Given the urgency of the climate problem, that is indeed convenient.

You know, the technology was at the right place for us to build this world. The most difficult thing about doing The Croods was no doubt the building of the world. Every single thing in this film is organic. Organic things are tough. Very very labour intensive. And we have no man-made structures.

So building this world was the biggest thing of all, and the technology was there to do it.

Chris Mooney

I now say that the world has the technology - either available or well advanced in the research pipeline - to feed on a sustainable basis a population of 10 billion people.
