Absolutely correct extinction is a foregone conclusion, but it's too late now.

All these protesters have missed the boat, the effects are now irreversible.

That's the unfortunate situation.

On average, Brandon estimates the ocean is contaminated by 8.3 million pieces of so-called mini-microplastics per cubic meter of water. Previous studies measuring larger pieces of plastic found only 10 pieces per cubic meter.

Makes Brexit debate look like the Sooty and Sweep show or an episode of Noddy.


Extinction rebellion is thirty years too late ........

Extinction...... ? No, but a change of lifestyle is necessary.

Eskimos and Laplanders live in very cold environments,

Moaris the indigenous Polynesian people of New Zealand lived and survived in an adverse environment

Aboriginal Australians lived and survived in an adverse environment.

We soft people just need a generation or two to adapt to the changing environment.
 
Germany still. Have coal fired powerd stations

It could be said that Margaret thatcher was the one European leader who did more for the environment than any other

When she destroyed?? The coal industry in the UK????

may be the word extinction is not aimed at human survival but at the mess we are making for everything else on the planet, they reckon extinction rates are currently running at several 1000x higher than what would be expected as normal. Our utter greed and selfishness is slowly but surely wiping out everything else that exists.

Yes, we're certainly going to feck up our own existence, probably due to wars that will ensue as we fight for land and resources, but that will just serve us right. It's everything else that we share the planet with that I feel sad about.

Is it too late, of course not, if we really wanted we could turn this round pretty quick. But sadly that will never happen as it is not in our nature, even myself with my uber green ideals lives a totally unsustainable lifestyle.
 
All. These extinction rebellion / greens ect should put there own lives in order before pontificating to the rest of us

Greta should concentrate on her home country that exports oil and gas

And dispatch there whaling fleet around the world

Credit where credit is due, as per the environment she was well ahead of the game, from a 1988 speech

For generations, we have assumed that the efforts of mankind would leave the fundamental equilibrium of the world's systems and atmosphere stable. But it is possible that with all these enormous changes (population, agricultural, use of fossil fuels) concentrated into such a short period of time, we have unwittingly begun a massive experiment with the system of this planet itself.

if we had sat up and took heed 30 years ago we could have turned this around, and then everyone would just argue it would never of happened. We won't do anything until it is too late, may be when the likes of London need to move to higher ground amidst rising sea levels will we finally wake up and act.

Economic development and prosperity for the people are most governments first priority.
That has never fared well for the natural world. No one wants to live in a cave.
Chop down the trees, convert to farmland to feed the rising population, bulldoze new roads , mining, oil drilling, then make millions of tons of plastic and pollution. And dump it in the ocean.
Many developing countries economies seem to have risen so fast, dealing with the waste never came into the equation.

Standard efficiency probably had a smaller carbon footprint all things considered !!
