Maca mankind will come to an end long before this world ever does so we (mankind) will never see it happen. At a more personal level, two old fucks like you and I most certainly will not see it happen.

You’re correct rushy, I’d be more worried about a hunk of space debris hitting us. We are a very lonely place in the middle of a very very hostile universe, and it doesn’t give a shit about us.
The world right now, is one horrible place

You can include this old fuck here cause i believe ma nature has this shit under control and theres sweet fuck all ....just for you deaf and hard of sight pricks sweet fuck all we can do about it.

.The UN is a bloody joke -FFS theyve got to take out IMF loans to put peacekeepers in the worlds trouble spots and of course controlled by the big five .ruskies ,poms yanks chinese and frogs whose mantra is we owe you billions -however if you dont see/do it our way fuck you we'll default and youre bankrupt-watchh the security council in action all talk about restrictions on russia ,nth korea etc etc and who vetoes these time and time again russia china and their coven arse lickers .same with global warming these bastards pay lips ervice and carry on polluting whilst we get it in the neck daily.
the UN has already admitted the basic formulae for its endless echolalic mantra of global warming is based on faulty math where the dumb pricks doubled an essential factor in their dispshit projections -yes the ones preached so ardently by the imbecilic Shaw and his vegetables,plus that upstart scandinavian bint with the moosh like a slapped spaniels arse but to name a few
. .BTW no member is beholden to UN direction or policy contrary to what the welington woolmops tell us!.
So when i depart this coil Ill probably go up the chimney in a bloody great cloud of smelly smoke hopefully emerging in a cloud shaped like a rigid middle digit ,and Im hoping some of the boys can load a bit of me in a 12g cartridge and let her rip through one of my `12guages over my favourite hunting water.the remainder goes home to my beloved coast hopefully to be emptied into a creek which bears the family name in the locality we put our roots in down 160years ago.
lastly all these bloody so called experts academics fuckwit rulers and activists would be better off if they could given tonights winning lotto numbers -thats of more use to me.

I am be penalised by all the taxes and penalties aimed at me by people who are weak or corrupt or have no logic or suffer illogical fears.
Stop supporting the big polluters, make them stop if you want to have a clean green world!
They won’t, they are driven by dollars, not a green world.
But in the end, climate change will not end this world, mankind’s hate for each other will.

Its pretty easy to be doom and gloom about the rest of the world and I cant do anything about it.. Yes you can, you can choose what you buy.. you want to buy a piece of fruit... bananas from Equador or kiwifruit from NZ, which has the most food miles ?? .. capsicums from Holland, just go without them, bugger all people died from not eating imported capsicum.. Its only a tiny tiny thing BUT you have some power.

Tried, but didn’t make the slightest bit of difference. It might make you feel a bit better but this is the reality.

I’m not doom and gloom, just realistic

Compared to the universe,earth is only the size of a grain of sand.Big rocks might miss us hopefully.

Greetings all,
Well less than 36 hours after my first post there are120 plus. There are nay sayers (plus some I am not quite sure what they are saying) but useful posts as well. As individuals or even a small nation we are not going to solve the climate change problem while most governments are dragging the chain but this does not alter the fact that it is happening. What we can do is adapt. What I mean by this is to take the steps that we can to minimise the effects on us and our families like not building or buying a home in the flood plain. It is our risk and our adaption. Best of luck with it.
Regards Grandpamac.

Without doubt releasing billions of tonnes of stored fossil carbon into the atmosphere must change the ratio of gases present over time.
The biggest problem is acidification of the oceans - CO2 desolves in water forming carbonic acid. Up until now the sea has been a sink for fossil carbon emissions but it is possibly near the point of saturation.
We have had higher levels of atmospheric CO2 before but these were reached gradually, this time perhaps the increase is happening at a rate faster than adaptation can keep pace with ?
As we go up in altitude or south in latitude it is cooler so perhaps living at 500 mtrs asl or shifting to bluff is the answer ?

building on stilts.......lifting existing houses...... allowing people to remove shingle from rivers again,like we did for generations...... allow firewood to be cut from rivers,allow access to cut slash as firewood...... fix our roads or bridges,build more bridges or at least big solid fords that will allow a flood to sweep past (they made a tube like giant firehose,laid across river,the rougher the bottom the better and filled with concrete) scrap this stupid carbon credit idea...scrap pushing electric cars..stop punishing farmers...stop wasting good food producing land ...build public housing in small safe towns..and do so effeciently. promote the building of smaller cheaper safer more insulated homes in small towns,get rid of the red tape and clip the wings of council ticket clippers.... if a person or family want to live in a 20-40foot container,let them as long as they have safe toilet and cooking and cleaning methods..leave them alone.
