http://www.itwire.com.au/content/view/11755/1066/ I wonder how credible this study, combined with the "30 years ahead of expectations", is. Any reactions? If it's likely to be true, pretty severe environmental ramifications -- animal life, plant life ... I'm not humanity as a whole has a sufficient grasp of the dependence we have on our environment. I may have mentioned a short time ago (I can't remember) that, re. the odd disappearance of honey bees, a news piece related that Einstein once said that if there were no honey bees at all, world-wide, humans would last 4 years -- pollination being the primary issue. To think human life hangs by such a slender thread as this tiny flying thing is humbling. Julie Krueger
