Civilizational cataclysm has more than one form, or...
You know those days when anything the wife does makes you want to rip out a wall?
It's all around us.
Live Earth, draws attention to global warming. But of course, the underlying cause is people want to live in an american commercial on what's it lane in desperate housewives with none of the desperation (but they'll never admit it). Now if we have 1 billion people on earth, that's okay. But we have way more. So all our diesels, and gas engines, and 7x 110 watt Denons, and 1000 watt subwoofers, and 50" plasmas, Bose this and that, 20k BTU AC's, powered treadmills, Espresso makers, and all the people whose improving lives in China and India bring all that within the dreams of close reality, need to make the earth warmer to get to their vaca's and summer homes on the Yangtze, Baikal, Indian Ocean, Adirondack, 
Sierra, Olympics, Vancouver, and get away from the heat islands which power their lives. Or not, if you believe it's what it really might be after all, variation in solar radiation. But it doesn't matter.
It doesn't matter because enough DO buy it, that we are all looking for non-oil stored energy to burn anyway (thus increasing mythical..or not.. warming anyway) ... that means, sugar, corn, wheat..whatever for alcohol or biodiesel, and so our Nissan Titans, and Samsung 47 inch LCD's are now competing with the corn on the barbie, and the Titan is winning and the era of cheap food is done, and that's so because there are TOO MANY RATS in the cage.
Everybody know what happens when there are too many rats in the cage?
Think I'm kidding?
