Re: Hostility to the notion of limits to growth (none / 1)

It could have been so much worse. I am currently reading a book on the history of the 30 years war. What we did, especially in Bohemia and Bavaria, isn't exactly things that instill national pride...

Something of a Kongo style holocaust.

Peak oil is not an energy crisis. It is a liquid fuel crisis.

Re: Hostility to the notion of limits to growth (4.00 / 6)

I have a horrible suspicion that future historians will regard the period post WW2 until now as the age of Plenty - and Waste, of relative peace and prosperity. I sincerely hope I am wrong and that Vietnam, Cambodia, Rwanda and current famines will not seem like small local issues compared to what future generations will have to endure.
