A moral obligation to sustainably industrialise the world

The era of hunting around for natural resources such as mineral resources, fossil fuels and gems such as diamond & gold need to be conscripted in history

Sustainable self-sufficiency is not so improbable if organisations such as the UN, IMF and others can get their acts together for once. Solar power, wind farms and other amply available forms of sustainable energy can drag continents such as Africa and South America out of darkness.

Huge swathes of Africa can benefit from mechanised agriculture but of course, conflicts will need to end first and western countries (developed nations) will need to enact laws that will make it totally impossible for funds embezzled by corrupt leaders in developing countries to make its way to banks in developed countries. Before corruption can be eradicated at least if the embezzled funds are forced to remain in those countries, the embezzlers can invest those funds locally.

To have half the world in dire need of portable water and food in 2020 is a global embarrassment or should be!

We put man on the moon several decades back and I was reading about the $billions SpaceX and others are currently spending to attempt commercialising space travel, something Richard Branson and Virgin also explored for years, expending $billions. Whereas, here on earth, we still see TV commercials showing kids in Africa, Asia and South America foraging for food and walking miles to get often disease-ridden water to drink. I know appealing to humanity is a waste of my time as nobody is going to listen, but surely, we have the resources to address these issues and to get the world on a slightly more equal footing

You go on Caribbean holidays and witness entire nations at the mercy of tourism and one can only imagine what the impact of the ongoing Covid-19 travel restrictions will be on those countries. Entire populations living in seasonal servitude, when industrialisation could open up alternative prospects and opportunities for them to become less reliant on tourism

Very complex world we live in!!
