It is yet another restatement of the 'Limits to Growth', Malthusian, end of the world, business is bad, were running out of stuff theme repeated ad nauseum in many similar opinion pieces with few facts to support the idea. The 'we know better' Green lobby is at it again with their fear campaigns.
The world is way better than it was even 20 yrs ago for most of its inhabitants. Sure there are problems, but villifying big business and turning everyone into fearful environmental evangelists isn't the answer to anything.
In my opinion most of the "crises" predicted are generated by vested interest groups and bear little resemblance to actuality. We've been hearing that the world is on the edge for about 20 yrs now. Ho hum.
