Re: Overshoot
as I've learned in previous instances that those who go into the over population theory go ALL in and can't be convinced otherwise and I just don't have the energy to participate in an endless debate where the other side can not be convinced. don't have a personal/emotional stake so much as i've ac...

Re: Overshoot

Re: Overshoot
If I have the energy I will write a longer reply, but I'm not the person I once was on this forum and find myself doing that less and less with time. This discussion is good though and I welcome it in a place where my posts don't get downvoted into censorship or outright banned by the moderation te...

Re: Overshoot
It feels like Malthus because it is Malthus. Catton wasn't an ecologist and his concept of overshoot is not scientifically sound. He openly admits to admiring Malthus. "known for his scholarly work in environmental sociology and human ecology".... might not be his main field of expertise-...
