What did economist Thomas malthus?

Surprising to findt his page empty, as the nations meet in Copenhagen to avert future ecological disaster (December 2009). An obvious way to limit carbon footprint is to reduce population growth worldwide. The Catholic Church with its reactionary Popes, the other churches with their silence on this point, and governments with their commitment to economic and population growth or stabilization, all conspire to avoid this topic and to direct the discussion into other channels. However, I prophesy that demographic controls will figure prominently in future ecological debates and policies.
