From the late 1980s to the early 90s, The Ultimate Warrior was one of the most popular stars in the World Wrestling Federation. While he enjoyed success as a two-time Intercontinental Champion and one-time WWF Champion, he was also one of the most controversial figures in wrestling.

The isolation suffered by Leopold, who had observed the environmental and human catastrophe of the Dustbowl close up, is hardly the fate of Greta Thunberg, with her legions of admirers (not to mention detractors) worldwide. But today’s planetary wounds, of which she has spoken so eloquently, are on a scale that would have shaken even a man as environmentally aware as Leopold to the core. The book starts in O’Regan’s childhood home on a dairy farm in Dripsey in West Cork, where his late dad (who he endearingly calls Dada throughout) was a “tasty” or tidy farmer who sprayed rushes and had ditches bulldozed to widen pokey fields. He was “partial to the Gramoxone to get moss out of yards” but also a man who loved nature and planted trees to replace the dead elm. “So I knew he was one of the good guys.” In 1985, after spending six weeks in California training for a bodybuilding contest, he was invited to join a group of bodybuilders – Garland Donoho, Mark Miller, and Steve Borden – to form a professional wrestling team. Warrior accepted the invitation and abandoned his bodybuilding career as well as his plans to become a chiropractor.

The media have a role in sweeping up the mess too. “If you’re an opinion shaper and you’re stirring stuff up and you’re working in the opinion industry — I’m sure I’ve done something like this in the past so tell me — it doesn’t mean we need to cover the biodiversity agenda without listening to any other things. But if you’re presenting it as ‘transport wars’ or ‘food wars’ or ‘culture wars’, you know what you’re doing. Stop it. Insofar as we’re all doing a bit, people who communicate with large numbers of people have more of a duty than one person in their car or in their van.Harris, Jamie (April 9, 2014).

On September 27, 2005, WWE released a DVD documentary focusing on Warrior's wrestling career, titled The Self-Destruction of the Ultimate Warrior. The DVD featured clips of his more notable feuds and matches along with commentary from WWE stars past and present (most of which are unflattering), with Triple H (by this point one of WWE's top main eventers and the husband of Vince McMahon's daughter Stephanie McMahon) adding that his WrestleMania debut loss against Warrior at WrestleMania XII left him with mixed emotions, saying that Warrior "ruined the experience" for him and was "one of the most unprofessional guys" he's ever performed with. [81] The DVD has provoked some controversy due to Warrior's own allegations of libel by WWE against him. Originally, Warrior was asked to help with the production of the DVD, but as he refused to work with WWE (citing he did not want to be associated with their promotion), there had been some resulting animosity between Warrior and WWE over the Warrior claiming bias on the part of WWE. [82] In January 2006, Warrior filed another lawsuit against WWE in an Arizona court over the depiction of his wrestling career in The Self-Destruction of the Ultimate Warrior DVD. [83] On September 18, 2009, Warrior's lawsuit in Arizona was dismissed. [84] Public speaking Perhaps the single most distressing aspect of the climate crisis is that, long after the folly of burning fossil fuels became undeniable, we have continued to increase greenhouse gas emissions. We have dumped more carbon in the atmosphere since the first IPCC report in 1990 than in all previous history.

Even a reader well informed on the climate and biodiversity crises will find themselves more painfully aware of the nightmare into which we have been sleepwalking for decades, and from which we still show so little sign of awakening. You will drive your car, eat your sirloin, light your fire — or watch your neighbours do these things, if you’ve given them up — even less comfortably after reading it.
