Using the term "intellectual property" to refer to patents is a terrible mistake, because in other articles "intellectual property" refers to copyright, and in yet other articles it refers to trademarks.

Partly this is due to human activities; for instance, global heating makes droughts and floods happen, and deforestation also makes for worse flooding for the same amount of rain.

In addition to curbing global heating, we also need to curb the human population.
