Would You Like

[TWR]

to be living here in the UK in another 30 years time?

[jourdain2]

Unless the 'OUT' vote prevails, I will be happy to die before 30 years time (unlikely anyway, I don't see the point of being abstemious in all things in order to live for a few years in a Care Home).

^^^^ Apres nous le deluge! etc..

With you there jourdain, it's always been my plan to grow old disgracefully.

In 30 years time I'll only have to survive for another12 months get a gift of 2,500 Euros and a letter of congratulations from the president.

[Mamyalynne]

Like many others, if I am still here will be happy to be in the same place.

Have seen many changes in my lifetime and coped,so am sure I can cope with a few more and survive - and yes go whilst wick and alert.

The Earth has been calculated to be able to sustain a maximum population of 10 Billion. We are at over 7 Billion now. At the present rate of population increase the 10 Billion limit may be reached with in 30 years. We will be lucky if the Earth as the whole planet is still habitable in 30 years never mind the UK !

Even the 10 billion limit is only reachable if everyone on the planet is prepared to live at the standard of living that Europe had in the 1950s!
If every one on Earth wanted to live at the standard of living that the USA has today we could only support 2.5 Billion people.
This is NOT about immigration it is about the entire worlds population.
The first thing to go will be water, we are using fresh water at over 3.5 times the level it can be replaced. California in particular and much of the rest of the South of the USA is already in a sever drought
It takes 3.5 times as much land to feed people as with meat as it does to feed them with vegetables and grain, so ALL animals will have to be killed to make way for grain to be grown on the pastures they feed on.
No politician is prepared to even admit that this problem exists, let alone try to do something about it!

Perhaps it won't be a Nuclear Winter that sees us off but pollution from Third World factories and the climate change it will bring.

Yes, though it may take that long to understand one of Peter Pedant's posts ;)
