[Coral-List] Over population

[Eugene Shinn]

Alina, You did it again. This time I decided to reply on the list. You 
certainly have raised the stakes for survival.I suspect it is worse than 
the picture you have painted. I spend some time with an oceanographer 
who has looked at the solar panel situation. He even wrote a paper no 
one wants to publish. He was flying and looking down at those black 
areas on peoples houses and began to worry. Black areas absorb radiation 
and emit heat. What if we all had solar panel roofs and then replace 
agricultural areas with solar panels. How hot would planet Earth 
become?According to my oceanographer friend who crunched the numbers it 
becomes a loosing situation. Just something to think about. Maybe it is 
time for Soylent
