‘Fallen Icon’ in some ways is a depressing read. Of the three species involved: Walrus, Bears, and Humans, we humans come off as being the worst in many ways, most of the time.
The book shows how a combination of flawed assumptions, noble cause corruption, group think, and a willingness by individuals and institutions to be co-opted by an almost inexhaustible supply of readily available money, has born bitter fruit.
The only bright spot in the whole affair has been the actions of Susan Crockford, and a small cohort of like-minded people who also subscribe to the scientific method, who have pursued scientific truth despite all the calumny, deceit, and disparagement thrown at them.
It is important to have the facts placed in the public record for all to see, and to continue to insist that truth be told, as best we can discern it, despite current public hysteria.
It is only by scientists being open, honest, and persistent that we can have any hope of changing the scientific travesty of the IPCC’s computer projections and Green Energy dogma.

Sir David Attenborough was one of the most trusted and admired men in the world – until early 2019, when he narrated a joint Netflix/WWF documentary called Our Planet that showed several walrus falling off a high cliff to their deaths on jagged rocks below. Hundreds were shown to have died, which Attenborough blamed on humanity’s wanton use of fossil fuels. Many viewers, including children, were traumatised by the brutal images. He used this horrifying imagery to jump-start a three year campaign against human-caused global warming that included ten documentaries laden with groundless climate emergency messaging, much of it aimed at the wealthiest and most powerful people in the world. Attenborough’s relentless climate activism included a utopian vision of global changes for society eerily similar to the one proposed by the World Economic Forum (WEF). The story told in Fallen Icon is every bit as horrifying as the falling walrus tragedy porn Attenborough and the WWF manipulated to their advantage: it is an especially egregious example of science corrupted for political objectives.

Stunning Revelations About Sir David Attenborough
Susan Crockford has spent her career as a scientist studying the evolution, populations, and behaviour of Arctic mammals. She has been treated unfairly by some of her colleagues for not joining in the alarmist narrative that polar bears are endangered with extinction due to climate change, when in fact the polar bear population in the Arctic is healthy and growing. In her new book Susan chronicles the deceitful and unscrupulous way in which Sir David Attenborough has characterized the death of hundreds of walruses, claiming they committed suicide due to a lack of ice caused by global warning. The clear truth is that the walruses were being attacked by a pack of polar bears, not uncommon in the Arctic. Thanks to Susan we now know the truth about Sir David’s shameless attempt to use the walrus deaths to support another myth, that there is a “climate emergency” that requires we effectively give up modern civilization altogether.Patrick Moore, Ph.D. Ecologist and Greenpeace co-founder.

Fallen Icon - Double Meaning
Reviewed in the United States on February 16, 2022Verified Purchase
"Fallen Icon" has a nice double meaning. Sir David was a TV icon for decades, but his dishonest claim about walrus falling off a cliff due to climate change damaged his reputation.
Climate activists intended to use the walrus as a new icon for catastrophism, but the walrus numbers refused to be in devastating decline.
This book is well referenced by a distinguished researcher, and is readable.

Interesting; manipulation of science brilliantly exposed
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on February 22, 2024Verified Purchase
Very good book, clearly exposing the subversive manipulation of science which has become endemic over the last decade or so. The author deserves credit for thoroughly investigating the background behind the story here, namely the wholly false narrative being peddled by the fraudsters hiding behind the veil of science, to further their own agendas, whether financial or promoting their personally held subversive ideals. For many years I have grown tired of the relentless alarmism being peddled by Attenborough, and those who have uncritically accepted the whole ‘climate catastrophe’ nonsense. This book confirmed my view of this man’s decent from trusted ‘national treasure’ to a dangerous and deluded old fool.

Well documented, a must-read for those who really care about biodiversity and truth
Reviewed in the United States on February 21, 2022Verified Purchase
The author is a courageous scientist who dared to publish a book against the dominant doxa. She knows very well the topic she is writing about and you will learn more about walrus than you expected.
This is very sad to see how David Attenborough was enrolled in this propaganda.
Ecology too has fallen in the realm of Orwellian manipulation. A must-read in an age of global lies.

Very quick replacement, thank you. The new copy is perfect.
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on May 22, 2023Verified Purchase
The replacement is perfect and an interesting book, but it is very difficult to get the defective copy back as the new type return label wasn't accepted by the Coop or Post Office. There used to be good simple labels, why is it so complicated now? Without a car I've walked miles trying to send the faulty copy back.

Susan knows her wildlife. And the BS of the destructive “environmentalists”.
Reviewed in the United States on February 5, 2022Verified Purchase
As with the polar bear lies, Crockford has all the data to prove that only the other sides assertions are false.
