Loved this piece both for its content and its writing style. Loved too the variety of sources Ketcham references: Louis Brandeis, Justice Taney—this guy has done his research! A resident of Central Vermont, a hotbed of innovation for reliance on a local economy, I am in the process of planning a sustainability camp for kids this summer. This article was precisely what I needed to read in helping me refine the rationale for the camp and deepen my conviction of its necessity. Thanks, Christopher!

Love the example of the “super pig”; especially the response from the chief “scientist”.
EPIC FAIL.

Is it possible that no one with power ever openly acknowledges “the coming crisis” in advance of its occurrence because these self-proclaimed Masters of the Universe have too much personal wealth invested in whatever conditions bring on Armageddon?
A culture of silence in science with regard to human population dynamics and the human overpopulation of Earth is unacceptable, is it not? Elective mutism gets us nowhere.
