Are you saying that climate change, ocean depletion, soil depletion, desertification, plastic pollution and food shortage are not real?

- meiraleal 5y agoThe population growth trend proves OP point.
- TeMPOraL 5y agoNo, it doesn't. It still levels off way above what was the carrying capacity of Earth before the "Green Revolution" - and the systems maintaining our food production are unsustainable. We extract surplus food from the ground by destroying the ability to grow more food in the future.
- chrisco255 5y agoWe don't have a food shortage. Crop yields and agricultural productivity are at all time human civilizational highs.
- agumonkey 5y agoThis is a fragile argument. Systems can often be at peak before crashing.
- chrisco255 5y agoIt's a factual argument. Our civilization has been peaking in agricultural productivity decade after decade for 200 years. Your hypothetical argument is not statistically likely. Sure, on a long enough time frame some natural disaster will occur that causes a crisis, but the fundamental mechanics of photosynthesis and ag science aren't going anywhere.
