Western world to cut back on pollution, but let the third world do what they want. (Why)
Drink less water, eat less. (Recipe for constipation)
Oh, and give more to the needy. (That's ok, we're already giving out more than we have anyway)
China and Brazil like new cars (Stop that immediately, I can't have one so why should they)

Did like the point about not letting planes crash.
It makes a mess. Adds to pollution.
On the other side though it could be a method of population control.

Also liked the point about unleaded fuel being UK led. Shame it's got more chemicals in it than the old leaded stuff ever had but what the heck.

There was a controversial book a few years back that basically said that as people our form of population control is war. When I'm back from the woods I'll call dad and ask what the book was called.

I think the western world cut back and 3rd world develop is quite an interesting one. Once the 'developed' world is able to produce clean fuels and things like that, the 3rd world will also be wanting the same things, and will thus direct towards a less polution filled way of life.

Drink less water, eat less. (Recipe for constipation). Also a recipe to reduce obesity. But as we are, we do over indulge, and using less water is a pretty simple thing. Steam/mist showers like Bucky F. recommended back in the 60's.

Give more to the needs is based on technology and having a surplus as a result of consuming less ourselves.

With the new cars thing, if someone can afford a new car, why shouldn't they have one? If you had enough money to get a new car and someone said you couldn't have it because someone else on earth couldn't afford one, you'd tell them where to stick it, same as I would haha.

But all points are fairly raised. I think it's the details of the report that need to be examined at a greater depth. The principles are fine, but the actuality and practicality and going to be an issue for us as a nation.
