Booms, Busts and Recoveries OK, interesting thoughts. The way I see it though, what makes you even remotely confident it wont happen?? The recovered mammoths in Siberia had partially digested fresh flowers in their mouths when they were frozen on the spot. I believe Grace Z told that story on SI -g- (I'll check in a moment. get ready to move your zillions from one sector to another in an instant -ggg-) /edit yep, here it is... Message 18186020

Kerry, huge swathes of Australia are for sale cheap. They are more or less desert now, but with an Ice Age, the border between desert and vegetation would move inland. New Zealand wouldn't freeze over though we'd get glaciers coming down the mountains to the ocean [where they were only 100 years ago]. We could take 100 million at a squeeze [same as Japan with similar land area]. They'd have to pay me serious money to sell my farm [which I haven't bought yet]. It's an ill wind and a nasty ice age which blows nobody good. I suppose most would head for the Sahara and north Africa which would become a green and pleasant land. The sand in Arabia might turn out to be far more valuable than the oil. Mqurice
