Hey God bless you, me too! If there is anything inspiring about watching David Attenborough films, other than our gorgeous Earth, it is that nature has the processes to recover. Even in the worst of conditions. Just look at Chernobyl. A whole ecosystem returned and is thriving better than the ecosystem on the outer perimeter of it.

Talking of Attenborough, it's difficult to stay hopeful after seeing his one hour Climate Change - The Facts, despite Attenborough's optimism at the end. The time lapse sequences from satellite of deforestation, destruction, pollution etc to an extent rarely seen really puts our species' suicidal, destructive tendencies in context.

For me it was far more "we're fucked" than inspiring call to action. Haven't given up trying yet, though I am not at all hopeful now.
