I would vote for human water use practices as the numero uno biological
bomb, whether it's Las Vegas sucking dry the intermountain West, or Turkey,
Syria and Iraq scuffling over the rights to destroy the Tigris River, or
China building huge dams/reservoirs, or... any of many other such
insanities.
But gasoline is back around $1.42/gal. in the US, so we must after all be
living in paradise. YMMV, of course!
