It's unfortunate we didn't get more facts from the interviewee on how exactly it's too late. The interview felt more like a complaint about politics and less about the dire situation of humanity.
David Suzuki is even known to people in Australia, he's expressed his views on our national broadcaster the ABC's Science Show many times. I think the first time I'd heard him talk was in the 1980s.
His view are well-known to anyone who has listened to his broadcasts. He is a clear and articulate speaker.
Edit: I agree with xnx's point that "the climate change "movement" and messaging is so bad and misguided that it is counterproductive." Suzuki is one of the exceptions, his arguments are logical, straightforward and backed up by scientific fact.
Suzuki is not just a local phenomenon, nor is he a mumbling hysterical ideolog but a well-known and well-respected science writer of longstanding who bases what he says in science.
I'm not local but come from the other side of the planet and even the opposite hemisphere and I first heard Suzuki speak over 40 years ago. Neither am I an hysterical ideolog, as mentioned I agree with xnx's point that the climate change Movement's messaging is bad, misguided and counterproductive.
I'd add the reason why it's so is that for some within the Movement the environment is more than just politics, for them it's essentially morphed into a religion and it's their constant proselytizing that has annoyed the shit out of many, myself included.
Suzuki is not one of those but a science communicator who works with scientific facts.
Not that that's unusual. My sense of a lot of left-wing and political/environmental folks is that they'd be fine with watching humanity exterminated by climate change - so long as they were allowed a nice, long "I was RIGHT, and you were WRONG" gloating monologue near the end.
