a scientist of some repute was off on the predictable 'we're all gonna die' rant, naming all the stuff overpopulation was going to use up, sending us back to the stone age. An economist said, "Tell you what, you pick the top 5 commodities you think we are going to run out of." The guy did. "Okay, I will bet you that in 10 years (or some such time) we will not only not be out of those, but the price will have decreased. Not 4 of 5. All 5."

The economist won. "Follow the science" requires a lot more thought than looking at last week's trend chart.
