I am glad that unlike a sailing site I frequent we can vent on this site on things political even if it is off topic. In OZ with have a minority Green representation in our parliaments and a bunch of dreamers they are, plus some other fringe dwellers. Because the two major parties rely on these idiot minorities to form a government, so when they say jump the party in power asks, how high?
I have no doubt about Climate Change. Eleven thousand years ago world population is estimated at five million, now just under eight billion and growing. The planet cannot sustain all of the eight billion in reasonable circumstances let alone the estimated twelve billion forecast. Oh for the days when the sun never set on the British Empire, IMO we are entering an era when an asian nation will be in that position and maybe sooner than most people think. When I was in China in 1997 it was a big deal they were heading for a population to top a billion, today 1.4 billion.
