It's a theory, and the name of an organization which, for many years, has
tried to push an agenda of not having more than 2 kids, so a couple only
replaces itself without adding population. Naturally, there are people
who
think its inevitable that suggestions will become laws, and such people
refuse to think about controlling population growth.

I wonder if Paul Ehrlich (the original Algore) is still with them.

Some of his "predictions"-

You are correct. All resources are infinite, and it doesn't matter how many
people tap these resources. This is physically impossible, but if you're
stupid enough (like you), anything's possible.

You are correct, there is no middle of the road or even common sense
to be had.. It's only doom and gloom, we are in for a global
freeze..ooooops, wrong election cycle... Sorry.

I am not really a doom and gloomer but I will agree with those who say
we will run out of cheap water long before we run out of cheap oil.

It will mostly affect people who insist on pretty green lawns first.
Here in Florida there are already people who are finding there is so
much salt in their well water that it is killing their pretty
Floritam. Our wells are still considered "OK" where I am but the salt
can be 1 PPT in the winter. That means you get a gram of salt in a
liter of water if you don't run it through an RO.

Another good reason to start building some nuclear plants. Desalinization
may be in our future.
