Follow Chinese and stop over breeding

-

I FULLY agree with the writers on the XR and Climate Change in the WMN on September 17.

How right they are. It is overpopula­tion and the petro chemical industry that is causing 90% of our poor old planet’s problems.

Back in around 1975, a senior oil executive informed me that in a few years there would be nothing on the planet that was not made of plastic from the oil industry, and we were going to be very rich.

He was correct. These people who are shouting and screaming about our climate problems, mostly now live in plastic houses, all the products in the houses are made from plastic, they eat food grown in plastic. All the clothes they wear are made of plastic, they brag that they do not iron anything anymore.

No, because all their cloths are made of plastic, and so are their washing machines, so they are dischargin­g plastic partials each day into our water courses, and so into our farm land, and the sea. Which then ends up in all the food that they eat.

They think they are clever not eating meat, they are not – they are just eating plastic. When they get sick then the petro chemical industry then sells them more oil industry products as medication.

When all these products come to the end of their lives they are then burned in huge incinerato­rs, which emit Dioxins and other chemicals from their chimneys, which the EA do not wish to know about. These chemicals land on farmland and are then consumed by us all.

Electric cars are not going to help one bit as they are also mostly made of plastic. The fact that they are silent and cannot be heard while running is exceedingl­y dangerous, for us all.

So the only answer to these problems is to follow the Chinese and stop over-breeding. Before the planet says enough, and gets rid of us all. Or is it already too late?
