Last year, the world ate roughly 70,000 metric tons more cocoa than it produced. By 2020, the two chocolate-makers warn that that number could swell to 1 million metric tons, a more than 14-fold increase; by 2030, they think the deficit could reach 2 million metric tons.

It's this same kind of linear thinking without underlying physical or economical cycles taken into account, that has given us the Global Warming meme.

In 1820 the US population was 13 million. In 1920 it was 106 million, an 8-fold increase. Therefore the 2020 census will show a US population of 848 million.

You mean whatever trend is happening now may not continue forever?
