So we finally learn that the great tragedy the 4400 were sent forward and then backward in time to prevent with their newly-acquired special abilities has to do with the squandering of our natural resources, like fresh water. That’s gotta be global warming and the century of drought, yes?
Of course, we must take this with a grain of salt since we learn this from two of the marked–the evil elite from the future who don’t want the resource-destroying tragedy prevented and whose personality-containing nanites have been injected into (and taken control of) the bodies of present day folks like our hero Tom Baldwin.
Hey — you were warned!
[And tell me you don't watch NBC's Heroes, which is a The 4400 rip-off -- OK, so The 4400 is kind of an X-men ripoff....]

The very first global warming movie was probably “Soylent Green”, by the way.
And, no, I don’t watch ‘Heroes’.
Actually, I feel a lot smarter since I threw out my TV. And my kids do better in school, as well. I urge everyone to try it. Watching a lot of TV is a like smoking a lot of pot. It won’t kill you, but it kinda makes you stupid.
For a real blast from the past that will amaze you (it did me), read the 1949 SciFi book entitled “Earth Abides” by George R. Stewart. I found myself thinking all through the book, “I can’t believe this guy wrote all this stuff back in 1949!” I wrote a review/commentary on the book on my web site at www dot samadhisoft dot com. Once you get there, search for “Earth Abides”.
Oh and I’m a 4400 fan as well. What can I say?
