    That when all of the elderly people die simultaneously the smoke from all of the cremations will cause a nuclear-winter style global-cooling event, leading to the deaths of 2 billion people from starvation.

    Just like happened in the gulf war from those burning oil wells.

    All one might say is



    Well we've got to 7.1 billion now.

    Must be time to invest in the factories.

    May I add, there was no proof schoolgirls were rubbing their undies on me, it was thrown out of court.

    An economic and financial system premised on perpetual growth was bound to run into trouble.

    Indeed.

    Maybe instead of tracking GDP, now GDP/head of population will be tracked?

    Japan seems to be the case study. Are Japanese citizens really worse off? They still seem to have enough money to buy "used schoolgirl underwear"(which is probably new ones rubbed on prawns) so is life that difficult?
