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.

I'll tell you why! 'Cos many millions upon millions of folk around the world think the same. As far as Greta is concerned, out of the mouths of babes and all that, it's her generation who has most to loose! What an inspirational young girl she is!
There are others who bury their heads of course but the writing is on the 'wall' plain and simple even if they refuse to see it!

So , are we all going to stop towing our caravans or driving our motorhomes to far flung places ,or jump on an airplane to a far off land ??, of course not ! We were all quite happy to use all these plastic things for years ,and now it seems not PC to be seen using them !
only we can change it ,but it seems we don't want to give up the good life

Well I had to do a bit of background reading on Greta Thunberg. She seems a very strong minded and principled individual from what I have gleaned. If a few million more of her generation globally get on board in the same way, there might indeed just be a glimmer of hope.

Posted on 19/04/2019 23:11 by VulcanSo who do you hold responsible for the never-ending, natural process of global warming and cooling (climate change), that occurred in the millions of years preceding the industrial revolution and the invention of the internal combustion engine etc.

Do I assume from your comment that you are sceptical about mankind contributing to Global Warming? Even if you are correct the difference is that we have a far greater understanding of the science behind climate change and it follows that we also have a better understanding of the awaiting catastrophe. It would seem to me that we should at least try and minimise the effect of climate change if we can. It's not something we will get a second chance at? Whether the population at large is prepared for those changes, who knows.

Absolutely correct, the natural rhythms we can do little if anything about but our contribution to polluting our planet's systems with toxic material, discarded plastics and gasses which do effect us and other life we most definitely should. This timely program has, from what I read, woken many from theirs slumbers and is providing that important wake up call and impetus to act.
