Industrial civilization headed for 'irreversible collapse'?

5. I notice that paper is from 2012.

The one the article is based on hasn't been published (by the peer-reviewed journal "Ecological Economics&quot yet - presumably Nafeez Ahmed saw an advance copy, which is why there is no link.

I also note that the paper apparently mentions the rebound effect in reference to efficiency and why it doesn't slow down growth.

"Technological change can raise the efficiency of resource use, but it also tends to raise both per capita resource consumption and the scale of resource extraction, so that, absent policy effects, the increases in consumption often compensate for the increased efficiency of resource use."

Presumably those bloggers on this board who are better informed than NASA scientists will be writing a correction to the journal.
