Good news-bad news

First the bad news: World's resources of water, food, oil, etc. are dwindling. The population is up. Population control is under attack and everyone hates us.

The good news: The Republicans are in control.

Now don't you feel better already?

American Reporter: The world was fun while it lasted

"One-fifth of the world's population - about 1.2 billion people - are in absolute poverty and try to live on less than a $1 a day. 420 million people live in countries which no longer have enough crop land to grow their own food. One-quarter of the developing world's crop land is too degraded to till and 500 million people live in regions prone to drought. By 2025, that number could increase fivefold to about 3 billion. About 30 percent of the world's surviving forests are seriously degraded and they are being cut down at the rate of 50,000 square miles a year. Wetlands have been reduced by 50 percent over the last century. A quarter of the world's mammal species and 12 percent of the birds are in danger of extinction. Carbon dioxide levels - a key contributor to global warming - are the highest they've been in hundreds of thousands of years. Global production of toxic waste has reached 300 million tons a year."
