Their whole project is based on Malthusian predictions. Since 1798, we've been on the verge of out-stripping our food supply. After 200 years "on the verge," I'm not convinced that we need projects like this.
I'm sure some of you will *gently* enlighten me, but what's the big deal here? If a government camera films me walking down the street, why should I care?

The worst they will see is me occasionally picking my nose or scratching my ass. Big deal.

Since he likes his little gold statue so much, I'm afraid he would think that solar warming is a bit of an inconvenient truth.
