The "solution" to these issues is invariably restraint on our behaviour, in other words, to get us out of our cars, to stop flying and live Ghandi-like lifestyles. Really, these upper middle class people think that working people have it too good and are clogging up the roads and airports, they want to return to a golden age where only the privileged drove and flew. Emma Thompson took a high profile part in that Extinction Rebellion event, then the next day was spotted flying first class. Lame.

Voice of reason 0 #11 Posted June 5, 2019 Well, the human population falling back to 10-20% of it's current size will give the world and the destruction we've reaped upon it, chance to recover. Hopefully we'll know better second time round. I don't relish the intermediate period at all, for us or our younger generations.

There are lots of things we used to do, but don't do any more because we know better. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
