Re: The Environmental Thread
Without too much (read any) data gathering I've formed the opinion that it's too late to save the planet. We keep getting warning shots that something big is going to happen and I don't think anyone would be surprised if it was lurking just around the corner.
There are too many of us. We all want feeding and it's feeding us that causes the biggest problems. Land for meat to live, land to grow food to feed the meat, land for oil (take your pick of what kind). Do a search on what causes deforestation and you'll be hit by lots of results saying logging is the 2nd biggest cause. Weird result, just tell, me whats actually the problem.
We'll be wiped off the Earth sooner rather than later and the Earth will go on to maybe repair the damage, or limp on until it's death once we are long gone.
We can and should all do our bit of course and I'd like to think we do. But it isn't Joe Bloggs forgetting to put his recycling out and then thinking fuck it, I'm burning it out the back that's causing the grief is it. Asking Joe Bloggs if he fancies trying recycled shit paper is one thing. Asking Johnny Boardroom if he fancies stopping making billions upon billions of quids is quite another.
When God said to the both of us "Which one of you wants to be Sugar Ray?" I guess I didnt raise my hand fast enough
