Strange forum behavior

I made a couple of minor edits to my post above and the forum turned all the links into non-active links with the UBB code showing. Had to go back and copy paste from where I'd written it, but wasn't...

Do you understand that "experts" have always predicted gloom-and-doom with regards to the environment and natural resources? A major reason is because they use static models. They don't...

Re: The biggest story may be the problem of population growth

[ QUOTE ]

Ok. I'll go with the economic angle. There's no a single environmental group that could raise funds if their niche area was improving or stable. They are motivated to blow all favored...
