Well, I already have hobbit feet.

I stopped reading at this point...."This is because food is less nutritious in a warmer world which means that species have to eat more "

It was warmer during the period of the dinosaurs and they were so small, that they died out from being stepped on by Neanderthals.

Dude -—— we’re all going to be hobbits —— whoa!

This article sums up the AGW Acolytes fairly well.

Climate Science Arrives At The Pinnacle Of Stupidity

It's too late for Robert Reeeeeeeecccchhhhh.

A major reason, according to the author, is that the more educated women are, the fewer babies they have. Thus the world is facing a ‘depopulation crsis.’

They need to see how things work in Idiocracy.

[Slings and Arrows]

It's the "bezerkers" I'm worried about.

Remember Samwise, Smeagol and the Rabbits.

Hobbits loved meat when they could get it.

Thanks Ernest and GreyFriar.

(IMHO) The population of China will shrink by at least 2/3rds, unless policy’s changed there; parts of the European Union will try to remain ZPG, but that doesn’t work, it will always lead to implosion; other parts (such as Poland and Germany) will grow in size; the big story will be in the US — the population will be at least one billion in 2100, and probably more like 3 billion, and possibly a good deal north of 3 billion; by that time Portuguese speakers in Latin America will outnumber Spanish speakers; the population of Africa will cycle through several boom-and-bust periods, but wind up even more urbanized than today, and analogous to today’s India in terms of level of education and economic development; the overall population of the Earth will be in the area of 20 billion, at the very least, and could be much higher than that, perhaps as high as 50 billion.

Earth colonies on Mars will probably be fairly numerous, but small and very isolated. There will be a permanent (though rotating) human presence in space, including in orbital stations around some of the other planets, and on the surface of the Moon.

The human population has to decrease to make room for the hobbits.

[Daffynition]

Shhhh...I'm buying up Hobbit real estate for investment purposes.

This is because food is less nutritious in a warmer world which means that species have to eat more

Err... What?

It is food grown in cold climates that have less nutrition because they do not have time to mature and for the sugars to develop. Ever wonder why sweet foods tend to come from the tropics? Now you know.

Thanks for the post & the FReepmail, respectively.

Thanks Ernest. More Malthus.
