Paging Robert Malthus, please come to the white courtesy telephone.

From the headline, I was hoping for a takedown of the completely irresponsible, reckless, criminal, unconstitutional and out of control government. But nooo, we get nonsense like this:
"Grantham believes the world has undergone a permanent "paradigm shift" in which the number of people on Earth has finally and permanently outstripped the planet's ability to support us."
There are no limits to the human mind to create.
"The phenomenon of ever-more humans using a finite supply of natural resources cannot continue forever, Grantham says--and the prices of metals, hydrocarbons (oil), and food are now beginning to reflect that."
Ah, Mr. Grantham, have you heard of ethanol subsidies, which take corn and turn it into fuel. There's no corn shortage outside of the Federal Government paying people to take it off the food market. And agricultural productivity is so high, zillions of acres have been taken out of production and could be returned to production if prices go high enough to make it worthwhile.
Second, Mr. Grantham, did you miss the last 2 years in a Rip Van Winkle sleep? Keystone pipeline, Obama closing off the Gulf for oil production and closing off federal lands for oil and gas production. There is so much oil under the US, it's amazing that the lubrication doesn't cause us to slide downhill to the equator.
What a disappointment.
