I guess so. If the world's total allocation is to encourage the people to explore the world better, all this might be avoided.
I think it is more of a case of more humans over a great land area with better news communications. Seriously how many times does a storm in BFN get reported.
AKA
If a tree falls in a forest and no media whore is there to report it, will it make the news?
PS, btw Tim, did my package show up yet?
I guess the tsunami doesn't count, being last year. OUCH. Remind me not to b*tch when it's -40.
Nope tsunami was the big bang to end last years weather. In like a lamb out like a lion? Hmmmmm, how did this year start again?
