[QUOTE="som farmer, post: 7797690, member: 86168"] making us read that, and it's only tuesday. scary stuff, but many do realise that we cannot, as a world, carry on as we are. The unfortunate bit is that this truth has been hijacked by zealots, that create, and shout to much, and are therefore ignored. 'The west' has been in decline for some time, and has sort to control that decline, in several ways, the EU has/is attempting to turn it's self into an isolationist state, to control what comes in, and goes out, keeping a lid on prices, to maintain an 'orderly' society, that is a very short fix, destined to fail, it's citizens don't want it, and l am afraid to say, the UK has hastened the break-up by leaving. For the UK, we are 'leaving' the 'west' and looking towards the 'east', for future trade, which is a smart move, and will slow down our 'demise'. The biggest problem is energy, oil and it's products, are destroying the planet, but the only reliable other source of energy is nuclear. Sun, wind, water and digestors, all have their place, but on sheer quantity, and reliability, they are way of a nuclear plant, which, in it's self, is somewhat unpopular and 'dangerous'. Self sufficiency, is a dream, we rely on trading partners, to keep the 'peace', which the EU is ignoring, isolationist policies have never worked, and usually ended up in a war, the original EU was set up to keepthe peace. So we move into a very uncertain future, probably no one knows quite what will happen, pretty certain there will not be WW3, l don't think that is financially possible, border scraps yes. Climate change, that has to be a global effort, or will fail, new technology is probably the best hope for energy, whether by better use of fuel, or something completely new. In fact, the only constant l can see, is food, everybody needs that, but the range of global product, on the shelves in shops, will no longer be there, pretty well basic food, at a price, that will make the deli counter disappear ! Will that make us farmers into global heroes ? From what l can see, we will be blamed for the lot, rather unfairly, as we can achieve quite obvious help, in both food, and carbon sequestration. To be honest, l don't really worry about that, because, at the end of it all, without us, they cannot survive. However, l very much doubt if we will get rich of it, there are simply to many people living off our backs, and basic food, will have to be at a level, people can afford, so regardless of end price, we are at the bottom of the chain, instead of the top. You never know, we may even see food subsidies creep back in !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! [/QUOTE]
