No! It's people!
Oh I KNEW that, but it was Clive's idea for some "seaweed" type future plant growth that was the impetus for my posting. I believe in the movie they passed it off as some similar future "crop."
That being said, part of a comment I wrote off today's column in the NY Times by Timothy Egan ties in:
Actually, the best way to reduce GW [global warming] as well as our overall ecological impact on the planet is to reduce the number of humans to a sustainable level, rather than the unlimited growth in numbers that we're currently experiencing. Unlimited cell growth in the human body is called cancer and left unchecked will consume all the resources of the host. Are we any different on the body of the planet? Mind you I'm not calling for any mass eradication of the human population now living, just greater emphasis on and use of birth control so that as the current generations leave, there will be fewer, rather than more humans left behind to tend to the planet. But the only way this transformation is going to happen is to have people start to think on a planetary, rather than individual, family, locale, state, nation level as we do now. For all the "apocalyptic" predictions for 2012, what we really need is a paradigm shift. Even from those who are in denial.
Best,
