On the other hand, these doomsayers also caused public outcry that changed a few things. We can never know if these changes are the reason doom didn't happen, or because the prospects were imaginary. Anyway, I believe that it'll be very hard to annihilate humanity let alone the planet, but it'll be very easy to lower the living standards slowly enough that we won't notice the reasons for it. If you plan to have children, I think it's something you should thinks of. Ofcourse, I'd prefer a rational discussion regarding the issues. But the powers at be, which usually have what to lose, usually steer the debate to be anti rational. And then you find yourself in a position where you must exaggerate in order to gain attention to your cause. It's a tragedy...
