I thought this was an interesting read: http://nymag.com/daily/intelligencer/2017/07/climate-change-earth-too-hot-for-humans.html

That'll scare the crap out of you.

That is a scary and sobering read.

.As soon as several decades from now, the hajj will become physically impossible for the 2 million Muslims who make the pilgrimage each year.

I love sentences like this....

Global over population is taxing our resources and causing an increase in deforestation, an increase in shipping (freighters create a ton of carbon emissions on their own), increased electrical production, cars on the road and manufacturing as well as a battle for scarce resources which is part of the massive migration occurring now in Europe from Africa and central Asia.

We need a massive culling.

Now we know who built the Georgia Guide Stones.:tongue:

Don't know about culling, but slowing population growth would be a good thing.

It's just as scary as the acid rain was in the .... was it 70's or 80's?

as long as it doesn't happen until Sunday night, I am good. My vacation will be over by then.

No, we need an ELE type event that would wipe out about 6 billion folks...but enough nuclear engineers left at each plant to be able to safely shut down all the reactors.

Slowing population growth is like slowing deficit spending.

And the way to do it is pretty obvious. Affluence and birth rates have an inverse relationship.

well, there are people like the duggars and others in the quiverfull movement so that relationship is bunk

A massive culling is not a workable option. Lowering our emissions is.

Hardly a blip on the radar.

If we're not already below the replacement rate in this country, we're getting dang close. One of the things that actually keeps us afloat is, well, immigration.

Not everyone can be affluent. Besides, Secretary Cleary doesn't agree with you.

So, pay people a lot of money to sterilize themselves?

Our global population is unsustainable. The deforestation for farming and grazing is actually causing more desert to grow in Africa. We are clearly reducing the trees needed to help "breathe" the CO2 and replenish the oxygen. Brazil's rainforest has been called the "lungs of our planet" and we're wiping that out for grazing. Because of overpopulation, we have a shortage of drinkable water as well. Want to go take a dip in the Ganges? Our next "global war will be over clean, drinkable water and food. The locusts have overpopulated and destroyed their homelands and are now moving north to more fertile lands to destroy them. I'm sure it's all going to work out just fine though.

By affluent, I don't mean rich. Just find a way to "develop" the developing world into something not resembling a poverty ridden hellhole.
