# Don't worry mate, the Mad Ape (us) hasn't long to go until extinction.
Global warming is merely one aspect of the impact of 6.5 billion human
locusts on the fragile and finite Planet Earth, and we ignore all the
symptoms at our peril.
Capitalist economics aggravates an already bad situation, and if
Britain
thinks it will solve anything by a switch to the Tories, then it had
better
think again - they will only give profit-making a freer hand, with the
rich
getting richer, and poor, poorer, and to hell with the stupid Greenies.
We can't continue to pump tonnes of smoke, gas, steam, etc, into the
atmosphere, and think it won't affect climate, cause erratic weather, and
alter our life-style.
Nature, as distorted by us, will wipe us off the planet, with no
concern
whatever. Population boom, then crash.
Homo Sapiens defunct - only lasted one million years.
By 2050 AD, we'll be decimated, or extinct.
