From The Nimbin Good Times, by Mark Pestell.

Entitled ‘The Limits to Growth’, commissioned by the Club of Rome (clubofrome.org), the report presented a sobering possibility: if humanity continued to pursue unlimited economic and population growth on a planet with finite resources, global systems could begin to collapse around the year 2040.
