Critics, like me, see the glass as 1/4 full, the movement towards rationality is just going too slowly to alter the worst effects of over population and resource shortage in a timely enough manner to avoid major sorrow a few decades hence. It's odd that old guys like me, who certainly won't be around to see the misery, are more pessimistic than younger people, many of whom will still be here.
Perhaps pessimism just comes with age... Policies not Politics ---- Daily Landscape
It's more galling to me to feel the arrogance emanating from some of those 'quoted' by Jerome. To think that to some degree we have to wait on those folks to actually accept reality before things will move forward is the real pain that I feel. And then we have to wait even longer for the clods that they have to convince.
In any case - good graph, nanne - as usual. The population thing is almost in our rear-view mirror in my opinion. Best to keep the energy thing in the headlights, as Jerome has described. paul spencer
