You know it and I know it, but it will probably never happen. Average
people will just try to block any progress in this genetic engineering
experiment (voluntary of course).

Yeah, tell me about it. We have been sending food for those starving
children for about 40 years now and they grow up and make still more
starving children. Some of the adults who once were starving children
just grow up to be militants toting AK-47's and grenade launchers. If we
didn't have so many bleeding hearts in this country nature could just
take it's course.
It is a lose, lose, lose even worse situation.
Sorry about the 'Reality', but that is what it is.

On the mark. *The North American midwest, and the US as a whole for
that matter is the ONE and ONLY means of keeping alive a World
population that could not support half of current numbers without US
agricultural production.

Many believe that the drought/dustbowl of the 30s was some kind of a
500 year even in which almost no rainfall occured. *Actually most
areas recieved 50% of normal rainfall. *Plenty of rainfall to support
prairy grasses, but not corn or wheat. *Such sever droughts are NOT
500 year events, but occur *regularly every several decades.

A drop of as little as 25% in US food production in one year would
have devasting effects in many regions, and should the drought
continue for 3-5 years as was the case in the 30s, we would see
anarchy in many areas.

CURRENT World populations simply cannot be supported indefinetly, much
less continued growth.

It;s a ticking timebomb.

Bingo, and the big aquifers - like the Ogalalla under the southern
Great Plains - have been drained almost dry too. *We really need to
reel back our numbers, nationally by at least half, and worldwide by
an order of magnitude.

Well, as I said 6.5 billion as too much already. We need to shrink the
population down to maybe 2 billion to live comfortably and only 1
billion to leave in relative luxury.

Advances in science and technology have allow for what for all entents
and purposes is a population that simply cannot be sustained over the
long term. *Mother Nature holds the ultimate trump card.

Unfortunetely for many, your numbers may be quite accurate.

I think an order of magnitude drop - well under a billion - is
probably more like it. *What other large, gluttonous mammal numbers
anywhere near what we humans do?

None. And none have the power to recklessly destroy the planet, but we
sure can thanks to 'technology'.



We could do this in three generations if every couple just had one
child born and then grow to maturity.

Never gonna happen. Catholics, or Christians seem to think they are
ordained to have as many kids as they can. We might get up to the 8
billion mark before we have a catastrophic event, like a super volcano
putting us in the permanent winter for 3 years or so. It has happened
before and many people just starved to death. Yellowstone is a prime
candidate as it is known to be a super volcano. If it erupts It would
not only take out a few stated but the ash in the stratosphere would
give us a 3 or 4 year winter.
Human nature is "Me, Me, and Me", so get ready.

Yellowstone is my favorite place, bar none. May it last unexploded as
least as long as I (and my son) shall live...after that, Kablooey!
