I am disheartened that in the whole global warming/climate change debate the scenarios presented in the Limits to Growth and its 30-Year Update have been ignored by all but Secretary General Ban Ki-Moon who, in his opening remarks at Copenhagen, said that we do not have even a year to do something because "Nature does not negotiate."

In my opinion, we have already past the tipping point of doing anything on a global scale to reduce the collapse of life support systems on earth. In their analysis, Meadows, et al, did not consider global warming, global pandemics or global war; therefore, the only explanation of the steep decline in global population is by starvation. That decline will likely solve many of the other causes of global warming/climate change. Not exactly an optimistic future, is it.
