Thomas Malthus probably could never have dreamed that he’d have so many adherents to his dangerous philosophy so far into the future.
Well we aren’t doing anything to negate the possibility. Turning arable farmlands into forests (for Climate Change!) and turning corn into automotive fuel (heavily subsidized, inefficient and does nothing for the environment) and any other idiotic idea they can think of. Whether it’s intentional or unintended, one day we will be left with fewer food choices due to rising (intentional) fuel costs and less farmland.
Yes. Malthusian Fallacy.
