BBC Springwatch has long given up any pretence of objectivity. Now they are openly campaigning for societal change:

It seems that the commenters don’t agree!

Another program on the avoid list then. I don’t need TV presenters trying to foist their politics on me.
What do you mean, “another program …”? ‘XxxxxxWatch’ has always been on my avoid list!!
‘WinterWatch’ has always been ‘W****rWatch’ to me.
You mean it has a Woke Anchor
.. like most BBC shows have.
“…the planet will continue to be the most beautiful place in our universe.”
Obviously a man who has done a lot of travelling – perhaps he was in star Wars or Star Trek.
Packham is one of the biggest bell ends on TV. I refuse to watch any programmes he’s in.
+100.
I also resign from any organisation/charity that appoints this ghastly, posturing twerp to their team.
Packham needs to pack ’em. He should be fired.
“We have to change our minds and change our ways”.
Not to worry. When the rapid lowering of carbon fuel emissions takes place… to get to Net-zero ASAP, you may want to change your mind. Because your ways will then be waiting in line for gasoline, diesel fuel and paying a big price, even for biofuels…90% fossil.
It’s turned to ClimateWatch – bloody rubbish spouted by idiots – used to love the programme when Martin Hughes-Gaines was on – but since he was replaced for reasons only known to the British Propaganda Corporation, I cannot stand the presenters or their messages.BBC also replaced the incredibly successful Top Gear presenters and the show is bombing badly all over the world, causing BBC incomes to drop. And Dr Who’s woke plots are led by a lady whose accent I find difficult to understand, God help the other English-speaking nations. International sales of that will also plummet. The BBC is no longer fit for purpose, and its hordes of over-paid ‘managers’ couldn’t manage a day’s real and useful work in their lives.I just hope there is a massive revolt vs. paying the licence fee for never-ending repeats – I’m approaching 75 so have a vested interest…
We gave up on the Seasonwatch programmes several years ago when the PC brigade with their diversity and climate change agenda took over. They kicked out a white man and brought in a non-white female who was completely useless. It never helped that the main presenters were ex-DJs and ex-kids programme presenters who had never grown up.
Yes, the wonderful Michaela Strachan.
Lovely home in Cape Town. Reckon she took a sailing yacht to get here?
There’s Packham, blathering on about a patch of snow, showing how it was there all year round in the 1700s, not a mention of The Little Ice Age, that now melts during the summer on occasion.
I have heard Packham say he is autistic, in my view that is an insult to people who actually are autistic.
He is just an idiot.
“He is just an idiot” – without the Savant.
97%
100%!
I presume, in the spirit of this tweet, that Packham had now retired from guiding the mega rich across the planet on CO2 spunking first class extravaganzas to witness first hand the impact that CO2 spunking humans have on the planet?
As usual, Packham says we must change, but as usual he doesn’t say in which way he would like us to change. Come on Packham, tell us what you want us to do, and are you already doing it?
We have only 5 years to save the planet by cutting down on Springwatch! If we don’t stop doing Springwatch the we can’t save the planet from drowning in bullshit. This is an emergency, we are in an emergency. The Government must be responsible and take action – NOW!
I think the BBC have decided that they’re going to be nobbled very soon, so they might as well turn every programme into propaganda. News, children’s shows, Dr Who, soaps, music, nature programmes, the lot.
Since they’re inviting the nobbling, I hope that Parliament gets on and does it.
👍
Trouble is, it seems the government have swapped the red bus for a green one.
Pity they don’t listen to the people on the ‘Clapham Omnibus’ then.
The great popularity and apparent success of the climate movement against fossil fuels derives from its appeal to eco wacko and social activists of all colors that have been lost in the woods all these years looking for a reason why.

‘We have to act now. All of us.’
Nah. Not really.
“We have to act now”
That’s what all people on TV do…… ACT !
That’s TV’s purpose, entertainment.
Its all just from the same derivative as Hollywood.
Honesty is not required when you are ACTING.
Didn’t realize they had legalized glue and drugs in the presenters home town!
And the BBC wonders why it is losing its popularity!
The photography of wildlife nowadays gets better and better and is a joy to behold. Unfortunately, the commentary alongside it gets worse and worse and more dire with each series. It’s a shame they have to ruin it.
I agree about the photography, perhaps ic ould watch in Muted mode.
Or is their a fact filter we could add to remove all of the climate fiction they spout.

A simple lie. There is no crisis. Complain to the BBC. There is no crisis and we are already acting (more fool us) according to the science and the Stern Report.
So this goes way beyond the consensus.
cwis packham?
anything he utters, I take the opposite view, I’m always right.
I agree with him we need societal change, get rid of the BBC they are pointless.
Comments on this piece suggest a certain amount of scepticism:

Listening to Claire Perry/O’Neil being interviewed on R4 Today this morning was a master-class in her ignorance and hubris. She was intent on dissing Boris Johnson for sacking her, and the BBC allowed her to get away with it. At one point she had the gall to say that she turned down an offer of a Cabinet post so that she could concentrate on the COP26 Presidency!
‘Oh yes’, should have been the follow-up from BBC interviewer, ‘what Cabinet position was that, tea-maker?’
As for the idea that NEW cars should be banned from sale in 15 years’ time: utter insanity. Will the Gov now start plans to close Nissan; JLR; Aston Martin; BMW, not mention all the parts suppliers and manufacturers? Will new cars be allowed to be imported from countries that don’t ban them? Will old cars be maintained – or not – well past their road-worthy date?
Broadcast television is heating the atmosphere and damaging the environment.
Ban broadcast television immediately!
Why bother broadcasting BBC when there’s Netflixs?
That should shut up his nonsense.
Oh my God, Packham is possibly the most annoying human being on the planet. And he is so smug. You cannot beat the arrogance he displays when, due to him being the best photographer in the world, he passes his disparaging judgement on calendar photo’s sent in. Despite his undoubted knowledge of fauna, I wouldn’t leave one of my dogs in his care. But don’t you just love the way someone of his educational background (and Brian Cox),lets ideology comes first and they forget science when it comes to the Global Warming religion.
Looking at the responses, hope slowly returns!
That’s Brexit achieved – but how can we get the dangerous man-made global warming (aka ‘climate change’) nonsense off the agenda and return to sanity?
Brexit is a process not an event. The event of us leaving the EU has passed which should shut up the Remainers but the creation of a new trading relationship with the UK’s biggest trade partner is still to do, and the future looks far from bright.
The government has a majority. It could repeal Miliband’s Climate Change Act, but it won’t do so and continues to revere the great Lord Deben, who has made a fortune from the whole agenda from the start.
The CC committee is filled with vested interest. Baroness Brown represents the offshore wind industry, Rebecca Heaton from Drax represents the hundreds of millions in carbon credits received by Drax. They even have a psychologist on the committee to show them how to sell the snake oil.
You might want to use Nigel Farage’s assessment of a EU whatever who was belittling them at a meeting in October 2019: “You patronizing stuck up snob!” Seems to fit here too. There is a lot of that going around, both sides of the pond.
Quite a discussion here on whether Boris knows ought about Climate Change.

This is what we are up against judging by response to one of my comments
“If it’s only warming how can a lowest ever cold temperature be recorded? Last decade countries recording lowest temperature = 2 in Africa, 1 of 3 stations in Antarctica , 5 in Asia and 4 in Europe. It’s not one way and can only be natural variable.”
This is a simplistic take.
Global warming changes weather patterns. This may result in occasional local cooling.
Isn’t Carrie teaching him?
I agree, we are in a crisis, we have to act and we have to change our ways.
We have a surplus of brainwashed fanatics who want to destroy modern civilization, and they’re gaining traction and positions of power.
It might require a much bigger crisis to occur – in order to cull this present one. I can’t imagine anything else that will bring people to their senses.
