Yes, it's interesting, Carol. I don't have any final opinion on it, I'm just watching it with curiosity (have been for some time now) and wondering about it. One thing for sure, the human population has grown too large on this planet and it's leading to a reckoning, as is our reliance on fossil fuels and our reckless use of energy. I would be very surprised if we do not face major social disruptions in the next 20 years, even if the climate doesn't change radically. We are simply going to run short of arable land, fresh water, and energy....barring some extraordinary change in energy-providing technology in the last case.

People are going to find out that money doesn't solve everthing. They are also going to find out that "size does matter", in that Nature is bigger and stronger than human civilization and all its gadgets.

The planet has a way of restoring balance when things get out of hand.

I don't look forward to it, and I worry for the young people who are going to be here when it happens. If I turn out to be quite long-lived, I will be here too when it happens. Tough times.
