Since I'm here, I might as well make a meal of it. I agree, the new guard are giving the old guard a wake up call. Japan is a nation in dramatic transition. The young rich ones have had it great all their lives on the backs of their hard working ancestors. Now they are scoffing Big Macs. They are also failing to breed as the young women want more than to be some geisha for some turkey living in the dark ages. The population is already dropping. Same thing for many other countries despite the crazy greenies who fear overpopulation and pollution. Populations will crash in 50 years. Everywhere. Women will get paid heaps to have children. They'll demand pretty good contracts. They'll charge what the market will bear. House and land prices will drop. Pollution is heading for zero, other than CO2 which contrary to the greenhouse terrorists is actually a GOOD thing. Carbon has been sucked out of the biosphere for hundreds of millions of years and abandoned as coal, limestone, oil, gas, tars. Subduction and volcanoes have done a valiant job at keeping recycling going, but they have fought a losing battle. Now at last, humans have come along and are going to great trouble to recycle the carbon again. Lucky for us we get to do something useful like drive cars while we put it back in the biosphere. Plants love CO2! They fight for it. Sending their canopies up to the sky to get light so they can eat CO2. So if it gets a bit warmer, the tide will rise. Russia will become better. Canada too. The Swedes will have a field day with B-CDMA ruling the world with "CURRENT PRICE IS...." software offering the cheapest prices. People living at sea level will move inland. Our winter will be less cold. Great! With extra CO2 and warmer, crops will be booming. Food prices down. Productivity up. Well, that's a mouthful derived from a Japanese generalization. Anyway, if there is too much CO2, we can squash it and pour it 400 metres underwater where its 1.2 density will keep it liquid and sinking. Dissolving into the ocean. Which also needs CO2 for plant life. Greenies panic more than Qualcomm shareholders. Mqurice PS: Alcoa? Don't they make aluminium [aluminum]? Isn't that in the price doldrums? We make aluminium here. Australia has billions of tonnes of bauxite. Maybe Alcoa was chemicals.
