    That's double what we have now, in less than 100 years. The environment can't cope with that stress.

There's a limit, we both can definitely agree on that. I'm pretty certain though, I heard it argued back in the late 1800s early 1900s that the earth couldn't support 1 billion. I think the goalposts move with the development of technology. I think we should continue to develop technology but focus on finding a concrete place to put those goal posts, before we find out how catastrophic that limit might really be.

I agree things are complex and look grim. I really hope we're not too late here.

    The challenges we face are immense, and unprecedented action is needed to tackle them. We don't have that.

I think we're slowly but surely starting to turn that ship around. Ask China.

    windmill

Can I just say that I think windmills are some of the most impressive things to see in person? Pictures don't do their size justice.
