How to stop and reverse global warming in one fell swoop

Why does solving Global Warming seem so hard? People are the problem. Too many of us populate the globe. Like Smith says in "The Matrix", we're a virus. And if you read the USA article you know of course that President Bush is the problem.

So, Since we have all the weapons, we have all the power, lets obliterate 3/4 of the surplus population. Pick your poision. Disease, H-Bombs, doesn't matter.

Once all those producers of greenhouse gases are gone and consumers of fossil fuels are terminated we won't have this problem any more. Allow the abandoned areas like china and India to revert back to green.

In 75 years things should get better and people won't have to move to stay cool.

If you have read this far I hope you understand, this is satire. The truth is, the die is cast. The population isn't going to change. Oil is going to be burned. Global warming or whatever is going on is happening. Any effort from this time forward short of a global catastrophe which accomplishes the net result of the above satire is equivalent to each of us trying to empty the ocean a thimble at a time. Even if we all did that full time from now on it won't have any affect.

Should we conserve? Sure. Should we try? OK. But know this. NOTHING short of reducing the worlds consumption and output of methane and other greenhouse gasses by over half in a single blow will have any effect.

Replanting all the stripped forests would help. The USA has only 15% of the forested land it had 200 years ago. And, the rain forests of South America have been flattened to produce that essential commodity SOYBEANS. Much of it by American farmers.

Want to know what's really going to happen? Run the graph on out. Think expodentially.

• Some areas of the world are going to become uninhabitable.
• Energy is going to become expensive then cheap.
• See Las Vegas to understand St. Louis' future climate.

So, my great great great Grandchildren will live north of the 50th parallel on the globe (Canada, Russia, Siberia, Northern Europe, Scandinavia, Greenland). Population will migrate north until temperate is found. And since there is little land mass south of the 50th paralell in the southern hemisphere, other than way south. Chile, Tierra Del Fuego and the Faulklands will experience a land boom.

The equatorial areas will be called New Anti-Antartica. Instead of being massive areas of uninhabitable territory because of cold, the center of the globe will be massive areas of uninhabitable territory because of heat and drought.

And the new open areas of Antartica will become summer homes for the rich who live in winter areas in the north. And Summer sailing regattas on the new Arctic sea will become ESPN's new sports coverage.

I won't live to see all this, and I'm probably wrong. But expodential thinking is so darn much fun.
