Emilis,
Like gliding, living the low energy, "self sufficient" lifestyle is a
hobby which requires the backing of a high tech, high energy
civilisation in order to be able to indulge in it.

The worrying thing is the long term CO2 trend.
Life on Earth is going to have a problem long before the sun dies or

and below 100ppm in the atmosphere all the plant life dies followed
