No one is talking about LIMITS. It's as though there are only ten of us on the planet. 400 horsepower cars. Traveling around the planet. New subdivisions.

Why is no one talking about limits? Because they threaten our comfort. That's why.

Yes we need to make stuff ourselves. Chickens, butter, milk, soap, clothing. Things we don't and can't make any more. And not 400 hp cars. In fact, not cars at all. Now that one's really threatening. How dare I say that. My Prius will save the planet. NOT.

In a nutshell, WE WENT TOO FAR. Homo Sapiens, the animal that didn't know when to stop. Well, the planet is telling us to stop. And now we're trying to figure out ways to sustain our lifestyle without killing the planet. Clean coal, nuclear, solar, wind. Forget it! It's time to go backwards. And no one wants that.

The truth is, in 1898 there was a challenge to inventors to come up with a way to create more nitrogen. The prediction was that by 1930 there would be massive starvation due to lack of food. And it was true. But we found a way to make more nitrogen. And we supercharged the soil. And we polluted the waters of the world. And it's so bad now that when it rains in Alaska there is enough fertilizer in the rain that it's equivalent to what wheat farmers use for spring crops. And the ecosystems are changing due to it. It's the other "global warming" that no one is talking about. Nobody even knows about it. Half the nitrogen in your body came out of a factory machine.

We are artificially huge in numbers. What we are doing is WRONG. And we're going to pay for it. It's no different than the economic problem we're in. Keep feeding it, and it'll only crash that much worse.

Whatever. No one's listening.
