I have seen the future, and I doesn't like it.

Life after the oil crash.
Ok, last time, I went and pinned it on a vid that most people cannot read at work.
So I am letting y'all boot up something you can read quitely when you oght to be working :)

In case you have trouble reading graphs, this one has a Blue Peter style 'talk you through the implications' - complete with original sources, for those who wanna check.

It might seem like I am doom mongering , but I just want to say -
Let's put more into Planned Parenthood, make it optional, but make it a damned sight easier at home and abroad.

Let's have oil rationing, sooner rather than later. Let's also have everything rationed if it's made with oil.

let's try to be civilised about the few resources left and share them out among ourselves.

Let's start reducing consumption , reusing things and recycling more.

let's remember that civilisation as we know it will be over by 2050, if it lasts that long.

Yes. They generally think animals are more important.

[green-man-2010.livejournal.com]

That is a blatent misrepresentation of my Party.

You can either cite your sources, or retract the statement.
Fail to do either and I shall complain to the Mods on this community.

American Greens.

Like, is this someone talking as a Green voter, a Party member or a party spokesperson.

What are they advocating , and how is it likely to end up with people dying as a result? if you can give me a link, I would appreciate it.
However, any quote you want to stick on the American Green Party has to be understood as representing people within that Party. conversations with on correspondent here is demonstrating that the British greens take a different stance on some social issues to our Canadian counterparts - even so, I would like to see where American Greens advocate policies that would lead to people dying.

That was a good one :D

Cite , please?

Of course, the Green Party is concerned about the dramatic drop in Bee population - there is a darned good reason for that. If people did dissappear tommorrow, the plaent , and life on it would continue.

Without Bees , howeveer, pollination would become more difficult - there would be less fruit and veg, and that would lead to less food and many species including ours would experience starvation and population crash.

Farm animals too, come under the green remit. look what happened over Mad Cow Disease. We are what we eat, and if we don't look after our food well, we end up getting all sorts of things in our food chain.

So, while the Greens care for wildlife and foodstock, we are also concerned abou how their welbeing impacts our own.

Unless Gunslinger is prepared to respond to these points, and to the previous ocomment, I am putting in an official complaint. Greens are not killing people.

[abomvubuso.livejournal.com]

What cite? He said smth i deemed a joke so i laffed.

[green-man-2010.livejournal.com]

Er, ok...

[dukexmachismo.livejournal.com]

Provide a cite or I shall complain to the Mods on this community.



Oh.

Bugger.

[green-man-2010.livejournal.com]

Well, he can always retract the claim that Greens want to kill people, of course, that would be easiest.

But, if you make a claim like that , which someone else also thinks is a bit steep, BTW, you better be able to back it up.

[dukexmachismo.livejournal.com]

Or you could simply refute him. That seems like a more productive approach than involving the mods.

[green-man-2010.livejournal.com]

yeah - ok . I will be on it.

[the-rukh.livejournal.com]

That's a pretty heavy claim to be making.
