The mere fact that Hanson posts (repeatedly, the same) long
excerpts from books does not mean that the statements he
then provides are in any way substantiated by the excerpts.
Hanson's definition of human carrying capacity is inconsistent
with Cohen's. It is also apparently useless. Nor do Hanson's
diatribes seem to bear much of a relation to the pseudo-science
he sprinkles through them, especially so when he attempts
to invoke blatantly false thermodynamic analogies.
But then Hanson has been doing this consistently, and badly
for years. I only bother commenting occasionally. It gets
too repetitive.
