Well before Global warming finally destroys the planet, the vast majority of humankind will have already have exterminated one another. Whenever you get too many people jammed into a tight space, especially if they are in a tense-making enviroment, there will be impatience and aggression leading to violence. I thoroughly approve of this situation. It will be the great leveller.
Before the world’s resources are used up there will inevitably be resource wars. Competition for control of fossil fuel resources has aready caused major armed conflict in the last twenty years and this is only the start of an apocalyptic phase.. Good I say. Good bad news for newspapers, better ratings for news TV, More news as entertainment.
The myth that there is enough food and resources to give every single human being a reasonable standard of living is complete hogwash. Even if this were true the life-comforting commodities are not distributed in the right places. We are a fundamentally selfish, unpleasant, self-destructive species. There is basically no hope for us whatsoever. Being delayed in Gatwick airport in the claustrophobic confines of Gate1 with the fellow passengers of Easyjet Fight EZY5069 to Nice, simply reinforces my scepticism.
DO YOU BELIEVE THIS? Don’t you get so irritated with the negativity exhuded by the majority of people who should be so grateful for their sheltered cosy existences? The so-called “Credit Crunch’ is the obsession and creation of predominantly middle class people who stand to pay slightly less on their mortgages, a little more for their electronic gadgets, lose out on a bit of their pensions and maybe find it a little more expensive to retire in France. They may drink less fine wine and In the most extreme of cases even lose their overpaid job and consider a real existence…. Let’s ditch this pathetic melodrama.
Roll on a mega material collapse. Viva humanity. BRING IT ON!

John,I could not agree more.I am filled with glee at the sight of the fat cat`s experiencing discomfort at losing a few bob.Of course,for them , suicide becomes an option when they are down to their last million or so( or they go to LIMBO).How pathetic.But for us poor minnions ,the brotherhood of man may resurface and we can take some interest in our fellow man instead of all those expensive gadgets.
