Herausgeber_innen: Global data continues to confirm The Limits to Growth standard run scenario, which forecasts an imminent collapse in living standards and population due to resource constraints. Further, the mechanism underlying the simulated breakdown is consistent with increasing energy and capital costs of peak oil. The diversion of
energy and capital away from industrial, agricultural, and service sectors is a greater problem than climate change in the modelled scenario since it leads to global collapse by about 2015.
