The Reverend[1] Thomas Robert Malthus FRS (14 February 1766 – 29 December 1834)[2] was a British scholar, influential in political economy and demography.[3][4] Malthus popularised the economic theory of rent.[5]
Malthus has become widely known for his theories concerning population and its increase or decrease in response to various factors. The six editions of his An Essay on the Principle of Population, published from 1798 to 1826, observed that sooner or later population gets checked by famine and disease. He wrote in opposition to the popular view in 18th-century Europe that saw society as improving and in principle as perfectible.[6] William Godwin and the Marquis de Condorcet, for example, believed in the possibility of almost limitless improvement of society. So, in a more complex way, did Jean-Jacques Rousseau, whose notions centered on the goodness of man and the liberty of citizens bound only by the social contract—a form of popular sovereignty.

It has been done before and not too long ago and it needs to be done again.

To be honest, there does seem to be too many people on the planet to be sustainable over the coming years, how the "useless eaters" will be decided on I don't know. My viewpoint is having worked in the oil industry since 97 I have seen just how remote the locations are and will become just to extract oil and gas to just sustain current demand, if all the Chinese and Indian people really think that they can have a car, and a home with a dishwasher etc, they are going to be in for a shock.
There seems to be a consensus amongst a few people I have spoken to in the industry that, once oil derived products become way too expensive (and I am not talking about todays or next years prices) that a new source of energy will magically appear from the oil companies, however because it will be a new source of energy it wont be cheap, as the oil and gas producers have gotten used to a simple formula, the less they produce the more they get paid.
The other consensus is that in a 100 years people will look back at us thinking how utterly retarded we were just have burned our oil and gas reserves, when we could have done much more with it than just burned it, but oh well.
I wonder what the criteria is for those alleged 20% left remaining? I dunno, chance perhaps?
