Some things are wrong with this presentation - I can't believe we will
hit infinite population next year (or in any year, for that
matter). The hyperbolic curve fit seems definitely ad absurdum. It
also contradicts a later slide showing that we have passed the
inflection point in population growth, so definitely not hyperbolic then.
