The Labour Party can save time and money - ninky and all those other annoying Labour trolls have been automated:

Anna Raccoon’s Pet Labour Troll is an unthinking robot that generates passionate leftist rants against everything it hates. You can enjoy its tirades on annaraccoon.com, or adopt it for your own website!

As a downtrodden herbivore, I must say I am disgusted!!! George Osborne’s War Against Education must end now!!! I am not IN love with superstition!!!

Now, if only there was a website for those annoying the-end-is-nigh trolls......

Perhaps one that would endlessly regurgitate the same old trite and tired doomer memes, and occasionally send out manic depressive netbots to flood other forums with gloom.

Oh wait:

I wouldn't say the end is high, but within a decade the world will be in the throes of a complete meltdown of what we have come to expect over the last 60-70 years, the early stages of which we are seeing now.

The evidence is overwhelming and only head in the sand types, with arguments such as 'technology will save us' believe differently. Debt, Peak Oil and ever increasing population are converging to give us the 'perfect storm'.

"The power of population is indefinitely greater than the power in the earth to produce subsistence for man".

Heard it all before, the simple facts of the matter are that the planet can only support 2 billion people without the extensive use of cheap fossil fuel fertilizers.

Need proof ?, check out the population curve from the last 10,000 years, a very steady, manageable increase over geological time span, until that is the 1930's, when the population grew 6 fold from 1 billion to over 6 billion within 80 years.

It doesn't take a genius to work out what happened from 1930's onward..... the global oil industry.

But the world has 50 years+ of reserves (as at 2008) without discovering any more.

Plus also large amounts of LNG/coal gas which make very good substitutes to oil for fuel AIUI.

'Peak oil' is a just a story used to scare the children. People love spine-tingling drama. Usually, until they experience the real thing.

We have to hang on to hope though.... even if that's all there is left to do.

It's just as well we really don't know what lies ahead. Man's invention and pioneering spirit will continue to take us forward.

Degenerate

This planet has the capacity to support many times its present population.

Oil, gas, water, arable land, raw materials, etc - all our resource shortages can be overcome as long as we have enough of one thing - energy. We solved that one over 70 years ago when we first split the atom.

Coping with further population growth will mean adapting to changes in lifestyle. There is no incentive to do this whilst we still have cheap oil, enough land to grow our food in conventional farms, etc. When we reach a crunch point, mankind will adapt to survive, and ultimately thrive. That's how it has always been, despite the constant presence of apocalypse nuts eagerly proclaiming impending doom throughout human history.
