After years of climate change language (remember acid rain in the mid 80s? Then weren’t we heading into a mini ice age, but was that before or after the hole in the ozone…) I’ve concluded that the biggest problem is that humans resent being content; as a species we seem to need to fear something. Climate change and threats ties in nicely in the west with the decline in mainstream religion. Consumerism fills the void a little, but there’s nothing better than banging around and wailing about how we are all doomed!
Sure, lets use less, recycle and push for each nation to be independent in their energy supply – but speaking personally, this hand wringing over us destroying the planet through irreversible climate change and co2 abuse is now beyond tired. In the UK we seem to have a government intent on enslaving the race and turning the clock back to the 1700s – alas so many who believe are endorsing their own enslavement and are pushing to let their elderly parents die of cold while handing great wads of cash to industry and landowners in the name of saving the planet for their childrens future. It’s not funny; it’s a catastrophe and without blogs like this becoming mainstream, it will continue.
Good work sir! Keep it up.
