Malthus Was Right


Sadly, despite the incessant bullshit, this era of Globalization has nothing to do with money printing, interest rates, debt, deficits nor stock markets. It is strictly about resource scarcity and the non-sustainability of the consumption oriented lifestyle. A concept that appears to be beyond the grasp of Econo-dunces everywhere.

3rd Grade Question:
If the human population doubled in forty-five years since 1970 and the wildlife population was cut in half in the same period, what is the change in the ratio of humans to wildlife?

400%

And therefore, given this new ratio, would we assume that the rate of wildlife/resource attrition is accelerating or decelerating over the next forty-five years?

Under the WalMart configuration, this planet has 20 years at best. The widely hailed advent of crop monocultures and agri-business has massively accelerated the unsustainable divergence between population and resources.


Collapse and reset can't come soon enough. Blowing away the denialists in the process is just the icing on the cake.
