So what do you think should happen to you if and when you become too frail or ill to look after yourself?

2000 dead in Iran protests is not a lot of people - even 20 thousand wouldn't have been many.

China killed about 30 million from starvation as they forced peasants to stop working in the fields and start working in mines and industrial production. 1959 -1961. 

Those 30 million dead over 3 years is the price they paid for what is now quite a prosperous country, teething problems. They didn't know how to switch from privately grown food at first, collectivisation was not thought out properly.

Iran may well change from a dictatorship, but China still isn't a democracy and they are doing great.

China's target for net zero is 2060 and India’s 2070. And India has no plan at present to wean themselves off coal!

Yeah, but why should we bother ourselves, we'll be dead by the time the world is proper fckd, or nearly dead anyway. Let the kids work it out. If China are burning coal then we, as a nation should lower ourselves to the bottom of the barrel to match them. Screw the descendants.

 

 

Or... we can show ourselves to be the world leaders of our imagination, take the mix of climate changes, dwindling oil supplies and children and be the best we can be to leave them an inheritance worth living in.

 

But where is the fun in that when we can slate the country we live in at every opportunity, grass is always greener, here is never good enough.
