This I understand. The thought of the North Atlantic Conveyor collapsing gives me nightmares.
However, the issue I mentioned above is the one I wanted to discuss, and is also of great concern. There is no plan and with the cost of green transportation, I don't see how it can be overcome. There is too much disinformation and no political will to address the issue. What we do get seems to be either downloading the problem to the end user, or out and out green-washing of varying degrees. Hell instead of trying to address the problem, the powers that be just want to be able to move the problem somewhere else and hide it. Making homelessness basically a crime and lumping all homeless into the drunk / druggie camp does no-one any favours especially the working / living in their vehicles homeless. What is next - workhouses?
We have political masters that are either ineffective, don't believe or just give lip service to the issues. The money people, just download the problem onto the end user the same way they did with phasing out glass and making everything plastic and snowing everybody with recycling that can't be done economically so it ends up in other countries or landfill. But it is the consumers fault. As long as they make money and can claim carbon offsets or some other form of green-washing they are happy to continue on as before. The entire system is fucked and starting to teeter. Our society is build on a house of cards in a windy courtyard. Society is more stratified now than at any other time. The people at the bottom don't have the ability and the people at the top don't care.
