[QUOTE="Dry Rot, post: 6509530, member: 4505"] To every argument there is a counter argument. Maltheus back in the 18th century had his own ideas and but for fossil fuels he would be proved right....and still may be. It is certainly happening in countries like India. [URL unfurl="true"]https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Malthusian_trap[/URL] "The [B]Malthusian trap[/B] or [B]population trap[/B] is a condition whereby excess [URL='https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Population']population[/URL] would stop growing due to shortage of [URL='https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Food_supply']food supply[/URL] leading to starvation. It is named for [URL='https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thomas_Robert_Malthus']Thomas Robert Malthus[/URL], who suggested that while technological advances could increase a society's supply of resources, such as food, and thereby improve the [URL='https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Standard_of_living']standard of living[/URL], the resource abundance would enable [URL='https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Population_growth']population growth[/URL], which would eventually bring the per capita supply of resources back to its original level".
