In the 1970s, a group of scientists known as the Club of Rome got together to assess global trends and predict the future of the world and the people on it. Using a neo-Malthusian perspective and computer models, they predicted:
A) There will be an infinite supply of natural resources for hundreds of years to come because biotechnology will make land more productive, and humans will invent new ways of doing things.
B) The world, as we know it, will end abruptly in 2048 because of the greenhouse effect, coupled with a nuclear winter.
C) Current global trends in population growth, energy consumption, and environmental pollution will exhaust the world's natural resources within the next 100 years.
D) Biodiversity will increase, slowly smothering the world and all its occupants.
