Welcome to the club, I hope you enjoy being schooled...

Lesson 1 - Overpopulation

- do as the Germans do & replace the plane by a train (Frankfurt to
Munich read Manchester to London)

Welcome, Gas.

I think you are somewhat too optimistic, but I'm sure we'll cure you of that in due course.

Steam_Cannon's lesson is illustrative.

[dunewalker]

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('GASMON', 'B')ig problems looming soon, Oil, Gas, Coal, Nuclear all running out & when its gone, its gone. How long will stock last, with the rise of China & India, who knows, 40, 60, 100 years?. I'll be allright, my children will start to suffer later in life, their children will definetley suffer, and the generation after that ?????????????.

Solutions - VERY DIFFICULT

1. SORT OUT THE WORLDS POLITICIANS, they are NOT engineers, there thick, useless parasites, the lot of them.
2. (Somehow) Drastically cut the perpetual rise in the worlds population.
3. Rebuild immediatley the railway / tramway network, Britain & America once led the way, France, Germany & Japan now do.
4. Curb aviation to long distance only - ban internal & short haul flights - do as the Germans do & replace the plane by a train (Frankfurt to Munich read Manchester to London)
5. Wean ourselves off cars - say 10-20 years, cant be 100% but aim for 50% reduction in cities/large towns - THIS is the way forward. (once public transport is in place)
6. "Free" Electricity for Britain - YES REALLY, we are an island with numerous large river estuaries, we have the one of the worlds highest tidal ranges, build barrages, Morecambe bay, Severn, Solway Firth etc, (& SOD THE WILDLIFE - ITS THEM OR US)

We must ENGINEER our way out of the problems forthcoming, and to do this we need GREAT LEADERSHIP & GREAT ENGINEERS.

Are there any left in the world ?.

Welcome Gasmon.

You are dictating lots of things that you want to happen. You may need to loosen your grip on life a bit. I'm not sure all of those orders are going to happen.

“Humankind has not woven the web of life. We are but one thread within it. Whatever we do to the web, we do to ourselves.” (Chief Seattle) I'm with PStarr on that comment about sodding the wildlife. If you sod them, you sod us.

And I guess I'm more right-brained than I thought. I apparently relate through peoples' avatars more than their written names. I see your post and I think Visionmaster.

Engineers help us to use technology; I'm not seeing much out of them beyond full-speed ahead with using up fossil fuel supply in some way or other. I'm not sure engineers are the answer; at least not the way they are currently educated and brainwashed.

Welcome.

Ditto what everyone else said.

Loosen up your areas of certainty.

I had the same sentiment early on, it's a problem to be solved. People need to wake up. Then I came to the conclusion some problems can't be solved and it's greed and human stupidity that's gotten us into this trap - in short, we're screwed (a common sentiment around here). Then after a lot of thought and research I came to a stronger but more left field conclusion, that we're a essentially a bunch of cattle for a weird species of people running the show from behind the scenes. I don't believe peak oil will be the end of us but rather it will become a huge controlling factor over the population in step with the emergence of world government. Before a significant dieoff happens we will have unexpected technology and solutions begin to emerge along with a big brother of the worst kind. That's what I see happening.

Everyone and everything that lives on this planet is in trouble.
Serious trouble.

Welcome! Good to have another industry engineer on!

If you are in your early 50's as you seem to indicate I would not be so sure that declines will not affect you personally and I am fairly sure that your children will be heavily impacted.

Sod the wildlife, it's them or us....

My guess is it's us. The wildlife are doing it right, we're the fuckin idiots here fucking everything up....

I am walking through a post-apocalyptic England, I come across a random piece of paper with the GASMON's initial entry to PO.com on it.... Sod the wildlife, it's them or us...... have to chuckle.

We've sealed the deal my new optimistic fellow poster..... We are the ones going down, not the wildlife....

Mom's coming round to put it back the way it outta be.....(Tool)

All you doomers obviously haven't read the right self-help-pop-pscho-babble books ($24.99 or less at bookstores near you)

Y'all ain't got the right attitude!

ah, fresh blood!


j/k we can always use new members to challenge the entranched views/opinions. Be prepared to be flamed though and don't let it bother you too much either is my advice.
