Introduction and Purpose This paper examines the human population conundrum through the lens of human evolutionary ecology and the role of available energy.
"... In short, humanity has already exceeded the long-term human carrying capacity of the earth." (. The global economy will inevitably contract and humanity will suffer a major population ‘correction’ in this century.

Hey, I resemble those remarks!
It’ll just be natural as those billions die off through the decade...
We’ve heard this anti-Christ stuff since we were kids.
The whole “green” thing is based on it.
It’s nonsense.
Malthus has been right for most populations during most of history.
The population expands until it reaches the carrying capacity of its area, and then it stabilizes with the lowest rungs of society limited by disease, war, and starvation.
Population expansions have occurred when there are technological improvements to agricultural production (3-field rotation, importation of American food crops, double cropping of rice, Haber-Bosch production of ammonia) or when the area expands (replacement of hunter-gatherers in the the US, South Africa, Siberia, Argentina, Brazil, Caribbean, Australia, etc.).
Based on computer models?
Computer models = guesses.
Democrats are prepping for mass extermination.
Child sacrifice is certainly a recurring theme through history.
“eliminate 6 or 7 billion “
Well you know we have to do something ....
or the cities will be buried in horse dung by 1924..
hmmm ....wait ....what?
Very good article that points out a very possible civilization collapse.
This is just bunk. I’ve read from credible sources that even without advances in technology we could support 30 billion people on Earth.
Of Rees, one reads: Prof Rees’ academic work has been widely recognized. He has served on numerous advisory committees and lectured by invitation in 30 countries. Rees is a founding member and former President of the Canadian Society for Ecological Economics; a founding Director of the One Earth Initiative; and a Fellow of the Post-Carbon Institute. He was elected to the Royal Society of Canada in 2006 and, in 2007, was awarded a prestigious Trudeau Foundation Fellowship. In 2012, Prof Rees received an Honorary Doctorate from Laval University, the Boulding Prize in Ecological Economics and a Blue Planet Prize (jointly with Dr Wackernagel). He was elected a full member of the Club of Rome in 2014.

Among the other features of the "post carbon" folks is that ubiquitous "donate" button because -- money. And one can post on the site for money: "Article Processing Charges (APC) Information"

And, by the way, the domain which hosts this particular "modern Malthus" is for sale: $94,888 USD.

Yup, as the nameservers show nicely: Name Servers: ns1.domain-is-4-sale-at-domainmarket.com ns2.domainmarket.com
Carbon foot print? Actually one follows this back to a money footprint, as happens with so much of the "green" movement.....
You don't think these Population Control folks are:
A. Godless?
B. Goons?
C. Clueless?
Those four and five hundred pound mamas that came up the trail from central and south America to wade across the Rio Grande are really tipping the scales for North America. The Earth should start wobbling at any time now.
What do you think Genesis is all about?
What do you think Genesis is all about?
God reduced the population to 8?
“... And let those claiming this situation kill them selves, believe in problem, believe in solution, implement solution, repeat........”
Same for the CAGW folks.
“awarded a prestigious Trudeau Foundation Fellowship”
THERE’s your problem right chair..
