Yes. It seems to me that I have seen that estimate before. But what does that estimate assume? Does it assume no changes in global climate? No great disastrous hurricanes like Katrina and Ike? No resource-destroying (or -consuming) wars? 100% efficiency in our chemical and agricultural systems? Does it assume that our electrical, transportation, chemical and financial infrastructures never wear out? Hmmm?

What concerns me is not the way things are, but rather the way people think things are.
