    It’s almost like our population has continued to increase for the last 30 years

      It’s almost like you have no clue what you are talking about lol. The global population growth for the last 30 years is 50%, while the global GDP growth is 500%. Not only that but the wealth inequality in the world has been steadily rising for the last 60 years. In the US alone (that we have data on) the wealth of the bottom 80% has been roughly stagnant since the 1990s while that of the top 1% has skyrocketed - it’s basically them that have absorbed this economic growth profit.

      So yeah, you got a lot of confidence in things you clearly don’t know about.

        You weren’t talking about wealth, you said that our energy consumption continued to rise.
