The New Land Rush

[Undertoad]

Ah, ok. You took a paragraph out of the middle of the page.

You still don't understand the meaning of the word "exponential" and are fighting hard against the notion of learning it. That word "if" is the operative word in that whole sentence:

Human population, if the number of births and deaths per person per year were to remain constant (but also see logistic growth).

If. But the number of births and deaths per person per year do not remain constant.

And then there's the last bit of that sentence, the bit you left out. Where it says but also see logistic growth. If you go to that page you find that it is an example of a function where growth appears to be geometric for a while, then slows, then stops. You also learn that it is another model for population growth.

The UN's World Food Programme doesn't consider Brazil to be desperately hungry but what do they know?

Which reminds me, I have some Chilean grapes in the fridge, and it's lunchtime.

Lastly, a plow is not a yoke.
