    Read Adorno & Horkheimer's "Dialectic of Enlightenment" (1944). The end result of enlightenment (reason) is tech and rational processes that lead us to this mess in the first place. With this process of rationalisation of tech and the speed AI is developing, man will be redundant within 100 years. Robots are so much more efficient.
    Adapting tech for change without giving it little thought will make things worse. We are in deep shit. Sorry for being so pessimistic.

    I think you're right, and I think the recent actions of some governments and businessmen represents a 'land grab', before the shit hits the fan, and to hell with the rest of us.

    Wow

    This is the only forum on the internet with this much respect and ability for people to have discussions.

    PS

    From how relentless you are about this whole thing I can see why your country is in Brexit.

    1) You accuse the website of being a scare website.
    2) MonzoPro asks you to explain why you think it's a scare website.
    3) You go off on a tangent, but don't actually answer the question.
    4) MonzoPro asks you again
    5) You admit that it isn't really a scare website, but refuse to clarify your meaning, other than to suggest there's something illegitimate about the website because reasons.
    6) You then respond with a bizarre non-sequituer about Brexit.

    Someone's at fault here and I'm pretty sure it's not MonzoPro.

  • With this process of rationalisation of tech and the speed AI is developing, man will be redundant within 100 years. Robots are so much more efficient.

    If it makes you feel any better most of the AI stuff is hype. We have huge problems as a species and our civilization may not survive - but the AI apocalypse is not on the near horizon.

  • While I think it's great people want to change their lifestyles and take responsibility for their environmental impact, that won't save us. It needs to happen at a national and global level, with massive institutional change. Quite frankly the main problem is capitalism, and unfortunately I don't see that going away.

    On the positive side after large numbers of people and species have died off, humanity will probably survive as a species living in the ruins and landfills of a mysterious civilization. No iPads though.

    & The only reason I say that website is a scare website is because it's based on what could happen, not something that will happen.

    So you have facts that prove their predictions are wrong? It'd be great to see them, then we can all relax and carry on shitting out polluitants into the sea.

    @BroCoast said:

    Did I ever claim to have such facts?

    Well, they do. Since you're dismissing them I can only assume you have some pretty hefty counter-arguements.

    You made a statement, that the Friends of the Earth website is: "a scare website is because it's based on what could happen, not something that will happen".

    I'm guessing if you really believe that, and their promotion of, for example, 'The IPBES Global biodiversity assessment report' which states “Human actions threaten more species with global extinction now than ever before. Around 1 million species already face extinction, many within decades, unless action is taken to reduce the intensity of drivers of biodiversity loss”, then you have some pretty strong facts to prove otherwise?

    Is this all just a fantasy, in your opinion?

    You're making this into something it isn't.

    Really all I did was express my opinion on some EU environmental policies and you have made this about that website, Brexit and proceeded to make me your enemy.

    But since it must be about that website...

    It's main objective is to use predictions to sway people politically. That does not mean in any way that I believe that any of the material they use is fantasy.

    The problem is you are upset about what I said about that website. You have already made up your mind that I do not care about the environment like you do.

    You’re putting words into my mouth that I didn’t type. You said:

    “Just saying Rohs is actually worse for the environment in some ways...

    Some EU environmental laws are kind of dumb.”

    I’m just interested in hearing some facts to back those statements up, and why you think the Friends of the Earth website is just a ‘scare’ website.

    They say:

    “Friends of the Earth changes the world by changing politics. That means working with politicians - and putting pressure on them - to get them to make decisions that are good for people and the planet. We do this with our supporters across Britain, Europe and the rest of the world.”

    That’s just a mechanism to enact actual change. It’s not a ‘scare’ tactic, just presenting the relevant people with facts.

    You say:

    “That does not mean in any way that I believe that any of the material they use is fantasy.”

    Then it’s not a ‘scare’ website, is it.

    Classic trolling I'm afraid - trashes someone else's comments, refuses to provide any facts to back up their alternative opinion, and then resorts to personal insults.

    Use the ignore button, I see he's started on you too.

  • You're calling me a troll because I don't want to debate with you?

    Childish. You don't care about anything except being "correct" in your mind. Sorry I don't buy into your bullshit, I attempted to be civil but you cannot be.

    Why do climate skeptics congratulate themselves on being such clear-eyed arbiters of the truth? And yet the ignore scientific journals — or are ignorant of their existence — which are unanimous on the effect of potential climate catastrophe.

    Asinine interjections like "I can't really the the media" — what are you talking about? All media? Books, websites, television? Or do you mean Facebook and Twitter? What do you make of the massive floods in the American Midwest? Did you not trust the photos published in The New York Times? Did you not believe the media representation of the devastating, cyclical wildfires in California?

    Your pose is tiresome.

    Here come's the political tirade...

    The media, and in particular those you've mentioned, have discredited themselves pushing false narratives far too often for many of us to take seriously anymore. Never cry wolf, as the saying goes.

    Not denying there's some scary stuff going on in the world. Just saying that the media stirring the pot to get us all agitated and worried about it isn't going to fix the crisis.

    And besides, we ought to just stick to the topic at hand, which is the report posted by the OP. The 18 month doomsday prediction is what triggered my BS alarm bell.

    Yeah, a United Nations report compiled by hundreds of international experts and based on thousands of scientific studies — that does ring the alarm bell for sure....

    Reports are published every year. If you do basic research you'll find hundreds of similar articles, and yes the information is dire. My only point was that unless and until it gets reported as the headliner news item, it's not going to be a priority for the general public, so don't stress yourself about it.

    This report, if you read the article, is categorically different. News media are in a difficult position: how to alert readers/viewers that this is so much more alarming without seeming to cry wolf.

    But I do think that intelligent people agree that action is needed. We all are fantastically privileged — we are not going to be the first to suffer the catastrophic effects of a collapsing food chain or scarcity of drinking water. But those who are displaced — through no fault of their own — will have every right to migrate to safer ground. Which is probably where we all live.

    Being wryly detached isn't going to be a viable response when mass migration begins.

    Agreed. But it’s nothing magical or a change in water supply that will bring disaster. The change will be in demand. The predictions in population growth for Africa this century... makes me lol to see people in this thread calling for the west to stop having kids, we’re not even having enough to replace ourselves.

    It's always good to see the argument backed with most 'lols' to win a debate.

    ... or to put it bluntly, I love to see a well argumented post because it has the power to change my opinion and teach me something. > @BroCoast said:

    Of course I know that, I was living in London last year.

    The sad thing I encountered constantly was perfectly good social gatherings destroyed by people who could not resist baiting others into political discussion purely to tell them they were wrong.

    Just like Monzo Pro forcing a website on me then relentlessly demanding "facts" from me because I think it's a scare website. Is it not acceptable to voice an opinion and not have to justify it to someone who already has the wrong idea about you?

    I am glad I live back in Australia where I can voice my opinion without having some soggy fuck berating me for it.

    I encourage every UK resident to put me on ignore if you don't like what I say. Or Michael can simply hit my off switch if that would give you people satisfaction.

    I don't see the need for that.

    You can go back to page 1 and see how I tried to avoid upsetting Monzopro. I said it wasn't a good idea and that he would get upset. Here we are and he is upset & also a tough guy apparently. Like I said use the ignore, which Monzo seems to be struggling to do.

    I wasn't upset, but when instead of using facts to back up your dismissal of what I posted (you started this debate, remember) you resorted to personal abuse - then I'm going to get offended and react appropriately.

    Classic trolling. You post something you know will offend, the person reacts, you call them out for reacting.

    If you don't want a reaction, don't push for one.

    OMG what started as something decent is becoming polarized again. I don't see the need for this. I assume that everybody agrees about the environmental issues debated here. The only thing is that people have different opinions about how to solve or even can they be solved in a world where individual humans put themselves first and above all others. And to Brexit or not. Most people on this list still live in democracies and when the peoples vote swings a way you don't like, deal with it and accept it. Otherwise we fall into dictatorships like Nazi Germany or Communist Russia. Maybe a nice thing to know for everybody on this list, the term avant garde was used by old dear Lenin to describe a group of revolutionary experts that know what's the best for everybody and people that didn't obey were deported. We saw the final results of that in the Gulags. I get the idea the there are especially quite a few young people that have the same ideas and think they know everything better without learning from history.

Now a tiny bit of snow falls and it's chaos, especially on the roads, people abandon cars more often, which in the city and shallow snow is strange.

    If there is an AI Apocalypse, it will look like the Robots have come to the logical conclusion that the Humans suck and have to go.
    But as usual, there will be the “man behind the curtain” remote controlling the whole thing, killing off the global population, starting with the poorest. When they have lowered the population sufficiently, they will stage a victory over the evil Robots and presents themselves as the Saviors of the Human Race.

    I believe that when you examine the true agenda of the powers behind man-made global climate change, what you find is a spirit of divisiveness. They do not actually care which side you take personally, only that the two sides remain relatively equal in numbers to each other, so that what we do, is to spend all of our time and energy arguing with each other, as opposed to exposing their true agendas, which is to eventually have total control over everything that we believe and think, and ultimately, what we can do. The same thing can be said of the political landscape as well. Both sides, right and left, have in numbers, remained relatively equal. The purpose of which, is to keep us arguing with each other, rather than focusing on their true agenda, which again, is to ultimately control everything that we can do, say, and think. They want a central one world power, and one world religion, and to control all aspects of both.

    Had a discussion a few years ago about the same subject with some friends with children (I don't have children yet). So childhood memories of hot summer and cold winters with a lot of snow while today it hardly seems to happen anymore. Wring the showed amongst other pictures of their children playing in snow and bathing. The conclusion was that if you are young you experience everything so much more intense because all these things are new. If you grow older time looks to go faster and the times that there is for example snow for a few weeks feels like it hardly was winter. We even got into weather statistics and yes also in my youth you had this kind of winters and summers more often than you think. The big difference is that ther was in the past no internet, no ready to access data to point to this things.

    Yeah. Let the majority decide things they aren’t qualified to (myself included) based on promises that were lies...and then no one in charge having a clue how to make things happen without repercussions which were never advertised/known during the voting process...but let’s do it anyway cos we said we would!! that makes great sense ;) Democracy isn’t perfect... Don’t have to be young and/or idealistic to see that ;)

    Let’s not make this a Brexit thread tho :)

    Politics has always been about Power, Corruption & Lies (like that title of the first New Order album). The problem is in my eyes that there's not really a better sytem than democracy although it has it's flaws.
