This is a prediction straight out of the mouth of Thomas R. Malthus.
Malthus basically said “That the increase of population is necessarily limited by the means of subsistence, and that population does invariably increase when the means of subsistence increase, and, that the superior power of population is repressed, and the actual population kept equal to the means of subsistence, by misery and vice.”
That was more than 200 years ago.
He didn’t account for modern advances in agriculture and technology, plus the desire of the middle class and affluent not to have so many children.
Many, many previously rapidly expanding countries population-wise are now at less than replacement birth rates. And technology marches on. We are very close to massive breakthroughs in DNA technologies applied agriculture, fuel production and quality of life. We continue to see NEW economies created with technologies. Email, smart phones, smart TVs, ebooks, just the last 20 years have seen massive changes.
So do not believe the Malthusians at NASA. This study was paid for, organized by and end results created by government solutionists wanting more power for themselves, bottom line.
You got it amigo. A hybrid of Malthusian bs and statist lunacy. A math model that has 1% consuming Gaias resources is as useful as Mann’s hockey stick.
