The Nitrogen Problem

[NeoGreen]

3. The problem I see...

...is not the fact that the population will decline, but by what path will it decline and how much momentum will be induced.

IMHO 4.5 billion is still to many for future generations to sustain in the degraded world they will inherit.

Once the path down the population reduction slope is started what does that world look like and where and how does the decline stop?



Hyperbole with a ring of truth:

In the world I see - you are stalking elk through the damp canyon forests around the ruins of Rockefeller Center. You'll wear leather clothes that will last you the rest of your life. You'll climb the wrist-thick kudzu vines that wrap the Sears Tower. And when you look down, you'll see tiny figures pounding corn, laying strips of venison on the empty car pool lane of some abandoned superhighway.
