Is there any point in trying anymore?
No one seems bothered in the slightest to address population growth, more people is going to lead to more demand for power resources, more demand for food sources, more mining for minerals, more forests lost to farming, more farm land lost to housing, ever increasing pollution. It’s a never ending cycle of more damage.
Anything you do now will be undone by the extra billion people every few years.
We are the problem and there are too many of us.

you do the math

Very defeatist attitude. We still have time to change. The most recent UN report said that by consuming less meat an individual can make a huge difference over the course of a lifetime. Considering most of the crops in the world are grown to maintain animals for slaughter to satisfy human glutony, you can combat the issues of needing more food and more land needed for farming in one go by reducing or completely cutting out the consumption of meat.

Indeed, we do still have time to change. Being dismissive is screwing the kids and grand kids

:facepalm:

It is responsible for an enormous upswing in fishing.

Not everything is a whaling expedition.
This thread was more a reaction to the warm weather and blue skies of yesterday.

No, you should reduce meat intake so a variety animals don’t go extinct, the Great Barrier Reef doesn’t cease to exist and so the human race might actually be able to survive comfortably. Or you know, don’t. Just be sure to give your kid and grandkids the middle finger whilst you do :thumbsup:

There are plenty of resources in the world if corporations and people were less greedy.

The most curious thing..
What happened to white Christmas's?

Not had one for ages, and seems more likely to snow around Easter these days, if at all.

Has anyone who is still alive today ever experienced snow on Christmas day in Sussex for it to be nostalgic??

Me, In fact twice. We were snowed in for a week over Christmas in Northiam when I was a young nipper and, ironically, again in Northiam, when I was about nine.

Im sure the 100`s of millions of people experiencing hunger on a daily basis love to be told they are greedy gluttons. Whats the view like from the comfort of your first-world kitchen?

Do you honestly think the mass farming of animals for slaughter is done to aid starvation? Or, you know, we could use all that grain we use to feed said animals to feed the starving.

If you took all meat away tomorrow millions and millions would eventually starve,so yes meat helps prevent starvation.

Or, as I previously suggested, we could use all the grains and crops we use to feed said animals to feed millions of people. Our consumption of meat has gone far beyond the realms of staving off starvation. When you have 100s of millions of people starving and yet we prioritise the growing of crops to feed those animals instead of starving millions, there is something seriously wrong with our global society.
