I have always held that the primary problem facing mankind is overpopulation, and everything else is secondary.

I believe that much of the rhetoric, at this point in time, is being done for political reasons.

I think we should avoid being too cynical and pessimistic, and keep hopeful that science will find a way out of our dilemma. Remember there is no real shortage of non-polluting energy...we just have to find a way to harness it.

I believe some of the solutions to consider worldwide are:

1. Increase our effort to promote birth control

2. Increase our effort to promote education, particularly women

3. Increase our effort to keep and enhance our forests

4. Recycle as much as possible

Remember that whenever the economic shocks to our economy begin to happen, when we have to address the consequences of overspending and placing our faith in renewables, we will need to adapt our thinking and behavior accordingly i.e. become less materialistic and more spiritual, be grateful for what we have, believe that mankind is basically good, and has a higher purpose.

I think its important that we study how societies managed to adapt to change in the past.

just a few ideas from an old guy that lived through the cold war, and face the fact that the world, as we know it, could disappear in an instant.
