I am disheartened that in the whole global warming/climate change debate the scenarios presented in the Limits to Growth and its 30-Year Update have been ignored by all but Secretary General Ban Ki-Moon who, in his opening remarks at Copenhagen, said that we do not have even a year to do something because "Nature does not negotiate." http://www.clubofrome.org/docs/confs/meadows_abstract_21_08_04.pdf http://www.mnforsustain.org/meadows_limits_to_growth_30_year_update_2004.htm In my opinion, we have already past the tipping point of doing anything on a global scale to reduce the collapse of life support systems on earth. In their analysis, Meadows, et al, did not consider global warming, global pandemics or global war; therefore, the only explanation of the steep decline in global population is by starvation. That decline will likely solve many of the other causes of global warming/climate change. Not exactly an optimistic future, is it. |

What about all the open air nuclear testing of the 50s? C'mon man do a little bit of background. I'm sure you could distort that too. What about all the gasoline and other petroleum products used by the B-29 Flights to Japan that didn't even land there?
As far as the medical generation of carbon think about what US troops are taught in Basic Training. Don't kill the other guy if you can just wound him. Kill him and his buddies run past him. Wound hinm and you get a much larger group of targets as his friends try to help him. Why not start developing charged weapons that dont ue explosives. Oh That's right you're testing those right now on your own population. Good luck.
