@JeffC1956 I know things look very bleak, but even "Doomsday" over here has a wee bit of hope that we'll get our shit together collectively and solve the problems we've created. If not, I'll be ready with my pitchfork to express my anguish to the powers that be (though they'll probably be hiding out in their friggin' bunkers. Bunkers do have air supplies, though). So yeah, I'm throwing some ideas out there, so if we do turn the tide, we'll know about some resources I think will be crucial to forming societies that can co-exist with nature -- at least to more of a degree than we do now. (And yes, I think there are too many humans, but that's because the elite needed labor to exploit).
