Hello Birding-Aus People,

I would like to support Alan on this discussion. It is an important topic to the whole world as well as to birders specifically. It involves trying to predict the future which will, of course, always be controversial. In this particular instance the Club of Rome 1972 report The Limits of Growth (12 million copies sold) got it right by asserting that there were limits to how much our economies could grow. They got it wrong in trying to predict exactly which resource would actually be the limiting factor. What seems now to be the limiting factor, the amount of carbon oxide that can be put into the air, was not
considered to be important in 1972.

This forum has many contributors with a wealth of knowledge on environmental matters. I really would not like any of them to feel that they may not contribute for fear of being censored. This is a real debate on real matters. Keep it going!

Cheers,

Jim Smart
East Maitland NSW

Greetings,
I personally enjoy reading a divergence of opinion and interpretation and would 
not like to see these stopped on birding-aus. It is possible to reason 
passionately without loosing reason. There is a wealth of knowledge and wisdom 
held by the members of this forum and I enjoy being able to access it.

Regards,
Alan
