We are nowhere near starvation. We have more than ample food to feed the entire planet and will for a very long time into the future. <BR/><BR/>I have no figures for the 2007 population if the earth, but in 2006 it was 6.6 billion. That 6.6 billion would fit nicely, that’s the entire population of the earth, inside the state of Texas and each person would have over a thousand square feet of space to call his, or her, own. Of course, the rest of the world would be quite empty. <BR/><BR/>I don’t know where the rumor that the earth is overpopulated began. it is nowhere near overpopulated. <BR/><BR/>I DO think we ought to forbid building, and living, within one mile of the coastline… the entire coastline of the US. (Dwellings, of course) It is close to impossible to get a homeowner’s policy out here now… because of the hurricanes. But, people continue to build right on the water. It’s crazy!Longstreethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06712980841544338388noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9871253.post-76708133029087564002008-01-07T10:51:00.000-05:002008-01-07T10:51:00.000-05:00I really don't understand why trying to slow down ...I really don't understand why trying to slow down Global Climate Change bothers you so much.

It is a ruse. It is a hoax … quite likely the greatest hoax ever perpetrated on mankind. The climate is in a constant state of cyclical change every second of every minute of every 24 hour day on this planet. It is NATURAL. It happens always and ever. It has since creation… and will ‘til the earth is no more. It is the balance of nature. To think that man has the power to destroy that which God has made, and ordained as our home, is to spit in the face of God. <BR/><BR/>Add to that the fact that the Global Warming /Global Climate Change Movement is NOT about either. It IS about the establishment of a One World Socialist Government… a world where democracy cannot, and will not, exist. <BR/><BR/>And finally, the Global Warming/Global Climate Change Movement is the re-establishment of the oldest Pagan religion on the planet. The worship of nature… over nature’s God. In my opinion, one cannot claim belief in the Global Warming/Global Climate Change Movement and belief in the one, true, God, the Creator of the Heavens and the Earth. It is Blasphemy. It brushes against the unpardonable sin. <BR/><BR/>For those who may have missed it, I would point out that the Global Warming Movement has found it necessary even to change the name of the movement from “Global Warming” to “Global Climate Change” because “global warming” is being discredited (by nature itself!) so widely that the very name has become a liability to the movement. Note that “Global Climate Change” can be ANYTHING the movement says it is, any time the movement says it. <BR/><BR/>… and THAT, kind sir, reflects only SOME of the reasons it bothers me so much!<BR/><BR/>Best regards!<BR/><BR/>LongstreetLongstreethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06712980841544338388noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9871253.post-37156814660948152052008-01-04T14:02:00.000-05:002008-01-04T14:02:00.000-05:00I really don't understand why trying to slow down ...I really don't understand why trying to slow down Global Climate Change bothers you so much.

I have three double light sets, on stands, and one or two clip-ons. I also enjoy the heat from them in the winter. It's 18.4º here this morning.
