Time was that we thought the end of oil and Global Warming were something that our children’s children would have to deal with. Quickly this became our children’s problem. (I recall studying under a far-sighted Geography teacher in the 1980’s who told us that the end of North Sea Oil would be our problem.) Now it is our problem. Events are catching up with us. Now we realise that actually it was our parent’s problem – but they didn’t know it - so it is too late to do anything about it for them, but not for us.

Where does this all go? The unthinkable. The unspeakable truth of our over-populated unsustainable World. It is no longer a case of discussing whether it is us, our children or our children’s children. It is now a case of how much do YOU wish to suffer? Do YOU want to grow old slowly and die one day in your sleep? Or would you prefer your retirement to be spent in economic misery wondering where the next meal would come from. And this is YOU. What fate our children?

It is not longer a case of a problem being passed on to our children’s children….

It is a case of our children will never have children. They will be lucky if they do. The problem is not their’s to inherit. They will never be born to inherit it.
