I wasn't just referring to H sapiens. Any massive increase in the population of a species is likely to contain the seeds of its own crash, from resource shortage of one sort or another, usually. I guess I'd predict a series of local collapses due to water or food shortage, with the concomitant risk of resource wars escalating eventually to a nuclear exchange, at which point we can stop worrying about global warming... -- All the best Bruce Go steady, but keep going. ------------------------------------ Yahoo!
