    I’m not surprised. It would probably take some collaboration, so it’s not necessarily going to happen.

    I think the authors forgot that people aren’t sims.

    Well it would be if that were the goal. But the real goal is to make rich people even more rich. And as always: Number must go up!

    So does that mean the maximum population of our planet is about ~30 billion people?

    The headline is a bit misleading. The authors give a range from 30-44%.

    Very interesting conclusions on economic growth and extreme poverty. When an economy grows, the basic necessities might become too expensive for the poorest in the country.

      The headline is a bit misleading. The authors give a range from 30-44%.

      Their abstract mentions only 30%. That would mean the authors themselves are misleading in the abstract.

      Provisioning decent living standards (DLS) for 8.5 billion people would require only 30% of current global resource and energy use

    Almost as if commodity production-based economies aren’t there to provide for the people but to make profits and waste resources. It’s a shocker

    You all trying to tell me that, all along, we didn’t really need to reduce the birth rates and let the natural selection cull all those innocent people?
