Lukewarmers like to invoke Malthus and Ehrlich. "If they'd been right, we'd be dying of starvation now". Yes. But they're models were simplistic and one dimensional. If we'd maintained 1% growth/year in population since the 1800s or 2.25%/year since 1970 we'd have collapse now.
The world's systems are multi-dimensional, interconnected complex and chaotic. And things like fossil fuel power, nitrate fertilisers, late 20th medicine change the game in unexpected ways.
