MALTHUSIASM: Enthusiasm concerning  bad things happening, in particular, bad 
things happening to populations. 

Enthusiasm concerning how bad things happen when populations get out of hand 
(qualitatively or quantitatively or both as are we IMO).

Is there perhaps something less cynical to be done with Maslow?

MASLOWPIAN:  The U/Dys-topian experience when Maslow's hierarchy of needs is 
followed/ignored?

Has the list noticed the new perfect word for frustrated climatologists and 
epidemiologists:  Cassandrafreude.  This is like labradoodle, another 
"portmanteau" word.  One definition offered is "the bitter pleasure of things 
going wrong in exactly the way you predicted but no one believed you when it 
could have made a difference."  Any other suggested definitions?  You go, Nick!
