David Attenborough, Arnold Schwarzenegger lend green star power to open UN's COP24 climate talks

Sir David Attenborough says the "collapse of our civilisations and the extinction of much of the natural world is on the horizon" unless urgent action is taken against global warming.
UN Secretary-general, Antonio Guterres, told countries to ditch
 coal and embrace the opportunities of new energy sources.
The 92-year-old famed British naturalist and BBC presenter blamed humans for the, "man-made disaster of global scale, our greatest threat in thousands of years”.

"The world's people have spoken, their message is clear: time is running out," he said.

"They want you, the decision makers, to act now.”

The comments were made in Katowice, Poland, the city hosting the UN's COP24 climate talks — a multilateral meeting drawing together about 200 countries to set the rulebook for the 2015 Paris climate accords.
