for burning fossil fuels is unprovable and beyond any credible scientific investigation. which trust. It was just Sir David’s scripted opinion, and it was broadcast to promote the Net Zero command and control agenda. As executive producer of Sir David, Mark Brownlow newly acknowledged: “The storytelling about the environment is much more ingrained in this series.”

Interestingly, as with many natural disasters, the death toll from avalanches in recent decades has more or less stabilized. A group of Alpine geographers Find that over the past four decades, about 100 people have lost their lives in the Alps each year. However, the number of deaths in what are described as ‘controlled settlements’ has decreased significantly since the 1970s. The number of deaths in ‘uncontrolled settlements’, mainly recreational accidents, which nearly doubled between 1960-1980, but have remained relatively stable since then, despite a dramatic increase in winter skiers.
Attenborough, and other political climate change promoters, can’t be either way. If anthropogenic global warming is taking place, this will lead to less snowfall. Scientific investigation has confirmed that avalanche activity is lower during periods of low snowfall, and it is reasonable to say that they become more predictable, not less. But is there less snow around? Possibly a little less in the recent past, with a small natural warming that appears to have run out of steam since the turn of the century. The European Union of Geosciences published a spacious paper last year looked at long-term Alpine snow trends and noticed “some rebound” from years of heavy snowfall in the 1980s and early 1990s.
