Show Notes
Mark and I share more highly researched, thoughtful conversation on human welfare and the environment. We see things differently, but I consider our conversations the type we should have more of.
This session we cover
- The book Limits to Growth as well as the concepts underlying limits to growth
- Earth's carrying capacity
- How much wealth is consumed by food and fuel, now and historically, and how much it's dropped
- How the low cost and high availability of energy has allowed us to devote more money for other things, inventions, and life improvements
- What is pollution?
and plenty more.
