is that it now game over no chance of POTUS

I don't know where you've got that figure from - but there's no doubt that we're over consuming at an unsustainable rate. World overshoot day is a good example. Last year we'd consumed what the earth could be expected to regenerate in a year by August.

Thinking about it - I'm pretty sure if we used 1% of the world's remaining resources each year we could keep going for the rest of eternity. Although the portions would soon get pretty small. I'd need someone better at maths to confirm or deny that? :-)

My cse maths says that means in 100 years we will be fucked.

I think it got lost in translation. What I meant was if each year we used 1% of whatever resources we had left at the beginning of each year - then mathematically we would be able to do that for eternity. It wouldn't be very pleasant mind! :-)

Infinity and beyond!

 

But, with the population rising; when do we hit the buffers? And, is anyone even thinking about it?

 

As previously noted, this seems far more concerning than global warming

The two go hand in hand really. As global warming starts to take more of a toll then access to resources (especially food) will likely diminish - so your problem is going to get worse.

 

We're not just going to run out of all resources in a hundred years though.

I know that!

 

We'll just find another planet to destroy!

Ignore that, we have to murder countryside and frack all over the shop.

 

Even though our island is the size a US state.

You tree huggers need to give it a rest

 

I'm all for renewables but as long as we are using gas then it should come from underneath our feet rather than Eastern Europe

After 100 years of using 1% of remaining resources each year we would have (almost) 37% left after 100 years, 13.7ish% after 200 years, 5% after 300 years, and less than 1% in 460 years.

God bless you Malcolm :-)

I suppose part of a solution would be folk living in self-sufficient villages/communities throughout the world, never expending/using more than they can create.  Localised trade etc . . . the bronze age, basically!  (which historians regard as a golden age for mankind)

 

It's either that or bye bye; and let's face it no fcuker wants to live like that, or would be prepared to do so.

 

The future does look a bit grim, really and you can see a huge fook off war for patches of farming land in Africa before long.  Japan have been buying farming land there for years now.

 

As a species we're as short sighted as a gibbon

 

And finding another planet is pure fantasy, sadly

We need some friendly alien species to land on Earth and tell us bluntly that we are a bunch of cunts. We might just about do something then. Don't hold your breath.

The Green Party.

Germany are generating up to 85% of their power through renewable sources whilst we are bumbling about struggling to manage 15%

The technology and know how is there its just a case of commiting to the projects

A few days ago solar power contributed 25% of the UK's electricity supply for the first time.

Not going to happen every day, but I'm happy with the way we are going wrt renewables.

 

A two pronged attack needed for me, a reduction in demand with lower usage equipment eg led bulbs.

 

Can see where trump is coming from when he says the agreement is unfair, but it also seems counterproductive. Why don't they go for renewable technology and look to boost that industry.

 

If it goes tits up, and nations end up imposing a co2 tax on american products then that won't help his economy.

Sean Spicer skedaddled ?

We can await his book....

He'll be topped before Christmas

Looking forward to the nice trade deals with the yanks.

Remember tinned chicken with jelly at my Grandma's house in the 60s, it did taste good, don't think iv'e had it since then.

The RH photo looks like one of Gonzo's vids!

 

Bedside lamp on again toneet now I've thought about that.

Marks & Spencer still do it. My lad's favourite butty filler.

Quite right too. The military has never been an equal opportunity organisation. Height restrictions, folk with flat feet, a whole host of reasons why you can be rejected.

 

When you consider the amount of 'beasting' and the like which already goes on in training etc., can you imagine the mayhem a bloke wanting to be a woman or vice versa could cause.

 

There has to be some common sense applied somewhere within this obsession there seems to be on equal opportunity, quota's and the like.

I've got to agree here and I'm totally pro LBGT.

 

But it's just an area of debate we shouldn't be getting in to. We can't be remodelling armed forces to suit particular chosen genders.

 

To me being transgender is a choice. So is joining the forces. Chose one or the other.

 

Plus you can't do an assault course in high heels with your wig keep falling off.
