    I Don't think this climate change really matters long term as we'll continue to overpopulate this planet until it reaches critical levels, use up all its resources and then colonise another planet and rape the resources there. We are like a spreading virus and deserve all we get.. haha i'm a happy person lol

    i don't think it's over-population that's the problem - there is enough land and resources, it's just that we in the west use so much of it in detriment of our neighbours.

    over-population is a tool used by the capitalist infrestructure (sp?).

    I wouldn't agree with that entirely, much of the lack of food in certain countries is caused by inept/corrupt governments who prefer to spend their money either on weapons to fight each other or to salt it away in a Swiss bank account.

    The fact that I use a lot of resources in the UK has no bearing on people starving in Zimbabwe - that is solely down to Mr Mugabe and his henchmen.

    an over-hyped pop concert isn't going to make a jot of difference to either of these issues.

    age has made me such a cynic!!
