Yes Northern Boy you do have some good points but call me a doom and gloom merchant but I think the situation is more serious than we appreciate. With 6 billion on this planet and rising rapidly, things are going to get worse and fast. Out of the 6 billion people on earth a small privaliged percentage (i.e. you and me) have done quite some damage to the planet. What happens when everybody whats to enjoy the cheap airtravel, private cars etc? And who can blame them for wanting what we in the rich west presently enjoy!

My opinion is that we are enjoying quite some party on earth at present. Yes enjoy it while it lasts but it can't last for ever. You talk about the next 100 years but what about the next 1000. I don't know the answer but I have some of the questions

Happy days indeed
