I understand what you are saying about the west being a sort of employer to the third world but i'm talking more about mother earth being able to sustain such growth in processing, the output from our factories goes into our shops and we westerners consume like there's no tomorrow, just look at how much wastage of food went in the bin this christmas for example.Freddie said:While i agree your heart is in the right place Kendor and even agree your points, your argument is so simplistic it becomes farce.
We in the West are the monster that feeds the world economy, without us there would be no world economy, In other words without the demand for goods from the poorer countries then they would have no jobs, no money and go back to living the way they did 100 years ago--maybe that's a good thing i dont know and we should be living like that
Precisely Joe! Oil was one of the resources i was thinking of but also it's the manufacturing processes of other commodities that also wildly consumes the earths resources.joe-90 said:Kendor. The West is built upon the premise that oil is cheap and will last forever. There is a huge wake-up on the horizon.
A western economy can only grow by consuming more oil. When that cheap oil is no more (see the Russian gas thread) then the West will slip into recession and then into a depression that will never end.
The oil age is all but over.
Don't feel sorry for the rest of the world, we will join them in poverty very shortly.

Yes unfortunately you are probably correct in what you say, but until that day do we still have to live like the noble romans whilst others around us die in poverty? today is not too late to at least start to do repairs!Freddie said:I agree totally with Kendor and i agree with Joe, problem is it is already too late and beyond the place where it could be repaired.
How much can be salvaged will depend on when the rot stops as it is China and it's population which will tip us all into the oblivion maybe in my life time but definetly within this centuary, i am afraid the Earth is damaged beyond repair and your lifestyles will change so much very soon that will say now where the good old days

China and other countries will have to do their bit also by controlling their populations but it must be a co-ordinated plan with all countries mucking in together and just hope that you are wrong that we have passed the point of no return.
If you look on the planet geographically then that may be the case but rather than look at land mass to poulation ratio it must be more a factor of world population as a whole?Freddie said:kendor said:Yes unfortunately you are probably correct in what you say, but until that day do we still have to live like the noble romans whilst others around us die in poverty? today is not too late to at least start to do repairs!Freddie said:I agree totally with Kendor and i agree with Joe, problem is it is already too late and beyond the place where it could be repaired.

Ahh you see you have now crossed the line with what you have just said Kendor.
Because no country can have any viable policy on anything if they dont know what the population is now or in 10 years time, so you see any country which is small and overcrowded and has an immigration policy that is completely out of control--then when the poo hits the fan whether it be a fuel crisis or a food crisis or anything, then that country will be devastated with all the worst things happening from civil unrest to complete social breakdown.
A country which knows its population etc will be able to plan and adjust, the UK? on this point a joke.

sounds a clever chap, like all things given time to heal it may pull through but as you say it still may be too late for us.Thermo said:i am afraid the Earth is damaged beyond repair and your lifestyles will change so much very soon that will say now where the good old days
never underestimate nature. Pilinus once said humans were fools to think they could alter the earth. it will recover. we probably wont though!

So although we are taking in some of the influx from other parts of the world we seem to still be able to sustain both ourselves and the influx without too much detriment to our accepted lifestyles in this country but overall looking at the big picture of the entire globe we are not sustaining the human population.
