It's worth bearing in mind that the "tipping" events referred to may take hundreds or even thousands of years to actually happen.
It’s interesting that Bruce spent 5 pages suggesting that the boomers were to blame and then posted a link that points out that the young are pretty enthusiastic about a bit of fascism as long as they can get their fix of consumer goods.
Congratulations on missing every point, everywhere, all at once. Both the ones I was making, the ones in the article, and probably even more on top of that.
Must have took some effort.
I'm with Tja. The time for action to avoid all the predicted disasters has passed, if we act now both at global level and as individuals we might be able to ameliorate some of the disasters that are now inevitable.We may even avoid some as yet unforeseen consequences of climate change.
I think there is a way to go yet. Interestingly, population growth is not coming from more babies being born, but better survival rates.
Herbert Kickl, the man tasked with forming a new coalition in Austria, openly advocates the "remigration of uninvited strangers".
It is a momentous chance for Kickl and his party, founded in 1956 by former Nazi officials. By all standards, it represents the far-right's most realistic chance to reach the Austrian Chancellery for the first time since the Second World War.
Even Nigel Farage dares not use crass racist and sinister terminology such as "remigration of uninvited strangers".
I am sure that Nigel Farage is a racist. I am also sure that he moderates his language in public so not appear to be one, it wouldn't go down well with a lot of UK voters.
When was the last time you heard the term "remigration" used by a high profile UK politician?
The neo-nazis who is about to become the next Prime Minister of Austria clearly doesn't feel the same pressure to be more subtle.
