This TV program views tonight and is presented by David Attenborough. A very serious subject by all accounts and possibly one we should all watch. I guess much of that discussed will impact seriously on the future of the pastime we currently and collectively enjoy.

As much as the threat to life is paramount there will be a cost to everyone, fossil fuel use will be attacked. The bigger users will be the bigger payers. It’s a standard Govt ‘goto’.

Wow, what an incredibly powerful documentary. By far the most honest and factual wake up call for us all in my opinion. What an inspirational young lady Greta Thunberg is, every school child of her age on our planet should be made to watch this program. Now, what technologies will result and how should our pastime evolve to reduce the impacts depicted?

There’s only one surefire way of our world not suffering catastrophic gradual meltdown, and that is population reduction. It will take something on the scale of The Black Death that occurred in the 14th century to alter the eco system, and that’s only if science fails to find a way of combating natural risks to humanity. The simple fact is that globally humans are reproducing at a far greater rate, living longer lives, and experiencing levels of lifestyle that impact far more in terms of food requirements, ease of living, wanting to travel more. At some point, the unsustainability will tumble over into another World War, whole  communities wiped out. 

Eating less of certain food types, keeping warm in more natural ways, travelling less, reusing and recycling goods for longer, all good stuff, but mere tinkering at the edges sadly. I like Emma Thompson, but jetting in from LA to take part in a Climate Change protest has left me a touch puzzled.🤔

Whilst the Attenborough programme was cause for serious concern, I found the message of the film that followed, "The Age of Stupid" with the late Pete Postlethwaite had far more impact.

don't normally post here and haven't seen the documentary but you have stated my view pretty well exactly...

we are vastly overpopulated and it's increasing exponentially but draconian methods to change this will breach the Human Rights Act(s).

didnt China try something like limiting births within a family and then, lo and behold, the birth rate slowed and this was seen as the catalyst to change it back....odd, when it seemed to be working.

families (the world over) seem to keep having more and more children without the resources to support them.

natural disasters seem to be increasing proportionately to the increasing number of people but even these (horrible things) can't square the circle...

Black Death II (the revengewink) will arrive at some point, as you say.

I am interested to know how you have come to the conclusion that this program was "By far the most honest and factual", especially coming from the BBC and why you would advocate subjecting any child to a fanatic like Greta Thunberg.
