wrong. I must quote from memory since I don't have the book here, but if
you want title, author and ISBN, just ask:
at the current standard of living for canada, we would ALREADY need two
ADDITIONAL earths to sustain the CURRENT world population.
even without a change in standards of living, given current growth and
the nature of exponential functions, we will exhaust this planet's
resources ca. 200 years from now.
both of us will be dead by then, but it's still close enough to matter.
it's got nothing to do with crypto, however.
