im a fan of david suzuki but hes being a bit rash in this speech

we can maintain our current level of growth. david suzuki is giving a terribly simplistic view of our exponentional growth. yes his bacterial growth example models the bacteria well but not humans. we humans have access to technological innovations, we are able to adapt and we can use alternate resources. we are not trapped in a test tube to feed on one compound. our population may grow exponentialy but so does our innovation

That was just about the fastest 7:45 I've ever experienced. Dr. Suzuki expressed very well the the urgency with which we need to change our ridiculous notions of "normal" human lifestyle.
