[extropy-chat] al-Qaeda is growing fast- global warming - Salute

[Extropian Agroforestry Ventures Inc.]

to the cretaceous environment and capturing all that liquid water into
productive  biomass.

All our technology is focused upon creating useful biomass and substrates for
technological products and human biomass, yet the limiting factor may indeed be
climate and water.
