This scaremongering propaganda is starting to get laughable. It's absurd.

I think the world will be different ie worse in 70 years but I don't see a breakdown of civilization quite yet.

Curious - whose propaganda is it? What do they hope to gain?

We're not likely to know. One could suspect an agenda among governments to justify "green" taxation and corporates to profit from green initiatives.

When has a government ever needed to secretly conspire to raise taxes and levy new ones?

If anything's absurd and laughable it's you head in the sand approach.

At school in the 70s I was taught that by the year 2000 there would be no oil left.

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.

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.

Do you have any solutions or should we just carry on as we are? There are lots of things we used to do, but don't do any more because we know better.
