EVERY CIVILIZATION IN HISTORY HAS HAD A LIMITED LIFE, THEN IT COLLAPSED. OUR WORLD IS NO EXCEPTION.
What you read in this book may change how you live the rest of your life. The information comes from those who have known of our (humanity's) problem for a full half century. 1) Our planet, Earth, can sustain 4 billion human beings, indefinitely; 2) Using technology, we have stretched Earth's human carrying capacity to twice its normal number; 3) We are supported solely by the food and energy we receive from Earth; 4) Before the end of this century, Earth's replenishment capacity will stretch no further and force humanity to stop growing. 5) At that point, civilization as we know it will slowly collapse and billions of our global population will eventually die. 6) We have another (perhaps) 30 years to prevent this confrontation from occurring.
