"We indeed live in harmony with nature and nature is about to start harmonising us rather brutally"

This has been foretold sooo many times. Sooner or later someone will be right.

"we are the most stupid species ever to populate this good earth"

Speak for yourself, unless you happen to be a slime mould.

“There are opportunities to replace fears, we need promote them not cry about our past mistakes, they're done and gone, we need move on.” (Fluff 4)
Those past mistakes are far from done and gone. They remain with us largely unchanged – and we dream up equally stupid new ones to replace those which have been expunged. It would take a good-sized book to catalogue a fair representation, but let us have a look at just two.

This planet’s environment supports 6.5 billion people. That is possible only because we are mining the environment. Perhaps it would find fairly stable cohabitation with no more than two billion, yet we are on track towards 9 in one human generation. In spite of this, the fundamentalists promoting growth of human numbers - in the Vatican, the bible-belt of the USA, etc. - are allowed to impose sadism upon women in the developing world:places like East Timor, the South Pacific, Africa, where women would limit their fertility had they capability to do so. No done-and-gone mistake, it continues.

Consumption is the only game in town for the world economy dictating that it grows – continuously, incessantly. Most environmental groups foster minimization of individual consumption as environmental necessity, yet largely haven't the guts to admit that, say 5%, individual minimization will be totally negated by 10% increase in the number of consumers. While this milling around on the periphery takes place, the world’s leading economy is on the edge of an economic precipice due to over-consumption on other than necessities. It is now trying to postpone the inevitable fall by promoting further growing consumption: Bone-headed desperation, driving on with the burden of a past mistaken economic paragdim.
“We indeed live in harmony with nature and nature is about to start harmonising us rather brutally because we are the most stupid species ever to populate this good earth.” (HenryVIII). We would have to be, seeing that we have the cerebral facilities to address our problems, but instead continue to foster them. Philosophy of climate change inaction is wrapped up in this parcel.

Hi DEMOS, I agree, action is necessary to deal with the misinformation being propagated by these global warming advocates of doom and gloom, and their agenda to socialize everyones private assets. I once personally ran as an independent candidate, a campaign to be elected as a local councillor against the 2 major parties and their 4 candidates and succeeded. The current machine fosters division and feeds the fear factory for political gain at the expense of private enterprise and their communities assets. Those who feed this machine, when knowing the lies and corruption and continue to feed this fiction into the system are aiding and abetting and therefore complicit in the crime of theft by other means of community trust and their assets. This is why I consider Global Warming advocates the ultimate pseudo intellectual fraudster. Their loss of honesty, reason, trust, personal responsibility and faith in humanity among other reasons for this continued chorus, is now trying to develop a philosophy to institute their survival ! "Now the facts to the contrary are moving out of the shadows of fear". Most of the noise emanates from all level of governments and their ever expanding public funded coterie of servants public. Public funded agents of change have a vested interest in keeping the simple private enterprise "plebs" in their low position in society. Socialism and its missing mother communism never gave birth to their ideal child and there fore these agents of change are using fiction to achieve their desired outcomes... Global warming advocates should not be publicly funded as governments do not deliver value and now lack the values which made them attractive in the first place, kind reflections, Dallas.

Well said Kellie.
Whichever way I look at it, Exciting, challenging and interesting times are predicted.

First off the rank is the world recession just about to kick in. Most in the financial world knew it was coming but refused responsibility for their collective actions. They worked for profits and ignored what they knew to be a certainty ahead. Only the date was uncertain.

Following on from that will be Peak Oil. (Its a pity that the cause and effect of Peak Oil will be muddied by the preceeding recession). We all know that oil is not being made anymore but we all continue to 'drive' towards a horrible oil shortage. Only the date is uncertain. (Though best estimates are 2010, plus or minus 2 years).

Finally will come the pain of climate change leading to a winding back of those 6.5 billion people. Only the date is uncertain. (For Australians anyway, some are in it already).

Dallas, I hope you and your mate are young enough to still be around when the ordure hits the fan. The folly of your collective brains will then become apparent to you and your kind.

I fear that while the Earth will survive, mankind is doomed.

Hi David VK3AUU, Thank you for your concerned thoughts on the future of our world, and your end of the world conclusions. I do know that when someone does not know something, they make up stories to suite. If you would like to know some australian generated facts you may wish to start with Indigo jones, a long range weather forecaster now deceased. It won't be an easy research exercise nor popular fiction. Then your individual observations and assumptions may be a pleasing product, instead of your current pack exaggerations. Kind reflections, I wish you well, Dallas.
