Meh, The same people have been singing the same song to the same tune since 1834. In every instance, the predictions have been totally wrong. Including the projections of the IPCC as recently as the projections made in the 2000 Assesment report that failed utterly to track to real events.

In every instance, those that have predicted recource shortfalls and population doomsdays have been wrong. Not little wrong, like a matter of *degree*, but *big* wrong, like *nothing* they predicted took place.

Read "the population bomb" for a *fine* case in point.
