Re: Beijing
Nature was quite able to control the earths population by itself, but we got clever, and interfered with it by inventing medications. Every jab they invent, is another reason for the over population of the world. Maybe China had the right idea after all?

Our views differ yet we still get lectured on his copy and paste sources!
Are you going to start with the snide remarks again ?

Re: Beijing
Scientists say that about 1.1 million years ago the northern hemisphere was so cold, sea temp at only 6 degrees, that most of all living there perished.
For most people the only way they get news on climate or global warming as they love to call it is through the media.
A section of life that relies on a system of shock and horror to sell copy, truth is very often only a very small part of it.
Just off the coast of NZ there is an undersea volcano which according to scientists and records erupts about every 1000 years.
If that is correct then it is some 800 years overdue.
In the good old USA there are plans to build a machine capable of extracting Co2 from the atmosphere!!
But what else may it pull out along with that?
Maybe man is spending too much time and effort into attempting to influence what the planet is capable of.
Over millennium there have been occasions when natural events such as volcanic explosions have put more Co2 and other toxic elements into the atmosphere, far more than man has, yet the planet has survived.
A few years ago a volcano in Iceland went off.
Scientists claim that put more toxic elements into the atmosphere than man could in 100 years.
Happy daze John in Oz.
Life is too short to blend in.
