The reason "why is there no such discuaaion on Indymedias (sic)" is because your assertion is rubbish.

Which item do you consider an assertion?

Good Conservatives said Thatcher sold the Family Silver.
Brown sold off the UK Gold very cheap to 'the market', and continued his inflationary policies.

Perhaps you do not know the implications of Methane coming out of melting bogs? That is happening faster than scientists predicted. Go read up what the global temperature increase will be if that Methane does not burn -just from one bog in Siberia. The increase CO2 from burning it will cause a lower rise - just two degrees higher over the whole world.

That will burn a big hole in the floor of the Stock Market. Unfortunately, almost certainly too late to save Life on the planet.

No Politician or Economist has any policy that faces the problems. It is head in the sand time.

Call Earth First!ers terorists and put them in prison.

It seems clear that as a result of global warming, unbridled capitalism and ecological degradation, there are some serious and unparalled challenges ahead, no question about it.

But what do we do now?

I'd be interested in hearing, what sort of timescale do you attach to the various threats?

Do you think a worldwide global economic slowdown and a decrease in emissions and pollution buys ecosytems and the planetary life-support system extra time or less time?

And does it make it mean the next world war and the next mass exstinction event, particularly for our species, is now further away or closer? When and through what circumstances do people think that will kick off?

"what sort of timescale do you attach to the various threats? "
It could be a sudden switch at any time, maybe five years, maybe hundreds. Expect there to be D notices preventing the publication of well based forecasts showing a mass extinction soon.

"Do you think a worldwide global economic slowdown and a decrease in emissions and pollution buys ecosytems and the planetary life-support system extra time or less time? "
An economic crash that stops the use of fossil fuels MIGHT buy extra time.

"And does it make it mean the next world war and the next mass exstinction event, particularly for our species, is now further away or closer? When and through what circumstances do people think that will kick off? "
If God decides that a nuclear world war could save this Creation from Mass Extinction then maybe the strings will be pulled to start one. Politicians and Economists prevented the Stock Matket Correction in 1987 that would have naturally occurred and might have bought more time for people to realise the threat.. The misuse of Keynes and the criminal irresponsibility of Chief Executives and Bankers was enabled by Reagan to Brown.

But what do we do now?
Educate everyone that there has to be a different form of human society if human life is to survive on this planet. Hope it is the ones who are resistant to mutual aid and cooperation who die, God might sort it out if still exisiting. It is unlikely that God would want to be extinct either unless all those prayers are causing Migraine.
