And BTW, the worst case scenario is death. That’s going to happen to all of us anyway. The only unanswered part of the question is how.

Yeah, well, unless you think the management is going to improve drastically in the very near future, doncha think we ought to start planning for the worst case scenario there, chief?

You do know that excrement is an energy source don’t you? :roll:

Sounds like a $ocialist, command economic program

Actually, it is because of government, greed and collusion that there is so much shortage in the world. The entire population of the world could be housed in the square footage of Texas with the rest of the world left over for food. This is not about shortages. This about incredibly idiotic management

for more on ‘Climategate’, a veritable gift, that keeps on giving..

“…Even before the Climategate Emails came to light, the problem posed by the Medieval Warm Period to this band was known. “We have to get rid of the Medieval Warm Period” read a pre-Climategate email, circa 1995, as attested to at hearings of the U.S. Senate Committee on Environment & Public Works. But the Climategate transcripts were more extensive and more illuminating — they provided an unvarnished look at the struggles that the climate practitioners underwent before settling on their scientific dogma…”

“…In the end, Briffa and other members of the band overcame their doubts and settled on their dogma. With the help of the United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, the highest climate change authority of all, they published what became the icon of their movement — the hockey stick graph…”

“…Instead, the band members turned to their friends in the media and to the blogosphere, creating a website called RealClimate.org. “The idea is that we working climate scientists should have a place where we can mount a rapid response to supposedly ‘bombshell’ papers that are doing the rounds” in aid of “combating dis-information,” one email explained, referring to criticisms of the hockey stick and anything else suggesting that temperatures today were not the hottest in recorded time. One person in the nine-member Realclimate.org team — U.K. scientist and Green Party activist William Connolley — would take on particularly crucial duties.

Connolley took control of all things climate in the most used information source the world has ever known – Wikipedia. Starting in February 2003, just when opposition to the claims of the band members were beginning to gel, Connolley set to work on the Wikipedia site. He rewrote Wikipedia’s articles on global warming, on the greenhouse effect, on the instrumental temperature record, on the urban heat island, on climate models, on global cooling…”

y mas..

I like the recipe I provided better, that said, I don’t see your point. Are you suggesting some cult mentality applies to rational discussion about our environment?

My point in case you missed, while hastily applying your label to it, is: Some people like to sit around and talk about the ruin of our environment and our world, Others would rather look for new horizons, and leave the debaters to finally come to the settlement that nature imposes.

Sounds like a $ocialist, command economic program (or Soylent Green), to me. At 6 billion+ people, currently, with over 1 billion of them undernourished, I doubt we could eke out enough food for 1 trillion or anywhere close to that number. Never forget: If your grandparents were 20th century Americans, they most likely lived a memorable portion of their lives in hunger, and this is the breadbasket of the world.

Did the study say how the excrement (not to mention dead bodies) generated by these teeming hordes of well-fed people would be handled?
