It's going to be real interesting to see how the planet gets to a point where it's inhabitants come to a mutual agreement that unless we make serious and major changes then we are all screwed... Seems the will is not there yet... But we are getting there...

Look at what happened to human behavior when gas was at $4.00 a gallon and climbing... Lots... That is a good thing... It's going to take these kinds of things ahppening to wake folks up to the fact that things cannot get better if we have this idea that the "good old day" can be returned to like flicking a switch... The good old days are over and the future is going to be a real challenge for Earthlings on a magnitude that we cannot begin to appreciate or fathom...

Yes, population control is part of the equation but only one part... Eating animals is a biggie... Water is a biggie...

Personally, I'd love to be a little younger so I could see just how mankind will come to grips but I think it will put off the hard choices as long as it possibly can... Meanwhile, we'll get a few carbon deals and promises but we really won't see the hard choices in any of our life times...

But no matter... They will come... There is no alternative... Just not soon...
