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 http://www.zip.com.au/~pete/uw.html 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.
