So us believers in climate change have been conned
Multiculturalism is a left wing plot
Coal is the only fuel, no need to find others
Who is behind this? who blinded me to truth? and why
Why are the wars in the middle east and Africa not being stopped
Who is leading us in the wrong directions?

Hi Belly,

On Middle East and African wars, don't be misled by the maps - they cover about five Australias, and maybe seventy countries, hundreds of ethnic groups ('tribes' of millions) and many religious enmities. So nobody is going to go 'in' and 'stop the wars'.

Coal and gas might be with us for some decades yet, like it or not. If they were subsidised to the same extent as 'renewables', maybe forever. And if 'renewables' were NOT subsidised, the answer might still be the same: forever.

I'm all for an inclusive - not exclusive, ghettoised - multiculturalism, on the basis of common adherence to the rule of law, equality of the sexes, one person one vote, respect for our imperfect democracy, and equality of opportunity (and all the supports which may have to go with that).

Don't worry, Belly, we'll muddle through :)

Cheers,

Joe

just seeing the lying liberal media and the violence/hatred of terrorist like Antifa shows you that we are in trouble Belly. The sexualisation of kids and forcing everyone to accept perversion as natural is also a pretty good indicator we are going the way of ancient Rome. Strange how the left need to invent issues to be morally superior about while slaughtering millions of unborn. Yep we are in trouble largely due to man's corrupt and greedy heart and secularism has shown its as bad as any fake religion.

Dear Belly,

There was a report published on May 6th 2019 by
the Intergovernmental Science Policy Platform on
Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services (a big
international quango) which was based on 15,000
research papers that makes grim reading. It makes
claims that a million species of animals and
plants are threatened with extinction.

That three quarters of the world's land and two
thirds of its marine environment have been
significantly altered by human action. That urban
areas have doubled in size in just the past three
decades and that more than 85% of wetlands have
been lost and more than 90% of ocean fish stocks
are being harvested at or above sustainable levels.

And it gets worse. Then we have the human refugee
problem, the wars, and our own internal problems.

Yes the world is truly in trouble. And we do need to
start taking notice of the vast army of experts
who are willing and able to guide us through
the coming difficult years.

A better world is possible. It will take effort.
It will be difficult. But it will be worth it.

The American anthropologist - Margaret Mead once said -

"Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful
committed citizens can change the world, indeed, it's
the only thing that ever has."

Is the world truly in trouble?
A more apt question would be-who got our World into so much trouble ?
My answer to that is; Sociologists/social engineers, inadequately intelligent Academics, incompetent bureaucrats in fact, all those people who hang off the aprons of those who create wealth. After they got their slice of the cake they then complain about the hands that feed them.
That's why our World is in trouble !

Interesting all posts so far but tell me who and why, is lying to us about climate change
Too While the current wars are about to see yet another [Trump's reelection plan] why can we not stop them
Is the UN truly a monster or just useless
Some target it, and a Socialism I can see no evidence of, for conspiring against us
Now for runner gee read that post
What bleeding rubbish
Tell Me how many of us, from all sides of the fence would stand for such a world
It exists only in runners mind
Add mass migration and refugees to the problem
Driven by those wars, by hunger, by the first glimpse of overpopulation
And by economic forces like the west's welfare
Yet some want to stop aid?
Who is behind this? or are we all too interested in trivia to even think about it
