By Cynthia Chung This is an article version of a class Cynthia Chung gave for the symposium “The Earth Next 100 Years” which can be viewed here. What Determines a “Limit to Growth”? This might seem like a rather ignorant or simplistic question to some. Many will think the answer rather obvious, that the Limit to Growth is determined by limited resources, of course!
I could never thank you enough Cynthia! Such a great research. This seminar should be introduced into school program of our kids. I remember when my daughter coming from school( few years ago)talking about how bad CO2 and all other rubbish on climate change because of planet so overpopulated. I asked her only two questions:1) didn’t you study photosynthesis in school?? She said: yeah, but it’s different CO2.. i asked: how come, if chemical formula the same? Got her thinking..2) i asked her: so, tell me then, if earth overpopulated, who will decide who have to die or leave? She didn’t have an answer to this question, but she never talked about it again, she understood that it’s a nonsense.

Really enjoyed reading this again. Hammers home the true potential abundance the cabal is hoarding / suppressing.
Just awesome, THANK YOU !
Anthropocentric much? The limit to human growth is the space needed for biodiversity. The miracle of life is not just human.
