Combustion engines put horses out of work, not people. Electricity put candles and oil lamps out of work,not people. The technology coming our way will make human labor redundant, before Stephen Hawkins died he warned us of it as well as many others. Maybe not in our life time but children born today have a bleak future I am afraid unless they are born into wealth.TJ wrote: ↑September 7, 2019, 2:34 pmRobots and computers eh. Could it be as bad as when combustion engines and electricity were were introduced, throwing untold millions out of work, most businesses ruined and states completely undone . Oh tell me that it isn't so.

Massive amounts of unemployed and governments with no tax revenue to support them. This is a much greater issue for the future.

Our children and children's children will have a easier better life than we had.

The tens of millions of the poor, ignorant, sickly illegals that each year come flooding into the western nations to enjoy all the advantages of free food, education, housing, medical services, clothing, and other will definitely have an easier and better life.

The Indonesian Government will promise a lot, but wait and see what they actually deliver and when.
If you thought corruption was a big issue in Thailand, then try getting something done in their (the Indonesian) system.
Eitherway, the country does not have the funds

That's one small step for a man, one giant leap for mankind.

I'm not worried about the sea level rising and since my home is at 316 meters above sea level, I don't have to worry about it anyways. I think it's just more of the carbon tax scam. It's all about money.
Re: coastal towns will have to be abandoned
Fully agree. The earth's sea levels have been rising and falling for probably over a million years, as the earth tilts on its axis of rotation between 22.1 and 24.5 degrees every 40,000 to 45,000 in its cycle.
