Answer to Question 1

The condition where the perceived carrying capacity is not ultimately sustainable.

Answer to Question 2

His point was that exponential population growth is commonly not understood. World population, for
example, quadrupled in the 20th century from 1.6 billion, in 1900, to over 6 billion, in 2000, and it
took only 12 years for the last billion people to be added to our population. Doubling times will
continue to get shorter unless population growth rates decrease. This trend cannot continue indefinitely
in a world of finite resources and living space.
