How many times have we heard that before?
Nothing to see here. Just a request for a budget increase to do the work of the Dark Lord.
Higher insurance rates too.
***industrial civilisation will essentially collapse due to catastrophic food shortages, triggered by a combination of climate change, water scarcity, energy crisis, and political instability. ***
This was already predicted to happen back in the 1970s. Forty years later, we are still waiting! The ONLY difference is it was to be precipitated by THE POPULATION BOMB, and THE COMING ICE AGE! which never came.
So subjects of The Crown shouldn't fret over the continuing Islamization of their little shires, eh?
Some English cretins emerge from their dark hovels to predict we’re all gonna die.
Who knew.
"Given the choice between two disasters, they want both."
Don’t even have to read this.
The “solution” is ..... more taxes and government power!
GIGO
Is that before or after New York City is submerged by rising sea water?
First the Bolsheviks were gonna turn us into radioactive ashes.
Thats if the population explosion didn’t do us in because we couldn’t raise enough food for everyone.
Then the ice age that never happened back in the 60’s.
Then eating eggs was gonna kill us all.
Then it was bacon.
Then it was saccharine.
Then was butter waiting to do me in.
Then it was cholesterol from any kind of fat we never heard of.
Then the computers were gonna get confused about what century it is and society would collapse.
And now they say the sun is gonna roast me to a crisp.
Or not.
Too many people educated beyond their intelligence making too many wild eyed claims.
Civilization has already collapsed in placed where big government has subsidized people living a feral lifestyle—Baltimore, Chicago, Filthadelphia, etc.
“New scientific models supported by the British government’s Foreign Office show that if we don’t change course, in less than three decades industrial civilisation will essentially collapse ...”
OR the parameters of civilization will be completely changed as humans naturally adapt with technology. But only IF we are allowed to create and innovate. Not forced into slavery to maintain obsolete systems
30-40 years? You can’t make any sort of prediction like that with how fast technology is changing. One invention thought up by some kid in a garage tomorrow can change all of civilization!
Just more ecospew about effects of Climate Change. To date, there have been no natural or manmade disasters that have not in some way been attributed to “Climate Change.”
Oppressors, gooders and meddlers have finally determined that communism, socialism and fascism do not work solely by themselves on an ideological basis. They need the root cause to implement any semblance of the three. That ‘root’ is Climate Change. Punishment, control, extortion, greed, graft and oppression are all part and parcel of Climate Change. So rabid is that Climate Change religion, its more drastic proponents are willing to kill millions of dissenters and heretics.
Every day, it is a new threat, a new impending disaster, a new end-of-the-world-as-we-know-it cry.
If it isn't an errant asteroid, it is global warming, or the hole in the Ozone, or overpopulation, or starvation or everyone dying from skin cancer due to too much exposure to the Sun.
Time to start eliminating gummit leaches and controllers.
Time to return to God, Ten commandments and sanity.
Time to start putting away weirdoes, commies, agitators, liers and scientwists.
Minor temperature changes mean agricultural belts shift north a a few miles a year. Replace wheat with winter wheat, corn with more cold-tolerate versions.
This is not a disaster, especially when we have drought resistant and cold tolerant strains of almost anything.
Sounds a lot like the "Club of Rome" study...They built a math model back in the sixties that proved civilization was about to collapse, no doubt about it. They had some very impressive graphics that showed the coming crash with precision. The model consisted of a batch of differential equations linked together which accounted for population growth, energy consumption, food production, &c., &c.
Very convincing, totally wrong! I have always said that anybody can draw a graph, the really hard part is making reality follow the line you've drawn on paper.
Now that I've dredged up the old study it's clear that it's the original basis for "Global Warming"! It was a crock then and still remains a crock.

Unfortunately if history is to be a guide, we must assume that the governments response to this crisis, will be too make the crisis even worse.
