Aside from the unavoidable snippet while flicking through TV channels, the top dogs at BHP had successfully removed David Attenborough from their lives.
They’d blocked him on all forms of social media and even blocked his number on their private phone lines – just in case he called.
However, in the days following Attenborough’s speech at the recent World Economic Forum, the chatter in the Twittersphere became too much for them and they begrudgingly decided that they should unblock him to see what all the fuss is about.
The grown men then hopped on a conference call and unblocked Sir David at the same time.
“What is this geriatric on about now?” one board member said.
“’We need a global environment plan?’ We’ve already got one, mate!” said another.
“Why is the age of the humans a bad thing?” added another.
After catching up on all the Attenborough gossip that they missed, the group then thought it best to re-block him and continue to disregard the future of Earth as they have been doing.
The speech the BHP boys were picking apart is one where he warned attendees that the planet faces almost certain destruction if climate change isn’t dealt with – a fairly serious claim that anyone with a brain would take seriously.
More to come.
