But what about GROWTH and PROFITS for the shareholders?!
Yes, this is a global issue. Those growing population zones though are a bomb waiting to go off, they are either going to do things the right way to sustain the population and not just increase pollution, over farm, deforest etc and give their citizens a good standard of life, or they don't do this and they become even more hellish places to live and everyone leaves and the real mass migration to the west occurs.
Population isn't a problem just look at China/India, the problem is (on a world stage at least) the standard of living is too high for a government to manage that sort of population, it needs to grab more and more control over people and make them significantly poorer. You see it in the EU with the wealthier economies subsidising poorer ones and on the world stage with countries giving aid to Africa etc, plus the unlimited movement of people from poverty stricken countries to wealthier countries.
It's either going to end up with everyone being poor with a small elite of super wealthy and a world governmental system that exercises almost total control to manage them, or at some point you need to let nature take its course (sounds cruel I know) in the countries that don't have the means to support their rampantly growing populations even with massive worldwide aid efforts.
What the radical left will usher in is a return to serfdom for the majority of the worlds population which will make Tory austerity look like Christmas everyday, that is where the "climate emergency" drive will ultimately end up.

If, by “radical left” you mean communists; they don’t have a good record on being environmentally friendly.
The Soviets, in particular one Joseph Stalin, were pretty good at reducing their own population mind you.

What are you blathering about now?
To use the cancer/doctor/janitor example used by another poster, I would absolutely take exception with a janitor trying to give me advice about my cancer treatment. I've got a doctor to give me expert advice, I don't need someone who has absolutely no expertise trying to lecture me on the subject. That doesn't mean I refute the fact I have cancer.
I said it again because you referenced it, hence I responded to the point. Do you not understand how conversations work? You cannot accuse me of repeatedly mentioning it when you're pursuing that subject.
But again, your inability to read and understand is the issue here. I didn't originally talk about left wing journalists in the context of climate change facts or evidence, but of Greta Thunberg's relevance to the debate. The point I made is that she has no relevance outside of a bubble of leftist journalists who want to push her front and centre.
The political allegiance of a journalist has no relevance to the facts, but it does have a great deal of relevance as far as their opinions go. Which, if you can read is exactly what I highlighted in bold: I don't care about their OPINIONS. That statement was originally about their views of Greta, but is also true of their opinions on ANY issue.

Let's get back to how it began.
This all started because you did not like being told by a 6 year old what to do as you see a young girl "with no life experience" talking on a podium. The problem isn't her, she doesn't know who you are, we don't know who you are. The problem here is the people having the problem with her (you). I can't do anything for you having a problem hearing what a 12 year old is saying, that is purely down to you.

To the left of Farage would be a start and then to the left of the Tories and the Libdems.
According to the UN it's possible there will be double the number of people on the planet by 2100. Normally this leveling out only happens with more of a middle class, usually a middle class forms from a baby boom. I don't think the world can afford a baby boom to be honest.
I think small scale conflicts and mass migration will be the story of the next 100 years. I feel quite privileged to have lived in this time of relative comfort.
Channel 4 news did a great piece on declining bio diversity last night which is good to see as climate change always seems to get talked about but never the fact that species are dying at unprecedented rates and arable land is disappearing fast.

If we halved emissions that we produce today by that time. We would still be at current emissions standards. Can you imagine 120 million people in the UK in 100 years. Hopefully my children can go to Australia or something!

Her fame won't last that long... People (the media) will soon become bored of her predictions and warnings.

So you would call the Tories and the LibDems "Nazis" then?
Isn't everyone a Nazi now?
The more "obese westerners" give in aid to keep poor people from starving the more those poor people procreate at their current high birth rates and the more aid needs to be given in the future, eventually it will reach a point where westerners are far poorer and less able to give aid and the poor people they were giving aid are no better off either just a lot more numerous.
If we want to help in places like Africa then it's self sustaining infrastructure they need, not handouts. What you're describing is basically world socialism and the end result of that will be that everybody except a tiny few suffers in poverty.

What they need is to first rid themselves of the utter scum that run there countries, then rid themselves of interference from us.

And stop breading like rabbits then spilling out into other countries!

Wasn't there an advert saying "give a man a fish and you'll feed him for a day, teach a man to fish & you feed him for a lifetime" so why are the UK still giving money to many other countries?
