Remember, if you breathe too much, the CO2 wins

Bringing back National Service for the war against carbon dioxide?

Just thinking through how our society copes with climate change. One way might be to bring back national service.

Why?

1) We need to train a generation of young people how to deal with crises, whether that’s food riots, race riots, or extreme weather. They will have to be physically and mentally tough, resilient and disciplined.
2) In general, we need to instill a war-time discipline into the country if it is going to cope with a drastic reduction in our quality of life.
3) We need a bigger domestic emergency force.
4) We may need a bigger external defence force as well.
