When pondering upon the likely future of our poor beleaguered planet,
I like to look at the wider picture. Climate change is only one of a number
of factors involved in future living conditions, some are physical threats,
and some are more psychological, or perhaps better described as emotional;
our happiness quotient if you like.
Listed in no particular order of importance.
Over population.[Humanity, probably the worst biological entity to have arisen on this planet].
Climate change [ future effects guessed at at this stage].
Mass immigration [ numbers great enough to eventually thoroughly dilute the original culture and way of life of the receiving countries]. Already well under way in the U.K. In so many ways not the country I was brought up in; I would hate to live there now.
Artificial intelligence [potential threat]
Robots [putting ever increasing numbers of people out of work,
with nothing else in the offing to occupy their time or provide income.
Social media[ my pet hate. Cyber bullying and occasional consequent
suicides, kids sitting next to each other and texting each other, or
"look at this wonderful picture of what I cooked for dinner", who gives
a ---- what he/she [ see I'm not sexist] cooked?
46% of workers today are casual, hence the stress for many of them
of job insecurity, no sick leave etc:
Political correctness foisted upon us by people with nothing better to do
with their lives [this is changing our society much more than many people realise, what with Universities pushing this rubbish; becoming a bit of
a police state.
There are more factors, but I won't bore you with any more; I've had my
octogenarian's rant. Happy future youngsters.
