This is what we're looking at, folks.
5 years of absolutely terrifying hell on Earth...followed by a veritable Garden of Eden...or, we all die.
6 billion people with a modest 1% growth rate means 60 million new people every year hit the bricks and begin the process of resource absorption. In less than 1 human lifetime, we have 12 billion people choking each other to death.
To sustain this modest growth rate while staying within our available resources would require that we have only 2 billion people on the planet at the end of the next 5 years.
Of course, there's always the possibility that a natural ELE will take place and do most of the work for us, but the 1% growth rate will require an unprecedented educational task and consciousness raising far beyond anything anyone can make a nickel doing.
We need to get busy livin' or get busy dyin'. We're heading towards a very hard wall at very high speed.
