Well, if there really are "vast amounts", then there's no argument there, Swimfeeder. But who's going to be first?
Seems to me that if we don't stop intoxicating our air, we'll die out completely or revert to prehistoric population numbers.
But if we
do stop intoxicating our air, we'll have to give up all the mod cons of our techno/entertainment/mobile/etc society...
... which will be just like being in prehistoric times anyway..
But to repeat; who's going to stop first? Who's going to volunteer to reverse the modernising process that keeps all their citizens fat and happy and content? Even in the western societies, I don't think people are
quite stupified enough, (yet), to roll over for that.
Face it; we're stuffed. It was a nice run, from protozoa to super-athlete, but it's over now.
