Appreciate the heads-up.

Whenever I see such BIG and over the horizon forecasts I'm instantly dubious for at least two reasons: - Lots of Black Swans can circle and cross reality in short amounts of time. - Global averages don't count for much if localized, extreme concentrations exists that swing towards depleting and /or insufficient resources.

The myth is not the myth of the pop. explosion, it's the myth of yet more BIG forecasts!
