Watching Chris Packman’s Earth series, I got a different view. It will not be so bad as it was during the great extinctions. Our conditions on earth allowed the explosion of population in the recent 100 years. If goes worse, it will affect humans, and reduces them. And then comes something new.
Unless govs around the world realise how quickly things are changing, how rapidly things spread around the 6-7 billion on this globe and that the market 'does not care', so guidance is needed - then we'll be looking at the next set of issues and wondering how we solve them globally without being able to turn the clock back.
Not just guidance, laws. But governments only seem to think short-term (ie: the next election). There's a dearth of ambition.
'If you have a garden and a library, you have everything you need.'
I can't see anyway that works apart from a world government - all the issues faced are vastly too big for nation states. What's the point of China doing x if India does Y and Europe Z? We're no longer voting in govs to get the taxes for a king to go to war - we now need a gov who can look at the changes coming and decide on a path after weighing up the scientific evidence - not govs that say '...follow the market...'.
The UK and Ireland are some of the natured depeted countries in the world. It's deeply shocking. Talk about rewilding and people go into paroxysms and start shouting about Coke cans, as if we are not in the heart of a major planetary extinction event.
And today Truss announces 500,000 new homes. She thinks this is a vote winner. It's an out and out disaster. I hope the country can see that building programmes have to stop. Such an announcement should make her a pariah. We have 40% more housing stock than 40 years ago and much less regulation. Regulate the market and stop trashing what little green we have left. I do weep over this.
