[Daily Mail, where America gets its news] Models again? At least they won’t grow actual hair on their palms from playing with those.- MIT used a world simulation model to learn how our world would fare from 1972 to 2060
- The model looked at a number of factors such as population, industrial output and persistent pollution, and found a societal collapse could happen by 2040
- The research was criticized at the time, but an accounting firm analysis took another look at MIT's data and found their stark prediction was correct
