My mind is blown! Growth is deadly.

8. Yea, except that resource usage and population don't work that way.

It's a hell of a lot more complicated.

Think about it. If the world worked this way, species wouldn't go extinct. The planet would just fill up with, well, everything (except food, of course) until it was full. We wouldn't have massive die-offs due to plagues, volcanos, wars.

And for those people who will inevitably say, "Yes, but it's an analogy", fine. Then don't inject bad math into it. The world population growth *rate* is decreasing, not increasing as the video implies.

Don't brand me as a climate denier -- I am far from it -- but crap like this doesn't help the cause.
