<HTML>If you look at it from a distance, it is actually quite funny.
If there are Aliens watching Earth, then they must be p*ssing themselves!
Maybe there is a book on another planet called "How to destroy your own World- by The Human Race".
I wonder what destructive idea will come next? You have to wonder whether we have exhausted all avenues of destruction yet. I think not.
By the way Darius, you were spot on with the human life span idea. If the average age of a human being was 150, we would have a much clearer idea of how to look after the Earth and ourselves. Despite all this news, I do think we have turned a corner recently (Kyoto agreement, etc). It's just a case of whether or not we can keep going in the right direction and fast enough. We do not have much time left, but it is enough time if we can work at it.
Best Wishes all,
