Thank you.
I've looked at the A Comparison of
The Limits to Growthwith Thirty Years of Reality, I wasn't particularly impressed with how the predictions are fairing. Sorry for offhand dismissal, I don't have much interest in fisking that report...From the abstract: "The analysis shows that 30 years of historical data compares favorably with key features of a business-as-usual scenario called the “standard run” scenario, which results in collapse of the global system midway through the 21st Century. "
I haven't read the abstract, I have skimmed through the paper itself. As I said, I wasn't particularly impressed.
