This week is the fortieth anniversary of the Club of Rome's garbage tract entitled "The Limits to Growth". They said that world would be enveloped in a downward spiral which would result in mass hunger and mass death. They said it would happen somewhere in the late 1970s.
On the contrary, a smaller percentage of people live in fear of hunger than at any time in the history of the our race. More than that, the number of people who live in fear and hunger declines every year, even as the numbers of us continue to increase.
So tell me, why were the fear-mongers so incredibly wrong? More people has not lead to hunger and death. Quite the opposite; it has led to riches and vibrant diverse life.
