Climate Change
and its consequences get more complex the more I think about them.
Half of the fight for Climate change is to maintain the lavish, even wasteful lifestyles of Americans and Europeans, while the rest of world goes on a mad goose chase to achieve the same.
Humans are adaptable. We have come a long way from living in the caves to comfortable centrally heated homes, work places and even smoking quarters. We are survivors - we will deal with climate change just like we evolved to survive everything else that's happened in our history on this planet.
Or at least some of us will anyway. Of course, life won't be same for anyone but we WILL survive - the question is how many of us?
Food, health and shelter isn't available to most of the human population. In countries where the NHS does exist, its future looks bleak. Within a decade, we will be unable provide medical support for everyone. In the most socialist republics, post war promises of food, clothing and shelter for everyone are already diminishing.
And that makes one question is or will climate change be the only threat facing us?
How long can we get our bananas from Costa Rica, coffee from Kenya And water from France? The answer is probably infinitely for a limited population.
There are only so many people our planet can support, we have by no means exploited all its resources but perhaps climate change has now become the limiting factor.
So the fight is not to save the human species but to save developers to automise everything else when the manual labour has sunk in the Bay of Bengal.
And for that, deeply personally, I feel that the fight is just as pointless as nobody really wants to give up their lifestyles...
