      Your guess is as good as mine. Let’s just hope that they didn’t also see any copies of The Limits to Growth as well. It was a scientific report published in 1972 by a think-tank. Using computer models developed at MIT, the authors warned that continuing on business-as-usual population and consumption growth trajectories would likely lead to societal collapse within the next 100 years.

      I don’t know about you but I’m excited!
