Couresy of vruz, I have stumbled upon a very thought provoking series of videos. These videos chronicle a presentation by Prof. Emeritus Dr. Albert A. Bartlett on “Arithmetic, Population, and Energy." The series is 8 segments long and they are all very insightful. I have to mention that the series starts off slow in the first segment as it is laid out like a class lecture. But, it picks up a lot in the second segment. If you sit down and take an active interest in the videos and follow his presentation, you will find the series fascinating. I realize many people these days are so busy they don't have the time to sit down and watch an 8 part video, so I'll embed arguably the most important segment (the 4th one) and then link the rest of the segments below for those who are interested.

Just watched all 8 parts...I knew all all the math before, but the prof lays it out in such a captivating way. Thanks for sharing. Hubert's models was part of my curriculum in a 4th year engineering, energy conversions course...sadly, I bet 90% of my class memorized it, rather than learned about it.
