Re: Lost the plot

It is not a question of total deindustrialisation - it is simply a matter of avoiding waste, using all energy more efficiently amd using processes that are not damaging to the environment. It can be done if everyone has the willpower.

If climate change is not part of a natural cycle I see no solution to it, unless we are all prepared to go back to being hunter gatherers...... But the world has become too civilised for that, I think.
