Term: "About six million in June of 2010, almost seven million in june of 2011. This is ONE MONTH. What do you think is going to happen in ten YEARS ? Look around, at the clammoring for reources, starting wars and all that over natural resources." Way back when, I posted a link to a youtube vid, "The Most Important Video You Will Ever See". IIRC. It was about exponential growth, and how politicians have absolutely no idea what that means. Cobb County, where I live, has about 750,000 people. It grew at nearly 2% per year from 2000 to 2005. http://www.cobbcountyga.gov/history/cobb-today.htm (we also have a AAA rating from Moody's; exceptionally well-managed). At 2% per year the population will double in 35 years. That's about 2 generations. And that is exponential growth. Divide 72 by the # of years, and you get the growth rate. Even a seemingly low rate of growth of 2% is not sustainable. If the whole planet had a 2% growth rate, we'd have around 14 billion people by 2047 or so. Of course, by then, agriculture will have collapsed because of that pesky little Peak Oil problem, which the rightards somehow think some Kozmic Spook will come down to Earth and solve ( I heard some Norwegian Death-Metalheads on a documentary refer to the Abrahamic religions as the "Middle Eastern Plague". I agree.). Fucking morons.
