Your claim that Wikipedia is a more reliable source than the US Central Intelligence Agency is just laughable.

I never made that claim. What I said is that the CIA is not a neutral, scientific organization. The Wikipedia article is a good one, citing lots of primary sources...and many of these sources must also be behind the CIA report.

The CIA have no motivation to fudge birthrate statistics around the world

The CIA is a political organization, very political in its public pronouncements. Demography is a highly sensitive subject, politically. Religion, economics, ideology can be very, very threatened by certain findings. Privately, the CIA is charged to give the best advice it can to government officials. Publicly, it's quite dangerous to challange those officials.

However, since you like the CIA, take a look at this and google "CIA+overpopulation".

Perhaps we should consult Wikipedia to get the real scoop...

So you still haven't read the article. What is it with you? And now you're citing the U.N. as an unimpeachable source? How droll.

If you'd read the article, and the CIA links I posted, you'd see that those fertility rate drops do not justify your rosy interpretation. We're still going to see massive destabilizing, immigration and environmental degredation, and maybe real collapse.

In addition, I said I don't believe the demographers because what they are claiming contradicts what I see and what my friends see...in California and many other places.

The link I provided in my last post doesn’t work correctly. You’ll have to google “global trends 2015”, second source. I viewed it as HTML but it is a pdf document.
