>> As an ecologist, Rees is well aware that all sorts of species frequently go through boom and bust cycles.

The ultimate “boom and bust cycle” will be realized when Jesus returns.

Boom for the faithful chosen. Bust for those outside of CHRIST.

“So pray to the Lord who is in charge of the harvest; ask him to send more workers into his fields.”

The pill and abortion will probably end human existence. What's the point of creating the next generation?

i had just seen a story that said italy has had no live births in the last 3 months.

i’m unsure how accurate that is, as those in control of ‘respected’ media would bury such a headline to insure their agenda of population collapse can be realized.

thing is, if i have even a 1% chance to believe that to be accurate then that’s very worrisome.

and with the push for vaxxing kids and the vaxx’s knack for sterilizing females... i’m starting to believe it more every day

My worst fear is that most people who received the vaxx will be dead within 30 yrs. Regardless as to the age when they got the jab.

According to these wackos, We need to cut human population to about 0.5 billion.
That’s why they pushing euthanasia, abortion, pills, castrations and LGBT.
Prepare to volunteer to be euthanized!

The problem with Malthusians is that they see people just as stomachs which need to be fed.
People are indeed born with stomachs, but also with hands and brains to provide for themselves.

I was in mechanical engineering school in 1972 when the Club of Rome published “The Limits to Growth.” I happened to be studying system dynamics and differential equations at the time the book was published and was intrigued by their modeling techniques. The book basically said the same thing — that the earth has a carrying capacity for human life and things could go awry quickly leading to population collapse.

--- "The pill and abortion will probably end human existence. What's the point of creating the next generation?"

I have heard the exact same sentiment and question from many. As public debt rises and populations -- expected to "service" if not pay down that debt -- become fewer in number, the per capita debt burden will explode into a people's awareness.

The "Club of Rome" elite will come to find that they will not be the "elect" in all that implies. Rebellions and revolutions aplenty can be foreseen.

There is no question now that absent divine intervention humans will destroy themselves via the products of technology.

It just makes sense doesn’t it? Lifeboats can successfully and practically hold only so many people can’t they?

Three stupid people on the planet is overpopulation.

Thirty billion smart people on the planet would be an amazing civilization.

“We now occupy almost all parts of the globe and ravenously consume resources beyond what Earth can sustainably provide for the long term.”

BS... Get rid of the “throw away” culture and it wouldn’t be a problem.

...understandably angered by the damage humanity has done to the natural world...

Who is "humanity"? Isn't those who are angered part of it? They have a choice.

They can kill themselves, if the "humanity" they belong to and are part of angers them.


Suicide

Yes, but that carrying capacity is enhanced by technologies and methods unknown at the time of a particular calculation, so is impossible to compute, as the data isn’t static.

Modern science has increased our ability to raise food far above the needs of the 8 billion that live at this time. Any famine or hunger nowadays are due to human war and criminal activity. We grow enough to feed everyone.

One could even argue the coming warming (of which the potential benefits never seem to be spoken of) of the Northern latitudes will bring vast ranges of Taiga in Canada, Alaska and Siberia under the farmer’s plow.
