Great Book: "The Wizard and the Prophet" by Charles C. Mann A plan for surviving Global Warming and the Population Bomb.

No matter what Trump and the Climate Change Deniers believe, we are headed for some rough times ahead. By the year 2050 it's predicted that there will be 10 billion people alive... how will we feed them all? OR will we control the population by mass starvation? It's also possible to reduce population by endless war... and/or genetically designed diseases... bio-weapons... Hurricanes and wildfires... However, we ought to create a future for ourselves and our children that does not involve creating I dystopian nightmare world. Ya-Think?

This book studies two main plans for preventing disaster... The Wizards believe that we can invent solutions to our problems and The Prophets believe that by changing our lifestyle/behavior we can save our lives. No doubt we need to do both...

Some simple things we can do to prevent eco-disaster. Use Less Electricity [removing the need for coal fired power plants]... Have fewer children [removing the need for over farming the limited land]... and Drive our cars less [ burning less oil and gas that creates air pollution]...
