As Iceland has started to harpoon the sea mammals, would a concerted boycott of things Icelandic help change minds of a few Zealots on Iceland.

lets face it we all moan about people who have children without having money to raise them... but if no-one was able to make tons of profit out of food, clothing and housing then surely everyone would be better off, jobs would be more evenly paid and everyone would be able to afford what they needed..
anyone agree?

Greed will trigger 'ecosystem collapse'

Tuesday 24 October 2006, 16:15 Makka Time, 13:15 GMT


A large-scale ecosystem collapse within 50 years is likely if current global consumption levels are not cut by half, an environmental group has warned.

The WWF's Living Planet Report, published every other year, said the natural world was being degraded "at a rate unprecedented in human history".

The report, released on Tuesday, showed relentless growth in demand on the earth's capacity to produce clean air, and to provide raw materials, food and energy.

James Leape, WWF's director-general, said: "We are in serious ecological overshoot, consuming resources faster than the earth can replace them. The consequences of this are predictable and dire.

"The cities, power plants and homes we build today will either lock society into damaging over-consumption beyond our lifetimes, or begin to propel this and future generations towards sustainable living."

Energy consumption

Two years ago, the same report based on 2001 data said the world's population was already outstripping the earth's capacity to regenerate resources by just over 20 per cent.

The 2006 edition of the WWF report said that figure had risen to 25 per cent in 2003.

The WWF said carbon dioxide emissions from energy consumption were the fastest growing component of the index in that period, increasing more than ninefold.

A survey of animal life from 1970 to 2003 found that terrestrial species had declined by 31 per cent, freshwater species by 28 per cent and marine species by 27 per cent.

The WWF estimated that even a rapid reversal in consumption habits now would only bring the world back to 1980s levels, when it was already over-consuming, by 2040.
