T.R.Malthus. P.R.Ehrlich. Limited resources. Unlimited resource usage. Production rate orders of magnitude slower than use. Oil peak. Priority of plastics over fuel. Easily accessed resources used first. Difficult access destroys environment.

Hidden somewhere in there is a mathematical equation. The result of that equation is obvious.

Why can’t most conservatives do the math?

The problem is that Ehrlich was orders of magnitude wrong in many of his predictions and came out looking foolish when he was proven wrong. Thus I don’t really consider him a reliable analyst.
