Dennis L. Meadows on the Future of our Planet

Dennis L. Meadows: one of the original members of the Club of Rome and author of The Limits to Growth. Meadows's influential 1972 book, co-authored with Donella H. Meadows, Jørgen Randers, and William W. Behrens III, modelled the consequences of a rapidly growing world population and finite resource supplies. Currently President of the Laboratory for Interactive Learning, Dennis Meadows has worked for most of his career at the Massachussetts Institute of Technology.

God doesn't exist. What you call God is just a particular creation by tribes from the middle east, taking and remixing stories and myths to create identity for a group of people

Gramps needs to chill out, the planet has always changed we just need to adapt. CO2 is a life gas and at just 0.04% our atmosphere is literally starved of it.

Not to worry, Mother Nature will intercede and the population will seek its own level.

This guys predictions have been wrong for his entire lifetime and yet he is still treated as a prophet.
Notice how he never polices his own consumption.

[@fierce-green-fire8887]

Anyone who understands that human created systems are destroying the planet and the community of life living within our biosphere IS a prophet. Anyone denying it is an accomplice in its murder. At this point, lifestyle choices aren't going to change anything. That's been demonstrated. We have massive governments, militaries, industries...individual consumption is not what is destroying the planet.

If US hadn’t developed fracking 10 years ago you probably wouldn’t be saying the same thing. Regardless the model was never supposed to be accurate to the year, it shows a principle that however hard we try there is a limit and I think we are witnessing a massive slow down in developed economies. The latest update show we are on the BAU2 model which shows collapse starts around 2030-2040. Guess we will find out because it’s too late now, trajectory nailed on.

Dennis Meadows really is one of the worlds dumbest individuals. His modeling has never been used by anyone else apart from the Club of Rome. He doesnt address the main problem which is that all money enters into the system as debt meaning only profitable ventures get backed.

[@joaopedrosousa5636]

Why so many dumb comments here? What is this collective illusion that natural resources are infinite? Eventually it will get more and more expensive to extract (or recycle) natural resources. That is easy to predict. When the demand for oil or a mineral, any commodity, in the world increases, less productive oil fields or mines have to be put to work, and that increases the price of the commodities, in order for the less productive operations to still be profitable. Meanwhile, the more productive oil fields or mines gain a superprofit when the price is high like that. Minerals eventually will have to be sourced from less productive places (some mining places are better than others; higher concentration of the mineral, ease of extraction, refinery).

[@pukulu]

Things won't slow down on this planet until after a catastrophic human die-off. It might result in something close to extinction for humans. The longer we sustain industrial civilization through the use of fossil fuels and the longer human population continues to rise, the worse that the fall will be.

[@jozefmak984]

That fall has been in planning for quiet some time

[@cmossman6580]

Or, the population could take responsiblity and stop breeding for a few years, we die naturally of old age, the elders will die... as long as we stop bringing more to the table, we'll slowly reduce down.

[@lord-mgtow5931]

how old is that fucking old man?.. he's going to live a maximum of 10 more years and he's worried because "there are too many people"... maybe the one who's left is him... fucking old subnormal

[@catemossman9993]

@@lord-mgtow5931 Perhaps he is wiser than you and knows that we’re all coming back to live on this planet in new incarnations? Otherwise, I’d say your comments indicate intolerance and ageism in your perception.
