Didn’t read the whole article but it sounds like these 22 biologists and ecologists are looking for big time grants for further study.

22 biologists and ecologists, that has to be less than 1%.

The problems are:

China
Indonesia
India
Pakistan
Egypt
And the African continent.

As a percentage of arable land they have over populated and are net importers of food and some even water while others will lose not only land to certification but will pollute their waters to unsustainable levels which will kill off millions.

Problem solved.

This scared the bejeebers out of us in 1972. The "Limits to Growth" guys had it all figured out. They actually didn't put time scales on the problems in the original edition, but saw population collapse as inevitable due to having already reached the "tipping point." We're all still waiting...

The writer of the article obviously takes a dim view of End Times Prophecy, but I’m going to share this passage from The Holy Scriptures anyhow. If Brown and the other “scientists” had any sense, THIS is the thing that should scare the hell out of them............and cause them to repent before it’s too late. Second Epistle of Peter, Chapter 3:

2Pe 3:1 This second epistle, beloved, I now write unto you; in both which I stir up your pure minds by way of remembrance:
2Pe 3:2 That ye may be mindful of the words which were spoken before by the holy prophets, and of the commandment of us the apostles of the Lord and Saviour:
2Pe 3:3 Knowing this first, that there shall come in the last days scoffers, walking after their own lusts,
2Pe 3:4 And saying, Where is the promise of his coming? for since the fathers fell asleep, all things continue as they were from the beginning of the creation.
2Pe 3:5 For this they willingly are ignorant of, that by the word of God the heavens were of old, and the earth standing out of the water and in the water:
2Pe 3:6 Whereby the world that then was, being overflowed with water, perished:
2Pe 3:7 But the heavens and the earth, which are now, by the same word are kept in store, reserved unto fire against the day of judgment and perdition of ungodly men.
2Pe 3:8 But, beloved, be not ignorant of this one thing, that one day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day.
2Pe 3:9 The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.
2Pe 3:10 But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up.
2Pe 3:11 Seeing then that all these things shall be dissolved, what manner of persons ought ye to be in all holy conversation and godliness,
2Pe 3:12 Looking for and hasting unto the coming of the day of God, wherein the heavens being on fire shall be dissolved, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat?
2Pe 3:13 Nevertheless we, according to his promise, look for new heavens and a new earth, wherein dwelleth righteousness.
2Pe 3:14 Wherefore, beloved, seeing that ye look for such things, be diligent that ye may be found of him in peace, without spot, and blameless.
2Pe 3:15 And account that the longsuffering of our Lord is salvation; even as our beloved brother Paul also according to the wisdom given unto him hath written unto you;
2Pe 3:16 As also in all his epistles, speaking in them of these things; in which are some things hard to be understood, which they that are unlearned and unstable wrest, as they do also the other scriptures, unto their own destruction.
2Pe 3:17 Ye therefore, beloved, seeing ye know these things before, beware lest ye also, being led away with the error of the wicked, fall from your own stedfastness.
2Pe 3:18 But grow in grace, and in the knowledge of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. To him be glory both now and for ever. Amen.

That’s great, it starts with an earthquake,
birds and snakes, an aeroplane - Lenny Bruce is not afraid.
Eye of a hurricane, listen to yourself churn -
world serves its own needs,
Don’t misserve your own needs.
Feed it off an aux speak, grunt no, strength no.
Latter starts to clatter with fear fight, down height.
Wire in a fire, representing seven games in a government for hire and a combat site.
Left of west, was a coming in a hurry with the furies breathing down your neck.
Team by team reporters baffled, trumped, tethered, cropped.
Look at that low playing! Fine then.
Uh oh, overflow, population, common food, but it’ll do.
Save yourself, serve yourself.
World serves its own needs, listen to your heart bleed.
Tell me with the rapture and the reverent in the right - right.
You vitriolic, patriotic, slam, fight, bright light, feeling pretty psyched.

It’s the end of the world as we know it.
It’s the end of the world as we know it.
It’s the end of the world as we know it and I feel fine.

Six o’clock - TV hour. Don’t get caught in Foreign towers.
Slash and burn, return, listen to yourself churn.
Lock him in uniform and book burning, blood running.
Every motive escalate. Automotive incinerate.
Light a candle, light a votive. Step down, step down.
Watch a heel crush, crush.
Uh oh, this means no fear - cavalier. Renegade and steer clear!
A tournament, a tournament, a tournament of lies.
Offer me solutions, offer me alternatives and I decline.

It’s the end of the world as we know it.
It’s the end of the world as we know it.
It’s the end of the world as we know it and I feel fine.
(It’s Time I had some time alone)

It’s the end of the world as we know it.
It’s the end of the world as we know it.
It’s the end of the world as we know it and I feel fine.
(It’s Time I had some time alone)

The other night I tripped the lights continental drift divide.
Mount St. Edelite. Leonard Bernstein.
Leonid Breshnev, Lenny Bruce and Lester Banks.
Birthday party, cheesecake, jelly bean, boom!
You symbiotic, patriotic, slam, book,neck, right? Right.

It’s the end of the world as we know it.
It’s the end of the world as we know it.
It’s the end of the world as we know it and I feel fine...fine...

I’m not sure what an ecologist studies. But a Macroecologist, now there is someone who must see the big picture, and is far wiser than any mere ecologist. A bona-fide so-and-so.

"The situation, said one scientist, “scares the hell out of me.”"

So, is this guy busy preparing for when his SHTF?

Where is he going to move?

What materials will he have when he gets there?

The answer will always be the same. Americans need to quit driving SUV’s and quit having having kids.

I'm thinking these folks should just follow their own convictions and get off the planet.

We would all be much better off.

Ohhhhh nooooooeeeeeeeees! Are these the same ‘scientists’, perchance, who believe in population control and think there should be a minimum population on earth for ‘sustainability’?

Mmmm hmmmm. Thought so.

So what’s their problem with people dying because of ‘globull warming’? Seems to me they should be wetting their drawers for that opportunity to arise.

If we can get rid of these idiots by the world ending, it will be a big plus. This plague of stupidity must be stopped.
