However, population control will only delay the inevitable end of mankind. Maybe in a million years, or maybe tomorrow, our planet will be hit by a piece of space rubble over a mile in diameter... That's it - end of story - the slate wiped clean.

Add to that mathematical certainty the odds of bio or nuclear war, mutant viruses or bacteria - Or the grand finale of our sun going super nova.

We have no permanent future as long as all our eggs are in one basket - so to speak.

I observe we gave up trying to get another basket in 1969 - 40 years ago.

A final observation - The nations of the earth are speeding trillions of dollars on one enviro issue or another - everything from global warming to saving milk vetch weeds. Folks are so busy tinkering with the stuff of enviro-dogma they fail to realize that it is all for naught when the big one hits. I observe that we have the theoretical means to deflect a rock marked "Destination Earth" - if we detect it early enough. However, only a handful of people are watching the skies and no one is working on a means of deflection.

I find it amazing that people have swallowed the global warming nonsense which, at worst, would be an inconsequential blip compared to the most recent Ice Age. But, they turn a deaf ear and blind eye to, what every scientist on the planet will affirm, is an inevitable - but preventable - earth killing event.

people need to quit spitting out kids like a Playdoh machine and realize that we are destroying the planet with overpopulation.

Population is THE key issue with any problem the earth has: food quantities, pollution, fuel shortage, crime, its ALL tied to population. Less rabbits = less problem. Same for people.

Whoops, I forgot - Enviros hate light bulbs - They want to make candles out of earwax and hemp.

“The key to healing over fished marine populations, the scientists found, is to cut the number of fish taken to somewhat below what's long been considered the maximum sustainable yield.”

Brilliant - How many enviro PHD’s did it take to figure out that catching fewer fish would lead to more fish in the ocean? And, how many millions were spent discovering that little tidbit of the obvious?

Fish and shell fish farms ae the real answer to over fishing - Not closing more areas to fishing, which simply moves more fishermen to the areas that remain open.

I note that, here on the west coast, environmental groups are against “fish farms” - like they are against all forms of human endeavor. It seems full retreat back to the Stone Age is their only strategy.

Remember, going green has gone too far.
