I’m really not sure what your point is here? A capitalist economy grow by increasing consumption of goods, so growth and consumerism go hand in hand. Consumer capitalism is a red herring. Capitalism is capitalism and sure is eggs is eggs striving for continuous growth and increasing the wealth of the 1% is going to destroy the planet or destroy capitalism. And I for one don’t think the wealth hoarding bastards will stop until they end up destroying themselves. But in the meantime they will have lived their best lives so fuck everyone else and fuck the future. They don’t care.
We're fucked.
Same mate I spend an awful lot of time worrying about this for my children. God knows what the world's going to end like towards the end of this century. Just hope the last 80 odd years of relative goods times haven't been a blip.
That generation have it all to do. Cleaning up after the boomers. It may well be an impossible task.
It's not just the boomers, though, it's everyone's responsibility.
Needs major govt action. It's too big for people to solve on their own.
Agreed, but I fear govts only respond to what people want. Environmental policies will be unpopular, I don't see any govt pushing them forward unless people want them.
Its a sad fact that most people don't give a shit until things starting directly affecting them. Climate change will cause untold misery to alot of the developing world before the really bad shit starts here, by then it might be too late.
No mate they use clean coal didn't you know?
