That sounds like a line from Stephen “Humanity is DOOOMED! Abandon Earth!” Hawking.

Scientists have warned for decades that humans are straining the Earth.

That's where I stopped.

Scientists suggesting population control Vs. Space Occupation I presume.

“”There are individuals who have been technologically enhanced with things such as pacemakers and cochlea ear implants that allow those people to have fuller lives.”

Wait till the media hears this. Headline: “Rush Limbaugh is a Cyborg!”

Most of the rest are ugly as a three day half eaten pizza left on the sink, though.

A sizable percentage of the human population is too stupid to even feed itself. Cut off all food aid and watch the numbers contract to a point that is more sustainable.

Cyborgs sounds like a good idea. Take the mushbrain out of the leftist moonbats, put in a computer, and end the stupidity/violent animal behavior.

If the moonbats can’t even survive in the United States without taxpayer assistance, how the heck are they going to survive on a half barren planet?

As the growing global population continues to increase the burden on the Earth’s natural resources,...

ROTF!

It ALWAYS comes to that doesn't it?

Us humans have invaded the planet to destroy it and scientists just need to get over it! /s

Cannibalism is a reasonably good short-term solution.

Hard to imagine anybody trying to turn a welfare recipient with a room temperature IQ into a cyborg, though. Unless it's for sporting purposes, ala Running Man.

Japan is pursuing robotics at a furious pace because they need something to take care of the rising elderly population and the number of babies being produced is dropping.

‘Wait till the media hears this. Headline: “Rush Limbaugh is a Cyborg!”’

They will actually say, “Rush Limbaugh is a big, fat Cyborg.” Whenever the Leftists say something about someone who disagrees with them they always have to add in their two cents worth of invective.

Bah. Everyone knows that cyborgs aren't interested in saving mankind, but in eliminating mankind.

Unless, of course, they are reprogrammed to protect a person or persons.

Such idiocy. Back when I was in high school, there was a thought problem, which was “If you divided a cubic mile into boxes that were six feet by two feet by two feet, how many boxes would you have?”

6,133,248,000.

The estimated current population of the world is 6,869,700,000.

This means that every single person on the Earth could be put into individual boxes, which would be a bit more than one cubic mile.

Now, granted, this would be uncomfortable as well as stinky. So what if people were spread out on the land with the population density of Hong Kong, which is about 16,400 people per square mile?

The entire population of the world could fit into a space of 418,885 square miles. They would fit into an area the size of Bolivia, which has 424,000 square miles. The rest of the Earth would be empty.

How about the density of Phoenix, with 2,938 people per uncrowded square mile?

2,338,223 square miles would be needed. Hey, everybody, we’re going to Australia! But not a single person anywhere else in the world.
