Philip M I'm not going to respond to each tiny point. Not because I don't have answers, but rather I'm tired of responding to every time consuming challenge here only to be dismissed with trite condemnations, accusations of being brainwashed, etc etc. Instead, I'll respond to two. First, if you check, you'll find that I was well aware that the new millennium did not begin til 01_Jan_2001. Second concerns your population-of-Australia-lives-in-Tasmania proposition. Some data -- the mass of the Earth is about 5.98 × 10^24 kg. In 1999, the Earth's population was about 5.978 * 10^9. A representative value for the mass of one member of the population is about 50 kg -- satisfactory for the sake of argument. In 1963 the peak rate of population increase was reached -- it was about 2.2% pa. In 2000 it was estimated to be about about 1.14% pa (about 75 million increase pa), no doubt due to those factors of which you so thoroughly disapprove. Given these figures, it would take about 2702 years for the mass of the population to equal the mass of the Earth. Would you consider this to be over populated? Of course you might point out that it is not possible to convert all the mass of the Earth into people. Well then, how long would you think that -- at the same rate -- it would take until the population of the Earth each had one tenth of a square metre to call its own? That's ten people per square metre over every square metre of the Earth's surface from the poles to the equator, from the top of every mountain and hill down to sea level and the surface of all the oceans, lakes and streams. My calculations say about 1204 years. Would you consider this to be overpopulated? And yes -- whatever is in the water -- that's what I drink. Finally, I'll volunteer this. You keep referring to me as though I only care about Australia. I don't -- I regard myself as a citizen of the world -- a cosmopolitan, and as such, I care about the planet, not just now but for the next five billion years or so. I look forward to (but of course will not see) a world government. If you think about human development, you'll see that there is a net consolidation effect and that the lot of Man has improved as the consolidation process has advanced.

I just noticed Pauls email address.. He may not be a real person... Yahoo addresses are forbidden by many list groups, and some businesses because of the use of it to escape identification.. , However Nevilles Post has brought up the particular posting from Paul which I had saved to answer.. on two counts, a. it needed an answer, and as well Paul, b. you asked me a personal opinion.. Paul, I am not as judgemental of you as much as Neville said, "you are just as blind to all topics now as you were on the day that you joined. What is the point? " Neville I would more likely ask the question, "are you drinking fluoridated water from Melbournes tap supply?" Now to your specifics.. I do not hold out much hope of agreement since you always take the negative scientific view of the media e.g Today our Queensland Premier, a woman, so that excuses her of any blame, said on TV in answer to a recognised University Professor who reported that the use of recycled sewerage into the drinking water was very dangerous... " I'm not going to take any notice of faulty science.... what would he know ... We know etc... " Paul you are very quick to support media and government consensus on controversial scientific matters, and ignore those which "let you down" so to speak.. You go silent.. You have never once acknowledged , nor does the majority of uneducated fools who fell for the scam, that the entire world of Media and popular science, and their followers , argued against allcomers till the bitter end, that the New Millennium year commenced at Jan 1 2000. At enormous cost to everyone had a big party on the wrong day of the wrong year. This despite the fact that the Greenwich Observatory, as well as its counterpart US Naval observatory in the US both quietly reported the truth of the matter throughout the whole fiasco. Only one major media entity in australia, Macca in Australia all over every Sunday ABC continued to berate the fools. See my attachment of the time.. Now these are the same people in whom you expect us to put our faith as regards global warming, still, whilst the theory has collapsed almost 2 years ago as the sun went into a quieter cycle, and the world entered a new cooling phase.. Not unknown to those in whom you put your faith, as they quickly abandoned the direct saying "warming" and replaced it with the buzz of Climate Change, without in any way suppressing the waste and expense of continued talk about carbon reductions , or the erroneous use of the old scare words global warming. A lot of people have those carbon certificates.. hoping to make on the price increase.. I took mine (The bonus for going solar)and sold them immediately ...That makes me greedy, but MOT dishonest enough to lie about the science. And not really greedy.. I paid in my share ... I answer here below in teal Philip M Paul in essence you are saying just in case CO2 will cause global warming, we must pay the enormous cost of stopping or changing our life style.. But the CO2 fiasco was based on really bad science. It denies basic principles, ignored the sun among many other , and supported big business profit innitiatives .. Well we have to change our lifestyle sooner or later -- there are not the resources for all to live as we in Australia live, let alone the profligate life style of USA and those who would emulate them. It might as well be now. And in your opinion, which differs from so MANY others, we should just go on as we have done till now? Yes.. it is my opinion that we should not go on as we are now, that we should all return to a true Christian faith, no birth control, or abortions, every family staying together till death, having large families even up to 10 children if it so happens. That this differs from so MANY has no bearing on the truth of the matter. That MANY disagre with me is for the same reason you do.. You are misinformed, duped, misled, about so much , not only science, but politics, and most of all economics and money...the real controlling factor behind all the suffering you are told to worry about.. I am not denying the suffering all over the world, but it is not due to the factors of overpopulation and the things alledged to follow on from this. It is directly due to the manipulation of politics through the control of money by a few who have a specific agender to fulfill.... An occult agender... You would not be so much against that last phrase if I had said "religion was behind most wars.." Paul, sit down and do your figures.. Take whole the population of Australia, and put them in Tasmania.. Provide the means to mobilise and supply them from that small land .. do you say thay will die? Do your figures man.. Use acres of land... or sq meters... Well my figures are 20 years old.. With all the asians here now, you might need to add in a bit of Victoria.. Provide the means to mobilise and supply them from that small land Eleminate the rest of the world entirely from the equation.. as though it cannot be accessed in any way You tell me why that would be impossible. You should be able to answer all your own objections... if you are not fluoridated entirely. I'll ask you a personal question here if I may -- what is your opinion on the suggestion that we have already '... filled the Earth' and should stop multiplying? I just gave you the answer... but you work out how.. We can never overfill the earth, and we should increase our multiplying just as I said above. EVERY problem in China , just one, (pollution) India (people) is resolvable, in a prosperous way.. You will see this when you have worked on your Tasmanian project above.. I AM ABSOLUTELY RIGHT.. PLEASE DO NOT MAKE ME HAVE TO COME AND DO THE EXERCISE FOR YOU. Some of the more pessimistic assessments of global warming (those involving methane hydrates (see ie http://www.hydrogen.co.uk/h2_now/journal/articles/3_Methane.htm)) suggest the possible extinction of humanity among other species. Are you prepared to stand before the Judgement Seat and plead that you were so sure of yourself that you were prepared for selfish reasons to take the risk of this extinction? Or that you acted as you thought was right in opposing those more prudent regardless of the possible penalties? Answered above, but I repeat.. I do not deny pollution is bad.. But YOU HAVE TO KNOW HOW THAT CAN BE FIXED. You will work it out as above. Have you ever read any books on economic democracy? In any case are you not being a bit free and easy talking about Aussie obligation re pollution whilst the "big brown cloud" currently in the news is from the new asian industrial revolution? Are you prepared to stand before the Judgement Seat and plead that you were so sure of yourself that you were prepared for selfish reasons to take the risk of this extinction? You seem to have gotten it wrong about what concerns the Judge. He will judge harshly those who used birth control to thwart His command to multiply. Even more harshly the murder of abortion. This sort is the selfishness that leads man to extinction, caused of course by the rejection of the Judge Himself. It is rather trite of you Paul to call on the Judge, in whom you do not believe, to judge me.. Please do that important exercise I gave you.. To start with how many square meters of Tasmania will each person get....then how will you organise them to survive.

How do you know that the political view is supported by "most of those qualified to express an opinion," rather than being the view broadcast by those who have access to the media? I don't know. There is no such thing as certainty. But on the balance of probabilities, it is the more reasonable position. No, it has nothing to do with probabilities, but simply where you are putting your faith. 2. Do you accept that what the Sun does is a pretty big part of what nature does and that what we (individually or collectively) do is pretty insignificant in comparison? I accept that the Sun is the dominant factor. I also accept that what Man does is cumulative with the efforts of the Sun. Again, I accept that what we are doing is taking the Sun's energy accumulated in millions of years of vegetation deposition and releasing it in a few short years. It is as though the Sun shone more brightly during this period. This seems a rather desperate attempt to hold your position in the face of scientific evidence. You are too stubborn to reason with, but appear to obtain comfort in having a view presented to you by those who you think should take your responsibility to reason away from you and place on their own shoulders the responsibility of 'educating' you. I fail to understand what you get from a forum like this, since you are just as blind to all topics now as you were on the day that you joined. What is the point?
