This was definitely one of the most enjoyable lectures I have ever attended! Yes dear readers, Prof David Bellamy himself gave an amazing lecture at my uni! How exciting is this? It was this Annual Darwin lecture, all important people came and it felt really nice to be there
Prof Bellamy talked about natural history in general, the title itself was: "Natural History: It had to happen". He emphasised the importance of natural selection and showed how humankind smoothly fits into biodiversity. I loved how sceptical he was about global warming and have to admit that I was quite fascinated by this particular view. Namely, he does not believe in all those statements claimed by all sorts of scientists or environmentalists! Polar bear populations were said to be actually bigger than some years ago, not smaller and endangered, which I found pretty interesting, because most of the papers I've read so far claim that global warming is particularly threatening for the polar bears... which probably would be if it was happening! On top of his broad knowledge and experience, I was impressed by his cheerful personality. His jokes made me laugh my head off! It was such a very good lecture!!! you ought to wish you were there!

well I don't really know how I can help you... He was a guest at my uni, but I found this webite which has got his e-mail address (hopefully it works):
