We appreciate you volunteering. Everyone else says, they're
booked up and can't get away. Take a chair, we'll be right with you.
Just don't get grumpy when you find out that 6 billion people (2050) is
sustainable, for awhile. It's just the inequitable distribution of
wealth that is the problem. For example, here in the U. S. of A.,
we consume 25% of the world's energy but we only represent 10% of the
worlds population. Of course that means that we are also
responsible for 25% of the "global warming".

Industrialized countries (France, Germany, ect.) are showing
negative population growth. If we can get everybody to a comfort
zone, it looks like the plant's population could return to
sustainable levels.
