How is your Doomsday Going?

Pogo politics from the Club of Rome:

"In searching for a new enemy to unite us, we came up with the idea that pollution, the threat of global warming, water shortages, famine and the like would fit the bill....All these dangers are caused by human intervention....and thus the “real enemy, then, is humanity itself....believe humanity requires a common motivation, namely a common adversary in order to realize world government. It does not matter if this common enemy is “a real one or….one invented for the purpose."

"The Earth has cancer and the cancer is Man."

And yet, things just keep getting better as this article from the Spectator points out. Here are some positive changes that we can all embrace.

Life span is up.
Incidence of HIV and malaria is down.
Peak oil postponed again.
Death tolls from natural disasters are down.
There were fewer war deaths in the last decade than at any time in 100 years.
There is less poverty.
Global inequality is less.

Check out the article. It is a time to rejoice and take pride in our human progress.

The Club of Rome is still out of touch with reality. Some things never change.

May this holiday season find you in good health and good spirits. Much happiness for a peaceful and prosperous New Year.
