Don't forget to blame live-stock for releasing too much methane, another greenhouse gas. Oh, but hang-on, we only grow so many of them so that we can eat them.

It's gonna be interesting to see what happens in the next 50 or so years. I suspect the sustainable countries are going to thrive (economically and socially), maybe not because they are sustainable, but because they give-a-[censored] and become popular trading partners.

Only one solution in my books, reduce populations over time. It's the only thing I "sort-of" agree with Maugan about, HAVE LESS KIDS!

PS. And yes, LED's sound like a very good idea, last for ages and use very little power. Skip the bloody mercury laced fluros.
