Replying to LO27819 --
Steven Hawking, in his book The Universe in a Nutshell (TUIN :-) deals
also with population growth (which is exponential, thus cannot go-on
forever).
He argues that we either "wipe ourselves out completely
by some disaster" ... ...snip... ...or deal with it (the outcome
of population growth) constructively. He follows this remark
by a personal optimistic view point:
" ... I don't believe the human race has come so far just to
snuff itself out when things are getting interesting."
<pp.159 and on, there>.
