Re: Reserves may close

I'm glad my thread has been resurrected again as it shows concern for our ailing wildlife and the situation we have all had a part in creating i.e energy use-carbon emissions-global warming-climate change.
The trouble is getting people to listen, especially governments.They are only concerned with prosperity and a few years time when the world is beyond help, prosperity will mean nothing. I've just read a book called The Long Emergency (sorry, can't think of authors name presently and book is on loan now) which was probably one of the most depressing insights into the future I have ever read.
With all it's scientific evidence and calculations it doesn't look rosy. I
know you shouldn't say that this is definitely what will happen but I wish that governments would try to 'risk assess ' the future and act now.
Building nearly a million new homes in the Thames gateway will devastate the SE and it's wildlife. We can't cope now.
Sorry to go on but I live here and I am seeing this all happen and it's sad.ww
