I know this will be unpopular here, but I agree that at the very least the population growth rate must come down. The world cannot handle exponential growth of the human race IMO. Flame away.

Free markets and personal responsibility can take care of that....not Ecoscience weirdos on a power trip.

Btw, there is a lot of unused land in this world - these population explosion claims seem a little silly - JMO.

“but I agree that at the very least the population growth rate must come down. “

Population in parts of Asia, Russia, Europe, and the US is leveling off and projected to decrease significantly by 2050.

Latin America and Muslims are still rapidly increasing.

[Le Chien Rouge]

Many studies have shown that as a population becomes more urban and developed, the growth rate of the population declines.

Japan and Europe are proof of this. Even Latin America and South American countries are having slower population growth rates.

The only group that is really reproducing is or Islamic friends.

No flame, just a few questions.

1. How do you know your statement is true?
2. How do you know what the proper growth rate is?
3. Are you going to get that answer from all of the alarmists? I dare say that their models are all highly suspect.
4. How do you propose to reduce the growth rate? Mass sterilization? Chinese-type laws? Political correctness run amok?

Just curious on a Friday morning.

I highly suggest viewing this;demographic winter

It points out that the population bomb idea started in the sixties was wrong and populations will be declining. The full thing is also on Youtube in an 11 part series.

And you are free to not contribute to that growth. Your life, your choice.

IIRC, you could move the world's population to Texas, give each person 100 sq. ft. of space, and you would still have more than 50% of the state available.

no flaming here....lets admit that there are many people that should not have children..

"....at the very least the population growth rate must come down. The world cannot handle exponential growth of the human race IMO. Flame away."

In the Capitalist world, the growth rate has already dropped precipitously (assuming you mean population growth), and is dropping pretty much everywhere else as standards of living rise. All the human race needs is acess to enough energy, which can be gotten from fission (and soon, fusion), and/or from power satellites.

The Malthusian argument is long dead.

Easy to fix, halt all medical research. If that doesn't do the trick stop producing vaccines. Then if that doesn't work outlaw penicillin.

Don't think for a minute any of this will affect Bill Gates and Bill Gates knows this. All elites want to control population growth of you but not for thou.

[Vor Lady]

You do know that the entire current population of earth will fit in one city in Florida if everyone stands shoulder to shoulder leaving the rest of the planet empty right?

[Crim]

It’s unpopular because it’s bovine excrement...
