Interesting to go back 30 years for a quote that would be hard to verify and may have been taken out of context. Nonetheless, I will guess that the meaning is that it is FINE and dandy for the population to KEEP going up and up. And I can't begin to imagine how that increase would equate to. " Cooling is coming" as was stated as the premise of the thread? There was a RAT experiment in psychology where rats were kept well fed but more and more rats were placed into an enclosure. As the rat density increased, there developed "bullying rats" and submissive rats. Then strange behavior problems. Then ulcers and other health problems. And finally, all got sterile and violent. Then they all died out. It seems to me that if human population kept going up that wars would occur which would INCREASE gas and oil consumption and increase CO2 emission and further heat the planet. Then when
humans were done "nuking" each other, any that survived would be driven back into the stone age. And maybe then that. " Colling is coming" would finally happen.
