Tom Clancy already dealt with this in his novel, RaninBow Six.
Environmentalist whackos develop a virus to kill off most of the people on earth, designed to be unleashed during the Sydney Olympics.
Of course, the antiterrorist team RAINBOW foils their plans.
Soylent Green is people!
“Chris Rapley, who takes up his post on September 1,...”
Who is Chris Rapely?
Well, maybe some one on this thread has already found out, but I don’t
have time to read all the posts.
But it sure took me a bit of Google time to find out.
1. Chris Rapely isn’t a climatologist.
2. Chris Rapely isn’t a meterologist.
3. Chris Rapely isn’t a climate historian
But...here is what Chris Rapely is (see blurb below under URL).
And I’ve got to tip my hat to the way some PhDs (or DScs) can make
a lucrative lateral move (or upgrade!) by moving into areas outside their
training and expertise!
And as an emeritus professor in pharmacology told me...an elegant
British accent automatically gives a person the “benefit of the doubt”
for about 30 IQ points in academia, business and institutional circles.

This would be the correct solution to the world’s overpopulation and food shortages. We in American should stop having more than three kids. We should cut welfare to families after three kids. We should build the wall on the Mexican border and stop legal immigration.
I would love to see our cities and countryside become separate again without the endless suburbia stretching on to the next city.
