I worked it into my story just fine. As I liken the snowshoe hare population cycle with this current industrial population explosion. The dynamics are likely to be the same or very, very similiar. This shook JMG to the very core. In debating this point, JMG could only solidify this position of the agruement.....<BR/><BR/>My strong points are Natural Science and Population Dynamics...<BR/><BR/>As I attacked Carolyn Baker's peak oil scenario, this past winter and came forth with my,"Royal Flush in Spades", JMG, has come forth with "Adams Story". Baker's article was featured over at "Adapatation", however, she has since pulled this article, I can find it nowhere. What an idiot I was to condemm this!!! Now, it is lost and nobody can learn from it!!<BR/><BR/>Back to Chefurka's, "World Oil Production 1900-2080. Remeber John relating this to readers, that oil production would be virtually the same in 2020 as in 1980? Or 2040 as 1960? Now this is assuming a whole lot....<BR/><BR/>That is the difference, between my agruement and just about everyone else's......I do not project anything beyond, the die-off. As I was educated, to never attempt to do.....Only what leads up to it...The focus of my education was perhaps 5% of what might lead to die-off, 50% how to recongize it, 45% how to survive it....<BR/><BR/>Think about this will you farfetched? Why was it so important for my instuctors to focus 50% on what this die-off might look like?<BR/><BR/>Thanks, yooper.yooperhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11297259993402713368noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12954391.post-53594534864925138992007-09-01T23:36:00.000-04:002007-09-01T23:36:00.000-04:00Hey Yooper.

I'd planned to work population decline into the narrative later on — maybe not exactly Chefurka's scenario, but at least a close cousin.Larry Kollarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08317037795075278427noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12954391.post-37858691807400599612007-08-31T21:02:00.000-04:002007-08-31T21:02:00.000-04:00farfetched, put another way,anunally excess deaths...farfetched, put another way,anunally excess deaths will roughly be 5 New York cities by 2012, by 2017, 15 of them....Never in the history of mankind, has this magnitude of a problem exsisted, there are simply no prerequisites for it....<BR/><BR/>Thanks yooper.yooperhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12922639024027060912noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12954391.post-5397478966062348852007-08-31T20:33:00.000-04:002007-08-31T20:33:00.000-04:00Hello farfetched!Ha!ha! you kinda had me going abo...Hello farfetched!<BR/><BR/>Ha!ha! you kinda had me going about the 50% die-off off thing! At first, I thought maybe you talking about people, not chickens! ha!<BR/><BR/>Really, what's the difference? Chickens or people? Check this site out, http:/www.paulchefurka.ca/Population.html.. Under this model,(which both John and I agree with), the annunal average excess death rate will reach 100 million people,(not chickens), for the next 75 years. Furthermore, these excess deaths are expected to reach 50 million before 2012, by 2017 150 million, peak at 2027 at 200 million, and then tapper..................<BR/><BR/>Ok, to put this in prospective, it's suggested on this site that only 10 million excess deaths occured during WWII, annually for six years..<BR/><BR/>Perhaps a better prospective would be by 2020 and extending to 2042, 150 million excess deaths will occur each year. That is the population of this country dieing every other year, or for eleven years...........................<BR/><BR/>farfetched, can you imagine this? Have you even thought about this? What about Mrs. Farfetched? Have you let her on this little secret?<BR/><BR/>You bet, farfetched, might as well take as many times down at the creek with Mrs. Farfetched, while you can!<BR/><BR/>Thanks, yooper.yooperhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12922639024027060912noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12954391.post-41937509832548455872007-08-31T09:41:00.001-04:002007-08-31T09:41:00.001-04:00Thanks guys!Thanks guys!Larry Kollarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08317037795075278427noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12954391.post-14627315453990902452007-08-31T08:27:00.000-04:002007-08-31T08:27:00.000-04:00Morning FAR, FM ...What FM said ... :) Great story...Morning FAR, FM ...<BR/><BR/>What FM said ... :) Great story you've got going here FAR!oliviahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03401788202984343513noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12954391.post-74005700004271061082007-08-31T08:23:00.000-04:002007-08-31T08:23:00.000-04:00Morning FAR.Great continuation with the story.
