They, China, are still Communists so the nuclear plants just might be a
way for them to build up a reserve of Plutonium for you know what.

It may more gradual but I don't like the overall trend. In the long run
the trashing of the plant life to advance things for a few people will
have an effect on the CO2. Remember that plants recycle the CO2 back
into O2 and use the Carbon for growth. Less plants and more CO2.
So here we are not making the CO2 but we are killing the forests that
give us Oxygen. It will be a gradual effect to us, but in terms of what
happens to the planet in it's 4.6 billion years it's is a sudden change.

Not a chance, but possible. Only the politicians have bunkers with years
of food stashed. I always wondered why it was so important to save the
often fat and useless politicians. Would they repopulate the world with
junior politicians?

Watch some educational television once in a while, and they might change
your mind, if that is possible. Why did wooly mammoths and sabre tooth
tigers go extinct about 10,000 years ago?

Most of humanity does not have the resources to survive even one really
bad year, much less 20 too hundreds of years. As I mentioned the
politicians will save themselves first, and that is a sorry state of
affairs.

You have quite a set of rose colored glasses I have to admit.

From one over populated area to another?

OK,
I'll live to 200 and take notes on the way. Most of humanity, in terms
of sheer numbers, lives in pathetically poor areas. 3 or 4 billion would
not survive a global event, even if it took 50 to 100 years to actually
happen. Many countries seem to be on welfare courtesy of the United
States. If we have to cut off our free lunch to save our own country
then others will truly be hurting. We started "Foreign aid" to keep
people away from Communism. We won by bankrupting the USSR but are still
giving poor countries a free ride to some extent.

I'm not bull****ting, I just watch the history channel and the other
educational channels rather than waste my time watching 'Survivor' or
'Big Brother' or some other total waste of time. BBC has done some very
informative work that I would advise you to watch if you can with your
head so for up your ass.

Yeah right, 30 million plus people in California is trivial. And of
course the entire UK is nothing special, just some islands.

That was WHAM in terms of geological time.

Well then I'm flying high as a kite, because I just ate two chocolate
