Fifty years on from The Limits to Growth what did we learn and what’s next?

The bottom line from https://www.clubofrome.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/05/Earth4... is this: "The BAU2 scenario shows a halt in the hitherto continuous increase in global welfare levels around the year 2030, and collapse setting in around 2040." The original book and 30-year updates are here: http://www.donellameadows.org/wp-content/userfiles/Limits-to... and here http://www.peakoilindia.org/wp-content/uploads/2013/10/Limit.... Other COR publications can be found at https://www.clubofrome.org/publications/.

If you read the original and then look at the date, you'll know where we are.

It's interesting that things are conforming pretty much to the modelling they did way back when. You'd think that our advances in technology since the original was written would change the results out of all recognition.
