$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('Ludi', 'I') don't see the "1000 billion" anywhere in that chart of estimates.

[KillTheHumans]

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('kublikhan', 'I')'m new here, maybe someone can clear some things up for me.

Why do people keep posting data not relevant to peak oil here as being caused by peak oil? Or are there people here who really believe the US housing bubble was caused by peak oil?

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('Lighthouse', 'A')nd sorry to say but a simple google search has exposed your sources as pseudo science.

[MonteQuest]

PEER REVIEWED AND PUBLISHED

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('GreyGhost', 'W')hich of these requires increased use of fossil fuels?

[MonteQuest]

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('Heineken', ' ')Many Third World countries are open sewers, with smashed forests, overgrazed or desertified land, poisoned water, huge numbers of endangered species (or outright extinctions). They have damaged themselves so severely that they have to import food from rich, wasteful America, a land where the survival of a mussel species is given more priority than the water supply of a major city.

However the published figures for carrying capacity are between 0.5 and 40 billion.

[kublikhan]

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('steam_cannon', 'O')verpopulation could be simply defined as a situation where there is not enough resources for the people using them.

Example:
* A tsunami washes away half of the land on a low lying island.
* Nobody died so that island has the same number of people.
* Now there isn't enough land to feed everyone.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Therefore the island is overpopulated.

Now reread your post and see if you get it...
$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('kublikhan', 'A')lso, I don't know why you would say overpopulation caused peak oil(or peak everything). If we had half the current world population, and zero population growth, we would still hit peak oil/everything. It would just take a little longer.

In the Sixties, Paul Ehrlich, the author of Population Bomb, and Lester Brown, the founder of the Worldwatch Institute, predicted that the "dramatic consequences" of our "throwaway lifestyle" were only a McDonald’s carton away.

Inaccuracy in the past invalidates the theory not. The fact is, infinite growth is impossible in a finite world. Period! Pin that quote on your shirt and read it over before each time before you post.
