The next world war

Will the next world war be another all out romp instigated by the same old world politics that have been around since the 1800s... or will the next 'big one' be percipitated by environmental pressures?

As we all know (ok, perhaps not you Republicans), environmental pollution is a world-wide issue. When entire countries (yes, I mean China) are disgorging massive quantities of pollution and are rampantly overusing their natural resources, this effects the rest of the world. When will things come to a head causing governments to clash not over resources but over excessive pollution?

Will the next world war be fought to force the polluters to become 'green'?

...or don't you (ahem) 'give a hoot'.

Moving

Well, it's official. I'm moving again. The apartment that I'm in now has been sold and I have 90 days to find a new apartment. I spent Friday going around to five or six different agencies looking for rental properties. It really makes things difficult when you don't have any income. :-)

Ever worse, many properties here are covered by a French law which gives tax breaks to rental property owners who rent properties at "affordable" rates. In order to take advantage of these lower rental rates, you are required to have paid French incomes taxes... Which, so far I have not paid any French income taxes since I don't have an income.

So, of the 80 or so properties which are on the market now, I can only choose between about 30 of them. Fun.
