Helloow Pericles. Good to see you didn’t drop off the perch afterall!

No, I’m not looking for another debate with you about population growth and all that stuff. We’ve been over it a thillion times.

Just saying howdy, to an old OLO mate. Cheers.

Decreasing? Sez who?
Pericles,
The non-public servants, those who have to perform for a living & who pay the way for too many.

Ever heard of Methane clathrate.

There's enough of that lying around the ocean to fuel us for a few hundred years, if needed.

Others tell us they can produce all the liquid fuel we require with algae. I'll believe it when I see it, but who knows, perhaps they can.

One has to doubt all these alternate energy production technologies, not one of them has done anything but waste public money, making a few smarties very rich.

If anyone has any math which shows any enrichment of the taxpayer from any alternate power system, I'd love to see it. The way I see it is that it has allowed Obama to give billions of public money to his campaign backers, with many other leaders doing the same.

Sorry popnperish, I won't take your word for AGW, just as I won't take anyone else's word.

I tend to evaluate everything I can find, & that tells me you are way wrong. If you have some proof, now's the time to trot it out. If not, please excuse me ignoring your assurances.

Nature bats last. To think otherwise is pathetic.

It takes a while to sink in but I just realised that there is not an economist or demographer amongst the SPP, the SPA or Stop Population Growth Now party (SA.) Plenty of geneticists and IT experts = rabbit counters.

My article above gives some idea of the productive and generative power of the Australian economy. Bona fide environmental groups are right to be concerned about fish stocks and water resources but Kanck's idea of one child families or Tim Flannery's 16 M population in Oz (Future Eaters) is laughable.

No nation in the world would turn on its own people or prospective immigrants or visitors and deny them liberty and natural rights. The SPA are the thin black wedge of eco-fascism.

I'm blowed if I know how the SPA can claim tax deductability when it is a social engineering lobby group. Maybe the Liberals can address that.

'. Humanity exploits these energy sources in exponentially increasing amounts '

yea let the pensioners die of cold or heat. Those evil humans whose lives have improved and lenghtened through the use of coal. Let the thousands fly off to love/talk fests in CopenHagen but deny the average joe blo the same privilege of flying even know he/she pays for it themselves (unlike other leaches). Lets now deny the third world the benefits we have received and talk about 'peak oil'. I was told in school in the 70's that we would be well and truely run out by now. How much propaganda can be produced in one article. Now wonder 'science/religion ' is given such a bad name.
