    The Death Of Planet Earth , BBC 1 , now

    Scary stuff

    The decline of species , the decline of environments , virus growth , climate change

    Experts reckon unless we see massive change , we have had it

    Lots of talk from the world leaders but its all nonsense

    Turn off the lights

    Amazed this hasn't had any replies so far.

    It is scary stuff. Despite being one of the cleverest animals on the planet, mankind has fcked things up very badly.

    Over population in the developing world, and the resultant resources needed to feed and house that population, is the main cause.
    Stopping shagging is the way forward.

    apparently its the west and China most at fault , converting lands into cattle ranches and the deforestation associated with that .

    I thought it was overpopulation but apparently it isn't

    Very powerful programme.

    1 in 8 species facing imminent extinction. Biodiversity eroded. Habitat loss. Predicted Covid-19 type pandemics every 10 years.

    On top of global warming, extreme weather events, loss of ecosystems and the earth's lungs!

    It could have been even harder hitting!

    Since 1970 we have snagged this planet big time

    Much of it down to man's greed and making a profit.

    Yup, and keeping people poor, which contributes hugely towards profit and exploitation. I've always wondered whether a huge worldwide programme that forced countries into lifting people out of poverty, with fantastic health care and Education provision, living standards etc would contribute massively towards improving our chances against the destruction of the planet. Put people in a position where they have the power and intelligence to make informed decisions and counter government policy.

    Without a doubt, but you've got more chance of stopping the earth orbiting the sun by using a toothpick.

    As long as the world's economy depends on "growth" we've had it I'm afraid.

    Absolutely......global warming 9aka now climate change) is the biggest con in history. There IS no global warming since records. There are LESS natural disasters than previous years. How can they say 1 in 8 species facing extinction when they don't even know how many species there are. DO you realise how they gauge that??

    The planet is fine - it has ALWAYS changed over the millennia.

    Only mammals. Insects out number us by a massive factor.

    but that is just it......it has made no discernible difference to the temperature. Over population is the biggest threat. Shortages of food/water/essential minerals. Mind you Earth does seem to adjust its population from time to time by one means or another.....

    Well it's probably not going to be discernible on a million year scale.

    You haven't fully understood climate change, and why this change is different from previous temperature increases.
