Do you believe that is the only possible scenario given the present conditions?

RE: When Enviromentalist Get Serious
A better question would be why people believe that the human population will grow exponentially (and beyond our ability to sustain it) without some new energy source to fuel that growth.

It's a malthusian conceit, but Malthus was spectacularly wrong even in his own time....so, what gives? Wrong yesterday, right today?
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

We will expand until we reach a collapse point, then it will be exponential. Perhaps Crazy Eddie will lead the garbagemen in strike for better working condition.
