A Life On Our Planet (David Attenborough) - Documentary Review

How bad is climate change really? In this bonus episode Juan and Kyrin go over their thoughts of the recent David Attenborough documentary. This starts with a summary of the doco, before leading onto the parts they liked/disliked as well as the thought provoking questions that were raised. These included discussion points on: providing actionable advice and an uplifting ending, personal accountability and gratitude, humans propensity to hate change of any sort, animal extinction perhaps not always being a negative, the value of animal lives and whether nuclear energy should be considered when compared to renewable sources. As always, we hope you enjoy, Mere Mortals out!
