Arithmetic, Population, and Energy: The Truth of the Doubling Time, Part 1 of 8
Take a look at how the growing quantity works and consider it in relationship to the statistics you see reported about anything. Remember, at 7% the doubling quantity is every 10 years.
Compare this to the economy, the national debt, your own debt, the energy needs of the world, etc. Consider what this means if you live another 30, 40, 50 years and what that’ll look like on the economy.
From Dr. Albert A. Bartlett’s presentation on “Arithmetic, Population, and Energy.”
