for your second last item and for the last one.

The solar wind item is amazing .

My bet is that a pandemic will cut down the numbers before the Hitlerites of the population control movement get their way.

ONE of the biggest paradoxes in human biology is that as societies grow richer, people have fewer children. In most species, such an increase in available resources leads in the opposite reproductive direction. What makes the demographic transition, as this phenomenon is known, even more paradoxical is that in less developed times and places, the rich do not have smaller families than the poor.

Giving women equal rights has lead to the highly intelligent, successful woman to become single all their lives (increasing percentage). Men want to dominate their catch or property as human instincts go. A successful woman denies the men their manhood (king of their domain). Thus, richer the man, the more bountiful their pick from society and the less chance they settle down. Whilst the richer the woman the less they can attract and keep, and the more chance if they settle down, the husband will go for the pretty secretary instead as their money oozes sex appeal.

A fat wallet beats a six pack any day.

This subject is probably more complicated than climate change.

Treekiller,

I was referring to THIS

Your ramble about capitalists/electricity/Africans makes no sense to me.

A media conspiracy combined with current control over agriculture could create famine and the blame would fall on Mother Nature. Luckily the media is our friend.

famine has been used for genocide and control and as a weapon of warfware since agriculture hit the scene. From salting the fields in ancient times to the more modern stalin confiscating the seed stocks in the ukraine, it's the same old same old.

They did the same thing in Ethiopia, actually they (the commies) would forbid stockpiling so when one year was bad the first thing to go was the seed for next years crops (mmm tasty). We got little starving children covered in flies blasted on our TV's for years but were never informed that what happened was avoidable and some suggest, deliberate.

Quick-fix humanitarianism. (Ethiopian famine)

yup, hard to believe that this starving socialist workers paradise used to be a net food exporter. One should be careful calling them commies though because it seems that this may have been simply a ploy on their part to get the world press to lay off since the press bends over backwards to be nice to commies, socialists, and other far leftists. However, as mentioned, it is standard operating procedure for real commies and is also ultimately a natural consequence of that whole ideology.

Now we have the added problem of the disinformation campaign out claiming that capitalism failed and that it cannot be supported without destroying the earth, a la AGW so the slow starvation and mass suffering of socialism is justified and a superior solution for sustained circumstances of priveledge for the few and death for the masses.
