Imagine our population continues to double, say every 100 years.
In 1,000 years there would be about 5.5 trillion people.
Not so bad
each of us would have 280 square feet of land to support us.
sounds pretty cozy
point being
perpetual growth, even slow growth, is not possible,
we must reach a steady state
population will cease to grow, probably in the near future
governments need to plan for the steady state.
right now our government needs 5% growth to avoid bankruptcy
that is very unrealistic
we need to start living in the real world and forget fantasy land
