They get paid for that kind of prediction? My 9 year old daughter can make that kind of prediction.

I tend to give stock to this, but perhaps not in the timeframe.

The reason why is that our "civilization" is actively preventing the historical "resets" that have pulled us back from this in the past: 1) disease/pestilence; and, 2) large scale war.

Apparently. Here are the solutions to the problem:

The two key solutions are to reduce economic inequality so as to ensure fairer distribution of resources, and to dramatically reduce resource consumption by relying on less intensive renewable resources and reducing population growth.

Yeah, I don't believe this.

Seeing that everyone else (cept Rick's tard family of course) is looking the OTHER way.

My guess is Rick can't aim.

Did a guy named Malthus write the report?

Or Paul Erlich?

I get the names of the people who have predicted our doom because of 'depletion' of resources confused.

it's not a "NASA study"

that aside, the tone of the article makes it sound as though the author is quite credulous of the reports conclusions

but the description of the report makes it sound like it should be dismissed out of hand, as a young-earth creationist should. not sure if that was his intention, but whatever.
