In response to Died of a delusion' – the fate of modern civilisation?

Global collapse

The Julian Cribb article made for an interesting read.

I think there is one more factor he has left out. This is the potential loss of antibiotics in the future. This will mean a natural increase in the death rate unless alternatives are found. Everyday common diseases and surgery will become increasingly dangerous.

If the world can get over the population peak later this century without major collapse, then there is still hope.
