enthusiastic excitement and use every means at their disposal to hasten
the day, doesn't it?


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.

Ain't gonna happen. People keep on breedin'. Like any other lifeform, will
meet their demise diminishing resources to the point of almost
extermination, if the population doesn't decrease from any other reason.
Don't hold any illusions that mankind is different than any other lifeform
regarding this pattern. In a truly civilized world, it will be women, not
men, that determine the path and outcome for a stabilized population goal.
Most are emmotional and blind horny. Hope I'm wrong...

Hypocrisy. Big SUV, filament lights on all night. You think your neighbor
should be changiing to compact fluorescent light bulbs and driving the
hybrid.
