The Reid wrote: Following up to Dave Frightens Me I agree, but I think that's a desirable goal. There isn't any reason why human population must perpetually increase. And if it does perpetually increase, eventually everyone will starve under the most dire conditions, since the resources of the planet are finite. I think we'll have a bit of warning. you don't think we are already getting them? Warming, species loss,oil and gas supplies.... Global warming has been going on for thousands of years. Species loss is no greater than any other time in history and is offset by species gain. Oil reserves will last at least another century by which time we can easily have alternate energy sources (if the environmental nuts will allow it, that is). So where is your warning? |

Paris has always been unpleasant in summer months, that's why the locals **** off to somewhere else in the summer months. It has never been unpleasant in the way it is today. The normal high for August and July in Paris is around 24° C. In the past ten years, that normal high has faded into history, and now the highs may reach 38° C. That's a 14° difference, due to global warming. Paris in the summer today has nothing to do with Paris in the summer in the past, and the books you read about Paris are talking about weather that is now just a memory. -- Transpose mxsmanic and gmail to reach me by e-mail. |
