The World3, global system dynamics model projects global food production peaking this decade. That doesn’t necessarily mean that’s for certain what’s going to happen. It’s only a projection, and only one model, but I think it’s an important model. It’s a projection based on the assumption that there are physical limits to growth. That assumption seems pretty irrefutably true to me. There is a finite amount of energy and other resources available to us on the planet, seems inevitable that we will hit some hard limit(s), eventually. The World3 is an attempt to project when we might hit those limits, and, if the World3 projection is accurate, it might be soon.
Alright boney boys, let’s go! War and Pestilence have already been riding for a few years. Famine, it’s your turn to hit the trail!
Malthus is back baby!
Gotta keep that profit margin….
