Lines: 10 Nice idea this terraforming, why can't we make lots of new worlds for people to live on, then we don't have to worry about contraception, or the population problem, excellent plan guys. We make a mega mess of this world, get all green and caring but still we don't consider the one all important green issue, our propensity to overpopulate. OK, so it's a tangential argument but what the hell, I'm a tangential sort of chap :-) Toodle pip. Shane Sturrock, Biol Lab. Canterbury, Kent, Great Britain.
