LIB - I was beginning to think Wendy & I were the only ones believing governments (plural - not just ours) have a role to play in maintaining our planet's resources.Orick said:Agreed.
As for the discussion about there being room for the population, I don't disagree. There is lots of room. The problem comes in trying to maintain a reasonable & healthy life for all those folks. As China and India (not to mention Africa, eventually and others as well) move ahead with their greater demand for all the things we take for granted, and if those feeling unthreatened now were still around, I would expect to hear a different response - some good, some bad, but probably few would still feel the same. If we are lucky, new technologies will save our butts, but we could just as easily be grasshoppers fiddling the summer away.
