Booming nations 'threaten Earth'

Earth lacks the water, energy and agricultural land to allow China and India to attain Western living standards, a US think-tank has warned.

Ok, not that this isn't a disturbing article, but that's one helluva racist headline, I think. I mean, the body text is actually pretty good, but I'd much rather see "India and China Have Chance to Bitch-Slap Western World With Progressive Thinking."

Yeah, yeah, there's a reason I don't write headlines.
