anthrome_map_v1.jpg (JPEG Image, 1620x938 pixels) - Scaled (57%)

This great new map shows anthropogenic biomes. I like the premise. The eco region maps are as if these places had no people. This map says that since there are very few wild places left, it does not make much sense to talk about natural biomes.

Will Malthus Continue to Be Wrong?

  • Since Malthus's time, world population has risen sixfold to more than 6 billion. Yet happily, apocalyptic collapses have mostly been prevented by the advent of cheap energy, the rise of science and technology, and the green revolution. Most demographers predict that by 2100, global population will level off at about 10 billion.

    The urgent question is whether current standards of living can be sustained while improving the plight of those in need.
