Re: Treat meat eaters like smokers, says shadow cabinet vegan
 

Wonder if we're doing anything to tackle this instead of attacking meat eaters because if we don't we're all dead

It's going to cause major famine, mass migration (that will make the Syrian problem seem negligible) and of course serious unrest (probably wars).

Then there is also the question of fresh water...

Yes I've long thought we are on the verge of a perfect storm and the recent migration issue in Europe could well be seen in time to be the tipping point although there are plenty of other points of tension around the globe for assorted reasons. When vast numbers of poor and desperate people decide to go on the move and effectively force their way across borders we're in a desperate situation with all sorts of possible ramifications. The planet is too small to sustain the growing population in the manner most people would like and are increasingly willing to fight for. We can add to all that the inevitable cultural/religious tensions which are simmering away all over the place. Whether it's lack of food/water. escaping plague/war and/or just trying to get out of severe poverty, desperate people are starting to do desperate things in large numbers and I can't see any way back from this point.
