I'm afraid you've rather misunderstood what I was saying; no point in
recapitulating here, but I hardly imagine that a neo-malthusian scenario
is inescapable. See

for reasons why I think there may be a whole damned hell of a lot of future,
if we're smart about preparing for it. As to your "third world propaganda", 
may I ask that you explain just which parts of the estimations I've referred 
to you think are inaccurate, and why?

Peter Merel.
