All I see is people getting more and more greedy and playing people to make themselves richer and richer.
Al Gore and others spouted all this 30+ year ago and nowt happened. I also thought Greta had put a ten year threshold on this... about 5 years ago. The reality is even if you believe all this it's being preached to the wrong characters.Are there bigger short term issues?
Unless your a complete climate change denier most scientists seem to accept we are 25-30 years at most away from a complete climate disaster.
Not diminishing cost of living etc… or saying we can in isolation do anything as a country to stop the environmental issues the World is facing, but if/when it does occur everything else will pail into insignificance.
Over crowded Country, being ripped up for more ugly new build houses all over looking each other. Infrastructure can’t cope.
Crime going undetected with laughable consequences for those that do get caught.
Soft as shite we have become, standards have fallen big time.
Done with politics now. No more.

We are a brilliant race. We are apex predators and have conquered the planet.Of the world, human race?
Quite a few challenges...
Global warming and sea levels rising
A growing population placing ever increasing pressure on natural resources that are being destroyed at alarming rates
Species going extinct at alarming rates
the capacity to wipe ourselves out
Fears around AI
To counter that...
We're aware of the challenges is a good start
Technology and science could help bring solutions
We're showing more and more interest in the wellbeing of the natural world
Global birth rates are declining
We're becoming more compassionate as a species
So you feeling optimistic or pessimistic?
I think it could go either way but personally I'm optimistic about the future.
More compassionate my arse. The Romans were not racist for a start. Yet just in the 20th Century we had the Holocaust and Cambodia. Add in Rwanda and Myanmar. However I am pretty optimistic that this shit species we can humanity will destroy itself one way or another and the planet will be a better place with it gone. So overall very optimistic.I think so. If you go back to Roman times, slavery was rife, war was seen as a glorious thing, we used to watch people kill animals and other people for entertainment. Crime and murder was definitely more rife.
Found this a good book on the subject.

Not everyone agrees though.
Your awakening was you being led down the garden path.Since I had the awakening it all made sense. We are being led down the garden path.
The Romans weren't racist as a group status far from it in fact.More compassionate my arse. The Romans were not racist for a start. Yet just in the 20th Century we had the Holocaust and Cambodia.

I left my duds for over two days in the washing machine, after the 60° wash. In this climate, doing them again... I'm on the end of days route. Send in the Terminators
Agreed, honestly these last 3 years, have really taken the joy out of life, and looking towards the next 2 years. i hopeful of miracles at this stage but in the world and in my life, a lottery win etc, no world war, etc.Pessimistic. Life's just shit really.

That's fair enough, as long as you realise the starting pistol was March 2020, thats when it manifedted,the time the garden path was laid.
