Ooops, I posted above on this. How do ’students’ like Graham, or Ajay, Angelina, Alec & Mischa manage the complex business of breathing & thinking simultaneously, never mind putting one foot after the other.

I tend to the Lovelock view, rather than the BigBiz pabulum spruiked by Lomborg, that the tip over point will be when the miniscule, anthropogenic, current temperature increase causes the permafrost taiga & tundra to release methane (the most potent GHG), rather suddenly.
I, for one, welcome the prospect of sunbathing in Greenland and bumper wheat crops in the Yukon. Pity about NY, London, Amsterdam.
In the Antipodes we have had a less than wildly successful record at various types of terra forming & bioalteration so, permit me to be a little sceptical.

Errr.. Chad is hardly a Central African country. I have been consistently terrified by the results your droogs have previously posted for these quizzes. What bothers me most is that the general abysmal ignorance doesn’t bother them or, mostly, even register as important.

Parts of India already have a classical history of polyandrous marriage. Parts of the sub continent, ie the far norther regions away from the hindu/muslim hegemony, such as the HP/and Nepalese/Tobetan border regions. Still extant, esp among the tibetan refugees who couldn’t afford to schmooz with the Dalai Lama in McLeodGanj/Dharamsala.
