Some have theorized that the globe isn't ultimately warming, but stabilizing; that the equatorial temperatures will cool and the pole temperatures will warm. This may result in less available land mass, but a higher percentage of land that we do have will be suitable for farming. Countries like Ethiopia will no longer be desert-ridden and farming will become much easier so that people will not starve to death. Such global changes are necessary, given the increasing population. Imagine that. Less desert at the equator and less ice at the poles means a greener planet overall. It also means that seasons would be less extreme. We may have a growing season that never ends.

I'm sure that with money and secured income in the form of patents as an incentive, some corporation will surely come up with a way to feed us all...for a price. I wonder what those toothpick-like supermodels will do. Dom DeLuise will be around for a long time after food supplies come up short. And if food runs short, I guess I should be happy that I put a little extra weight around the middle. :-D Damaeus <A HREF="http://www.ctrl.org/">www.ctrl.org</A> DECLARATION & DISCLAIMER ========== CTRL is a discussion & informational exchange list.
