The more I read the more I get ____________ ( fill in the blank)

Hi Folks.

Right now thee are so many different things going on, some good, some not good and some really bad when it comes to Global Warming, Peak Oil and war in general.Some are talking about all the other peaks we have to face, like peak water, peak soil, peak sustainable housing and others. The wars of the future will be over food , land and water( which by the way has been the basis for most wars in the past) only this time they will effect everybody. The whole planet. Everyone. Add in the plants and all the animals too. This is THE major time to get prepared. We have grown soft here in the west. Our lifes of luxury fed by the power of slaves in the form of oil and electric power have made us weak. We depend on them too much. We like our luxury. Heads up folks, enjoy it while you can. It is all going Bye Bye.

Every small act of conservation by someone in North America would be the same as about 25 people (more or less) conserving in poorer countries. Think about that. Think also that we may not stop global warming but we can slow it down or speed it up with what we do now ( that is assuming you believe as most scientists believe that humans are having an effect on the planet). Conserve now and often. That may give us some time to find new ways of living that will not kill most of the population off. We also need the time to learn new skills, and to adjust to these changes. Good luck.
