The Three Degrees That Prove We're Getting It Wrong

When will I see you, again?
That's what we'll be asking of the 400 million people who the UK Government's senior scientific advisor (not a man known for scare stories) predicts will die because of the environmental catastrophe we are all contributing to.
Britain turned energy-negative today, and is using energy at three times the rate than the world can afford. It happened a couple of years ago in America, where they use 5 times the rate the world can afford.
This continued abuse of the world's fragile resources is contributing to raising world temperatures by three degrees celcius, enough to make barren huge swathes of the world currently farmed and inhabited by some 400 million people.
While capitalists insist that their system is the best way to ration the wealth of the world, it is killing it.
Here are some bizarre examples of capitalism at work, in all its efficient glory.
* The UK imports 465 tons of gingerbread every year.
* The UK exports 460 tons of gingerbread every year.
* The UK imports 3,952 tons of boneless chicken from France every year.
* The UK exports 5,417 tons of boneless chicken to France every year.
There are dozens of more of them.
Milk, flowers, cement, sugar. All of it the same stuff.
Lorries up and down Europe moving identical goods from one place to another. Ships, airlplanes, cars, all moving the same fucking stuff to and fro.
So why?
What fucking idiot would set up a system like this when we don't have the energy to move all this stuff?
It's not quality or manufacture, and it's not because it's seasonal.
It's because we're free to do what we want if we want to export or import. Because trade rules. We rule.
No one cares if we fly the stuff around the world 100 fucking times and fly it to the moon before it gets there. As long as we're free to do it.
And so it goes on.
And on.
And on.
