A very temporary "crises".

Muslims and Africans are procreating very fast. They will soon make up the difference.

At most, it will take a hundred years.

[Jane Long]

Gee ..... I wonder what it could beeee.

We were told this would be happening, by real docs/scientists.

[toddausauras]

Nope. There are too many ppl on our planet. Period. I’ll never lose sleep about there being too few.

Tell me you did not read the article without telling me you did not read the article.

Um, there’s no requirement that the population can never go down.

[Secret Agent Man]

Yeah we’re not running out of people, that’s fer dam sure.

[Romulus]

Morons on this thread completely ignorant of the economic consequences of depopulation.

[4Runner]

Both our Coonhounds have “cautionary tails”. If they’re wagging, the dogs could go either way. You take your chances.

[impimp]

Malthusian thinking is wrong because high populations are required to create the economies of scale for the technological advances that are required to make us a multi planetary species.

[impimp]

You are exactly right.

[knarf]

.... and Molech is still hungry.

[impimp]

Something to ponder -

Which is more sinful -

1. fornication that leads to single parent households

2. a loving marriage where the couples make the “responsible” choice of not bringing children into the world

[Fungi]

Yep, just Nonsense regurgitated time and time again. Control and taxation are their goals, including the sink hole. Just laugh.

[Secret Agent Man]

If we don’t bring up the population so much, how can they force us all to eat bugs?

[T.B. Yoits]

Control and taxation are their goals...

The globalists want people to have more children for them to be tax slaves.

[Nateman]

The good news is that among Christians the fertility rate is high as well.

[Nateman]

....the technological advances that are required to make us a multi planetary species...

Until we have families living off Earth we are only one nuclear war away from extinction. The good news is that automation is approaching the point where manufacturing off Earth becomes profitable.

[who_would_fardels_bear]

It's not just that the population will go down, but that an increasing percentage will be old. That's a bad mix for welfare states like every "capitalist" country on Earth.

Also, more economists are suggesting that the economy is something of a pyramid scheme which requires ever newer, younger, bigger populations to increase demand. As people age, they buy less. Stocks will go down. Real estate will also. So if old age pensions go away, even the pragmatic folks who plan ahead will have little to invest in.
