Couldn't they also be a mathematician? The Pointcarré recurrence theorem is a good example of infinite rate in a fixed dimensional space. Also, that quote really oversimplifies environmental engineering, the ozone layer has been fixed by the kyoto convention because every person with the simplest understanding of the carbon cycle can understand why the earth has been able to sustain ressource consumption for all animals and can still do so for a very long time still, infinitely or not.

IMHO mathematicians go into the madman category.

Ozone was fixed because the cost of shifting to a different gas was economically viable for largely Western countries. The Montreal protocol was still impressive though as something that many countries could agree on without it becoming political. Ah, simpler times.

Animals don't grow infinitely. If their population surpasses capacity, they have a mass die-off I don't know why you bring in the ozone layer here. That was not a problem that had anything to do with reaource consumption.
