Dr. Allen Bartlett On Exponential Population Growth And Fixed Resources.
I have a tremendous respect for the simplicity in the manner this Professor of Physics relates the most obvious truths, which should be apparent to us all, up until he drops the "Global Warming" bomb with not so much as a graph, an equation or even a direct explanation why he thinks this is so.
Dr. Barltett explains:
"Zero population growth is going to happen."
"Today's high birth rates will drop."
"Today's death rates will rise until they are exactly the same numeric value."
Population stops growing, in Dr. Bartlett's view, because "...It's absolutely certain that people could not live at [some un-named high density] on the surface of the Earth."
Here are the problems I have with his "Global Warming" theory. In his own words "...It's absolutely certain that people could not live at [some un-named high density] on the surface of the Earth." When the population ceases to grow, energy usage cease to grow as a function of the population (though it could continue to grow as a function of technology's use of energy). However, for the same reason the population ceases to grow, by Dr. Barlett's own reasoning, either the population will diminish or their use of energy will diminish. If there is global warming, global warming will slow or stop population growth until the problem resolves itself.
Sadly, the tax and spend Marxist, socialists or communists, anti-imperialists, whatever you choose to call them, will argue that taxing the people to death will solve these problems caused indirectly by overpopulation. How convenient that, as the population grows without bound, politicians' solution is a capitation tax, an energy tax, taxation on prosperity, taxation on those leaving the country, taxation on those not leaving the country and, even as the death rate begins to rise to balance the birth rates, a death tax.
When Dr. Bartlett throws "Global Warming" into an otherwise well developed, well justified and well presented case against overpopulation, he opens the door for the communists to take your privacy, your possessions, your very human dignity.
On that point alone, I find fault with Dr. Bartlett's presentation, without attempting to invalidate any other part of his argument, as if I were by education alone even remotely qualified....

Ed note: The translation is somewhat lacking and the comment has absolutely nothing to do with the post but the Web site is somewhat cool, nonetheless, so I published this comment.
This is a dealer in steel weapons. While I cannot attest to the quality of the steel, there's a katana on the page that at least looks nice.
So here ya go buddy. Good luck!

This production was secondary, even incidental, as the main products of the plant was a firearm. Most cold decorated arms for the royal court, court and military elite were purchased in large weapons centers in Western Europe: Solingen and Klingenthal. Purchase prices have been steadily growing because of what any economic difficulties that brought Russia to the dependence on foreigners. Alexander ordered a senate to organize your home center for the production of cold, including decorated weapon. To accomplish this task as. Where there was a good metallurgical facilities, iron foundry and ironworks produces high-quality assortment of cast iron, iron and steel. Low cost was achieved using the labor of serfs and the ability to quickly deliver products on a dense network of navigable rivers nearby. Apprentices of German artists, gunsmiths quickly adopted craftsmanship engraving and surpassed their teachers in the technique and the variety of miniatures. Products received the highest evaluation committee members gospriemka those times. http://www.Rapira-mir.ru/">http://www.Rapira-mir.ru/">http://www.Rapira-mir.ru/">http://www.Rapira-mir.ru/ До начала 19 века в России холодное оружие изготовляли отдельные мастера-самородки. Это производство было второстепенным, даже эпизодическим, так как основной продукцией заводов было огнестрельное оружие. В основном холодное украшенное оружие для царского двора, придворной и военной знати закупалось в крупнейших оружейных центрах Западной Европы: Золингене и Клингентале. Закупочные цены постоянно росли, из-за чего возникли экономические трудности, которые поставили Россию в зависимость от иностранцев. Александр 1 повелел сенату организовать свой отечественный центр по производству холодного и в том числе украшенного оружия. Для осуществления этой задачи как. Где имелась хорошая металлургическая база, чугунолитейный и железоделательный завод выпускал высококачественный сортамент чугуна, железа и стали. Низкая себестоимость была обеспечена использованием труда крепостных и возможностью быстрой доставки продукции по густой сети окрестных судоходных рек. Подмастерья немецких художников-оружейников быстро переняли мастерство изготовления гравюры и превзошли своих учителей и в технике исполнения и по разнообразию миниатюры. Изделия получили высочайшую оценку членов комиссии госприемки тех времен. http://www.Rapira-mir.ru/">http://www.Rapira-mir.ru/">http://www.Rapira-mir.ru/">http://www.Rapira-mir.ru/
