Who is Bill McKibben and why should I ignore whatever he has to say about anything?

And what does the farm population in 1988 add to what I have already posted?

My real question was going back to the 1954 fossil fuel use and how we are going to bury all those people who will starve to death even  at that level.  We won't have backhoes to bury them with.

Funeral pyres, perhaps?  

Nope!  Too many hydrocarbons into the air!

Soylent green it is!
