It is not global warming that "threatens to destroy civilisation" nor "runaway technology", and there is no serious threat of "nuclear war" - or any sort of war.

The real threat is scaremongers like Peter McMahon and other drama queens suffering from recognition deprivation and serious personality disorders. It's people like him who want to "take over (your) lives" by spreading fear and stress.

'Beware of false prophets' might sound a bit religious for some, but it does apply when assessing people like Peter McMahon.

These references confirm Peter's apprehension re the present state and future of the humanly created world-mummery:

Academia writing this sort of rot and even worse teaching our kids is far more dangerous than the so called global warming threat. Anyway get with the program Peter it is now 'climate change'.

ttbn: On rare occasions, I'm forced to agree with you. Anyone can have wonderful 20-20 hindsight! That fixes what? The Sargent Shulz Syndrome that most pollies seem to be afflicted with nowadays as they pretend to give a rat's?

If here's too much carbon in our atmosphere! Stop pumping it in! And transition to a carbon-free form of energy, that's, reliable, dispatchable and vastly cheaper than coal, i.e. nuclear!

Not conventional nuclear like, Chernobyl or Fukushima! Or Fukushima or Chernobyl. Or Chernobyl or Fukushima! We all know the sky will fall if we adopt nuclear power!

After all, we know what happened to France, Germany, the UK, the U.S. Russia and Canada when they did! The sky fell and they are now no more!

But unconventional like Oak Ridge, Tenessee and as MSR ( molten salt reactor) Which was successfully field trialled between the 50 and 70s without accident or incident, until that paragon of political virtue, Richard Nixon fulled the funding on the eve of commissioning it as a power generator.

After which he couldn't have!

And the world would now be powered by MSR thorium and MSR deployed to burn nuclear waste, reducing the half-life to 300 years. And power the cheapest in the world. And energy for the world for thousands of years.

The other pieces of the jigsaw are, genuine reform and massive simplification of our two-tiered tax system as a one-tier flat tax of 15%!

And cooperative capitalism as the preferred, prospered and facilitated model. On the clear understanding that, co-ops were the only private enterprise, free-market business model that alone mostly survive the Great Depression largely intact! And because they have no peer in either efficiency or productivity! just need to move with the times and update/modernise at regular intervals!

If dairy Farmers had the sense to stay the course as part of self-owned co-ops? Guess what, none would be moaning about the price structure or their returns. Ditto sugar!

Lesson? You don't fix what ain't broke!

Talk about glass half empty! Or is today April 1? Either way, the world and humanity are in excellent shape with a few minor issues needing to be resolved. The author should read Empty Planet: The Shock of Global Population Decline by Darrell Bricker and John Ibbitson and hopefully he'll realise that climate change and over-use of natural resources are temporary problems that will be rsolved by the turn of the century as human population plateaus and then reduces.

Correction, fulled the funding should read pulled the funding!


Thank you, Grammarly!

Wouldn't recommend you to my worst enemies! Way too much time-wasting vexatious mischief and after posting alterations!? After you've disabled my bought and paid for Microsoft word autocorrect? Which I would recommend!

But then that's what Grammarly is programmed to do as your marketing model? Can't say, or infer blackmail marketing model as that would be libellous, so I won't.
