David Bellamy - what ? where did he go?

he still looks remarkably well despite being 83. I wouldn't be surprised if he stuck around for another 15 years

That Telegraph story is dated 2013.

Absolutely brilliant naturalist and writer, paid the price for speaking the truth. Slightly OT, Benny Hill did a good impersonation of him a long time ago

David Bellamy used to be a botany lecturer at the University of Durham. Many years ago a woman who'd been a student of his recounted the time he'd led a group of students to look at peat bogs and encouraged them to taste some of the plants. Bellamy was the only one not subsequently ill.

His wikipedia page says:
Born    18 January 1933 (age 83)
London, England, UK

Happy birthday, Dr B, and I expect someone with an abacus will soon be along to update your age.

@Life-Lucky -- Benny Hill did a good impersonation of him a long time ago

Lenny Henry used to do David Bellamy until political correctness put an end to trans-racial impressions.

Head-in-the-sand  brigade I've just woken up…… Lol

Global warming is real you chumps

Look what happened to Venus

450°! C  on the surface ..... You would not like it

Head-in-the-sand  brigade have just woken up…… Lol

Bellamy is a pillock

Poisoning his students?

Venus? what about Mercury?

the sun is blasting up and our protective shield every second of the day...

Unless a rogue blackhole spins its way across the universe and sucks us all in

Data shows 2016 likely to be warmest year yet.

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/science-environment-38652746

Temperature data for 2016 shows it is likely to have edged ahead of 2015 as the world's warmest year.
Data from Nasa and the UK Met Office shows temperatures were about 0.07 degrees Celsius above the 2015 mark.
Although the Met Office increase was within the margin of error, Nasa says that 2016 was the third year in a row to break the record.
The El Niño weather phenomenon played a role, say scientists, but the main factor was human emissions of CO2.
Complex picture
The latest conclusions won't come as a much of a shock to observers, as the likely outcome was trailed heavily towards the end of last year.
So warm was the early part of 2016 - influenced by a powerful El Niño - that some leading climate scientists were predicting as early as May that a new record was likely.

According to Nasa figures, 2016 is now the warmest year in a record that dates back to 1880.

"2015 has been the warmest year on record up until now, so 2016 has just beaten that and and it's beaten that by about 0.1- 0.12 of a degree Celsius, which doesn't seem like a lot, but in terms of the year to year variations it's actually huge," Dr Gavin Schmidt from Nasa told BBC News.

"And so this is a very clear record that we're seeing, is driven mainly by changes in the tropical Pacific where we had an El Niño event that produced a lot of warmth. But we've also seen long term trends in warming mostly due to the increasing greenhouse gases."

MARVELLOUS WARM GLOBEYS!

I think he signed for West Ham ,or was it Coventry or Newcastle or Cardiff or Liverpool .

He got around
