In line with a policy of bears shitting in woods and popes being catholic the Orange Devilâ„¢ has come out to decry "climate prophets of doom."
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-51189430
Why even bother reporting the reaction of Green activists at Davos
Ofc it gives the BBC an opportunity to infer how the Trumpet is playing the wrong tune with a graph of world temperatures from the 1800's:

Look at that! LOOK AT IT!!! We're all doomed, doomed I tells ya!
But if we have a look a bit further back:

Oh dear, looks like we're hitting the peak before an ice age
Never mind, apparently the world is burning according to Greta which seems to be an extremely poor choice of words for any Australian delegates. Still, need to start the purge somewhere. We need at least 5 billion people gone before the end of 2020 if we're to meet her targets ____________________ Husqvarna Vitpilen 401, Yamaha XSR700, Honda Rebel, Yamaha DT175, Suzuki SV650 (loan) Fazer 600, Keeway Superlight 125, 50cc turd scooter |

Today is interesting on gridwatch, we have about 22GW of wind turbines but they are producing about 3GW
https://www.gridwatch.templar.co.uk/
We are importing more than that from French nuclear.
Gas is doing about 60% of demand.
So you could double the number of turbines and it would still be power cuts without the gas and nuclear base.
They are wanting to do away with home gas boilers and electrify the transport network too.
How is that going to work then.
I see JLR are laying off no doubt Brexit will be blamed but more likely people are thinking if they buy a car now in less than ten years the doomers will have them banned from driving it at least into any built up area. |

You're describing "decimation" the most extreme method of discipline employed by ancient Roman Legions. Intentional? I'm surprised no one's mentioned "The Purge" yet
With regards to population control, only two things are required: a ban on artificial fertilisers (the majority of the nitrogen in your body has been fixed in a chemical plant) and a ban on powered (ICE or electric) agricultural equipment. Take away those two things and half the world population will stave to death.
Give it a generation - see how it goes - and maybe restrict medication to raise the child mortality rate if needed.
Easy stuff, could be done tomorrow! Solves all the problems: reduces green house gasses, increases employment (more farm labourers) just need ~3 billion people to starve to death ____________________ Husqvarna Vitpilen 401, Yamaha XSR700, Honda Rebel, Yamaha DT175, Suzuki SV650 (loan) Fazer 600, Keeway Superlight 125, 50cc turd scooter |

That is what nature is desperately trying to do, look at the the new coronavirus, let nature do it's work, not everyone who catches it will die. Likewise, why are trying to constantly fight famine, cure cancer etc, yes, treat deceses that aren't life limiting, and, do your best to improve the quality of those living with life limiting diseases, but, don't try and cure them, or extend their life. Left to it's own devices, nature will restore a balance ____________________ Beware what photos you upload, or link to on here, especially if you have family members on them |

The number of times members of this Forum have poo-poo'd my doomsday prediction of us returning to a feudal society where the internal combustion engine is no longer available for transport... This is precisely what will happen, and our population will reduce dramatically as the shift takes effect because we will neither grow enough food nor have the foresight to be able to transport what we do grow to urban areas without Eddie Stowbart and his pals.
I predict a lot more shoplifting and babies left on hospital steps before supply meets demand again.
This is precisely why we need MDMA back. He would put the counter argument that technology will save the day and that it is all the fault of darkies. To add gravitas to his view he would also state that I am a snowflake, tree-hugging, gin swilling liberal-commie, woke secret lemonade drinker.... or something along those lines. ____________________ Now - Speed Triple, old ratty GS550, GSXR750M

MDMA thank you for the 'abusive' rating for my last comment. Which bit is untrue and how does this constitute abuse towards your person? ____________________ Now - Speed Triple, old ratty GS550, GSXR750M
