/\ This thread is great for illustrating the article in real time. Some people want to be able to put things in purely economic terms to be able to relate the current situation to the past, some want language to reflect the current crisis of natural resources, and then the conversation gets side-tracked by semantics. The semantics are important, but lens-crafting makes conversations difficult, especially when meta-comments like this one further detract from the goal.
