After 44 years as the face of Canada's premier science TV show, you might expect David Suzuki to feel a little sadness and a little nostalgia as he steps down as host of 'The Nature of Things.' Not so.
After 44 years as the face of Canada's premier science TV show, you might expect David Suzuki to feel a little sadness and a little nostalgia as he steps down as host of "The Nature of Things." Not so."I'm an old guy. It's the next stage of my life. What the hell — it's reality."
"Science, of course, gives us the best measure of what's going on in the world, but you need a bigger context to see what we're studying. And that is the kind of Indigenous construct that has worked for Indigenous people for thousands of years," he says. He points to the example of the late David Schindler, the renowned University of Alberta water scientist who was an early and persistent voice on the environmental impact of Alberta's oilsands.
Suzuki himself has not shied from advocacy, particularly on climate change. In some circles, his name is a byword for meddling, do-gooder environmentalism and he is a polarizing figure."I'm very unhappy," he says. "I should have been much stronger."
