Population growth and resources lecture

Some of ye may find this interesting, the first is a lecture about how growth assumptions are not understood by many people.
The second is an interview with Jeremy Leggett, who argues that the oil reserves maybe fudged big time.

Would be interested in any comments.

I believe it.

All the more reason for us to look at ALL alternatives to fossil fuels. Now.
