QUOTE (Turin Machine @ Apr 18 2019, 02:10 PM) As it's BIG! News at the moment here's an interesting report on electric cars. http://www.cesifo-group.de/ifoHome/presse/...08-ElektroautosI would think in time that would change as technology progresses. It’s not a reason to give up.

Our ability to increase life expectancy and limit global conflicts combined with a massive increase in global living standards across the world has resulted in a population explosion. In effect we are victims of our own success. Mother nature will intervene and this may happen through climate change. I am afraid Newres composting and splitting his rubbish into 7 different bins just ain't gonna make a jot of difference.

It's inevitable that Nature will / must intervene.

A sensible solution at last! The reality is that the population expansion is unsustainable and therefore a mass extinction is the only practical outcome. We don't own the planet, even though we like to think we do, it "tolerates" our existence but will have no qualms about wiping us out if it means saving itself. Maybe in a thousand years or maybe next week but it is going to happen.
