Quite. The reason cloudless skies in summer over the SE is often a white haze rather than a nice clear blue is because people like recliner think its perfectly ok to fly 7K miles on holiday every few months. He probably thinks the plane works on unicorn **** and moonbeams rather than 100+ tons of kerosene per flight. |

Depends on what route you want to argue the planet should be saved for, the majority of living things that form a stable eco system or one where human beings exist in ever increasing numbers and gradually destroy everything by the demands placed on resources. If couples only had a maximum of 2 kids we wouldn't have a spiralling world population, in fact it would come down a bit. Unfortunately religion and stupidity generally lead to many cultures having far more and its not helped when a one child policies as implemented in China are accused of being anti- feminist or anti-woman or anti-child or some such ******** by clueless campaigners. Those who have not bred can claim that some of the resources that they may using for a generous life style are those that would have been used by subsequent generations of descendants and by not creating any they can use a bit more themselves but overall the use of resources will be a lot less than would have been used by an ever expanding line of descendants. Unfortunately the resources their theoretical descendents may or may not have used in the future are largely irrelevant if the climate predictions are to be believed. Its what these people are using now that matters. |
