remember this photo ? antwrp.gsfc.nasa.gov your opinion ,if i recall was that the photo was misleading, and that "The entire population of the earth could fit in Texas with the population density of a suburban area. The limitation is not space. It is food and energy. The amount of both that can be produced is increaseing faster then the growth of the world's population. " that: " Barring unforseen disasters (like a major conventional world war, a nuclear war, an astroid hitting earth) it is very likely that the economy in 50 years will support the average person on earth better then the average person is supported now. " (6502) as you take the view of : "I was just trying to make the point that the world isn't busting at the seems with no room for any new people. There is no current world wide population crises although there are local population issues in a number of countries. 6506 * I know you have faith in the evolution of a world move towards freemarkets and technological development , but i am glad to see your position is finally softening here and you are yielding gradually bit by bit , to the reality that maybe we have gone too far . To find the kind of human suffering that can really start to grow and get out of hand in so many places, because you wanted to believe in protecting and increasing industrial capacity and rely on unfettered consumer demand and expansion, seems rather an unwise position . You want to continue to risk & speculate more on the unfettered technological dreams...market expansion and not dealing with overpopulation ? 6482 Sure technology increases production capacity, but there are limits ... The market is speaking , and the God of Nature may have just started to begin to speak . Time to rethink a few positions here maybe TW? regards mars
