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.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fallen Icon - Double Meaning
Reviewed in the United States on February 16, 2022
Verified 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.

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.

4.0 out of 5 stars The manipulation of opinion by activists
Reviewed in the United States on February 20, 2022
Verified Purchase
David Attenborough produced many wonderful documentaries during his career. Now he is a very old man, in his nineties, and it is fair to question his remaining judgment. The story of the falling walruses that was put out over his name was a manufactured story, and Susan Crockford offers the evidence. Attenborough had no personal knowledge of the story, and simply signed where he was told to sign, and believed an activist infiltrated group around him. It is sad that he was used this way. The public is increasingly put in the position of having to doubt everything they are told, activists having much commandeered media. Doubt is the beginning of wisdom.

5.0 out of 5 stars Must read book exposes fraudulent tactics of climate activists
Reviewed in the United States on January 21, 2022
"Fallen Icon exposes how 'the science' was corrupted by a political campaign to promote the false notion that a global 'climate emergency' exists. How do you scare the public about climate change when polar bear numbers keep rising? Easy, show the public horrifying images of walruses falling to their deaths and hundreds of walrus corpses, and blame those deaths on scarier and scarier predictions of the future based on flawed climate models tuned to maximize dire scenarios. Crockford digs deep to expose the fraudulent tactics that climate activist Sir David Attenborough used to lobby for political 'solutions' that included a revolution of society not unlike the The Great Reset and the Green New Deal. If you thought Attenborough and the WWF really just wanted to save the walrus, then you need to read Fallen Icon." --

5.0 out of 5 stars What to do when the facts won’t do the job
Reviewed in the United States on March 14, 2022
Doctor Susan Crockford has exposed a terrible lapse of judgement and decency by failing to mention that polar bears, the natural predator of walruses, forced some walrus to jump off a cliff rather than be devoured by these carnivores.

Instead, Sir David Attenborough, the BBC, and Netflix took great pains to hide that fact so they could blame anthropogenic CO2 for doing great harm to the walruses even though there has been little change in the viability of walruses, and polar bears, in the Arctic for thousands of years.

This story has certainly caused me to wonder what other lapses of full disclosure these Anthropogenic Global Warming Alarmists are willing to perpetrate in order to support their preferred narrative when the facts are not enough to do the job for them.

5.0 out of 5 stars How a tale of deception was unravelled.
Reviewed in Canada on February 19, 2022
Verified Purchase
‘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.

5.0 out of 5 stars Interesting; manipulation of science brilliantly exposed
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on February 22, 2024
Verified 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.

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.

5.0 out of 5 stars Easy to Read and well researched
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on July 5, 2022
Verified Purchase
I did find Dr Crockford's book well written and researched. It does expose some of the manipulation undertaken by the Mass Media and effect of propaganda on children. It is well set out with short chapters allowing reader to read it a small amount at a time. The extensive references and notes give an indication of the amount of work the writer undertook.

As a professional scientist I grew up with Heinz Sielmann and Anglia's Survival, so I came to David Attenborough's documentaries somewhat late. Although the photography was superb, I found David Attenborough's presentation annoying (as did other people). For example his male dominated description of baboon socialites drew criticisms and his lack of scientific knowledge in First Life allowed him a silly statement abut the origin of multicellularity. My recollection is that he often added his opinion despite the BBC Charter stating that presenters should not do so.

The bit of the book I would disagree with is on his radicalisation (I think not). I believe he is typical of people who have had a fairly privileged life and try to atone by virtue signaling.

I certainly would recommend this book.

Crockford calls out Attenborough as a climate activist - as eager to spread false narratives as Greta. There are many motives for this. Politicians for political gain, film studios for clicks and finance, and Attenborough because he needs a legacy. But his true legacy will be as an arch deceiver-priest of the new CO2 religion.
