Global Leaders Panic Over Drop In Fertility Rate
It's actually amazing how completely wrong Paul Ehrlich was when he wrote The Population Bomb. But…
I’ve travelled and worked all over the world in the last half century or so. I worked on the polar ice cap north of Point Barrow.
We are visibly and dramatically changing our entire planet.
Our throw away global economy is unsustainable - if the productive citizens want to have any sort of reasonably comfortable life in the future.
We still have time to make small course corrections to humanity and try to achieve a “soft landing”. Some of the changes are still relatively easy to implement.
But the old economic solution of growing GDP to pay off debt is a paradigm that has to be re-examined.
“Our planet has a finite carrying capacity.”
How do you know this?

Finite sure, it is a finite mass after all. But where does technological progress meet the max sustainable population?
Wildly beyond where we are in case you are wondering. We are not even making fresh water from scratch yet. Farming is far from maxed out. How much meat can we make in the clone vats? Does it taste better than wild meat?
