Oh, I donât know about that, Barry!
Robot lawn-mowing technology is very well advanced, they can cut down at variable levels, and get into any little corners where tender shoots quiver and quake before the silent advance of razor-sharp and merciless blades.
Human-slicing machines to similar design are surely well beyond the design stages in technologically-advanced countries, and are probably being stockpiled in readiness for a much-needed and overdue cull.
They have the advantage of not being destructive of buildings and infrastructure, and could be disguised as buses or delivery vans.
I think your anxiety about doom is premature, because doom-plans are well advanced and coming soon to a place near you!

Its interesting to think about the next installment. !!
So far, I havenât read much that sounds more convincing about the âfutureâ than the report âŚ
âthe potentially âextremely serious outcomesâ of climate-related security threats are often far more probable than conventionally assumed, but almost impossible to quantify because they âfall outside the human experience of the last thousand years.â
On our current trajectory, the report warns, âplanetary and human systems [are] reaching a âpoint of no returnâ by mid-century, in which the prospect of a largely uninhabitable Earth leads to the breakdown of nations and the international orderâ.
Once international âorderâ breaks down, There wonât be much hope of controlling the mass exodus of people who find themselves in already uninhabitable regions. Yes pandemics, massive conflict, like wars between nations but perhaps just protection of âfoundâ or âclaimedâ territory. Imagine if the current tides of escaping refugees, were multiplied by hundreds of thousands? The UN idea, maybe trees could fix it, I like. " 1.7 billion hectares of treeless land around the world where forests would naturally grow and planting programs could thrive, without encroaching on food production or living area"⌠I like to encourage frugal living, back to in touch with the rest of the life of the planet, but see small evidence so far of âhumanityâ making much of a shift, away from materialism. Still âŚhuman life, canât be considered as if âseparateâ from all the rest, so I guess, its best to survive as best you and I can. As humans have always survived through killing fields of gargantuan dimensions. Always a few who make it.

It looks like an error, to me, to say anxiety is premature. Iâm astonished to see almost nobody thinking about any of it except pro scientists, paid for their research.
Iâve talked to people in Japan a few times, about how they survived after Hiroshima, its not at all difficult to picture that scenario in Europe. That was all just a little bit of fuss, compared with potential grief, now.

I wonder if humans just canât bear to think about such shocking changes in their lives.
Well, I recommend, those people get a grip. A disgracefully UNREAL world has been created out of cash and pressure sales.
âYou must keep on⌠keeping on!â
âŚtied hands/feet/body and soul, into this ludicrous scenario of âessential growthâ.
While billions of others, barely survive, way below anyoneâs idea of a BREAD line.
Its destructive bullshit, and sure as eggs will cause everyone on the earth, big trouble, even if it doesnât destroy them âŚall.

I should have been more clear, @anon78757855. My point to Barry was more that he shouldnât worry that a cleansing, purifying, liberating, away-sweeping doom isnât just around the corner.
Versions of âLebensraumâ are on everybodyâs lips: save the Green Belts for aristos and city types to bag game, playing fields for the progeny of the wealthy, gated arbors for the richest, walls to keep out the crims, rapists and kiddie-smugglers.
Letâs have a clean sweep. To paraphrase the man who bequeathed us Cupid Stunt, letâs knock civilisationâs stick away, Bring back âLittle Boyâ!

It is urging the UK environment minister not to do any trade deals with Brazil until the Amazon AND its people are protected

Signing something seems too feeble, of course some Petitions achieve change. I like planting trees best.

Though it is only a small thing it does keep pressure on the government. As well as trees and wildlife being burnt there are also people in the forest.

Thatâs probably a personal taste thing, @almondbiscuit âŚit seems to me to be an important enough issue, for each person to make the choice to do whatever he/she does best and Peter is a semiotics/Gobledegook aficionado.
I donât know about anybody else Catharine but l think your reprimand has been ignored by the naughty boy and girl in the class and, although the subject of this thread is extremely a la mode currently, perhaps it might be time to close it and move on - The Jeanette and Peter back and forth dominates as though they believe our forum is their personal intellectual whirlpool.
I love this forum but the patronising messages recently are just starting to grate a little.
If this upsets other members l apologise but l just had to make this point.
