Dear 1000 Friends,
For your consideration:
Carrying Capacity, Overshoot and Species Extinction
http://peakoilbarrel.com/carrying-capacity-overshoot-and-species-extinction/Paul Chefurka got (stole) his ideas from William Catton:
In a way, the world-view of the party imposed
itself most successfully on the people incapable of understanding
it. They could be made to accept the most flagrant violations of
reality, because they never fully grasped the enormity of what
was demanded of them, and were not sufficiently interested in
public events to notice what was happening. By lack of
understanding, they remained sane. They simply swallowed
everything, and what they swallowed did them no harm, because it
left no residue behind, just like a grain of corn will pass
undigested through the body of a bird. —George
Orwell, 1984
NEW ECOLOGICAL UNDERSTANDINGS
Industrialization: Prelude to Collapse
by William Catton
CIRCUMSTANCE: The Age of Exuberance is over, population
has already overshot carrying capacity, and prodigal Homo sapiens
has drawn down the world's savings deposits.CONSEQUENCE: All forms of human organization and behavior that are based on the assumption of limitlessness must change to forms that accord with finite limits.
