Imagine you live in a house where the garage is full of garbage. The living room has leaking water. The mattress is old and it is invaded by fleas. Dead rats descompose in the attic. The kitchen is black because burning and it has an old, dangerous gas stove.
And it happens since decades. But you look to your brilliant bathroom with marble bathtub and high-tech japanese WC. And you think it’s all right.
Global crisis NOW? Let’s be serious, please.
Great thinking.
I think that is quite similar to peak oil, possible, in the near future “development” countries will have problems with the oil wells, but now there are about 2000 million people that can only use biomass as energy source.
