Well, the world population can’t rise forever. When will it stop? There’s a question for you.

It won't.

When will it stop?

When we have a major war, pandemic, economic collapse or some other such happening.

These are events that have happened repeatedly through out history and have wiped out entire civilizations.

Those that survived were those that started with enough excess population to fill the essential slots to keep things limping along.

Those civilizations that had little to no excess population vanished.

You can give every soul on the planet a square yard (iirc) and fit ‘em all into Texas...there’s more room than advertised.

Someday the Earth or the Solar System will see us off. It may happen next month or in a hundred thousand years. But it will have absolutely nothing to do with over population. I’ve visited and flown over quite a lot of this planet’s continents and it’s mostly empty land. Ninety percent of the areas occupied by humans are horrifically mismanaged and under utilized. We could probably multiply Earth’s human population several fold and still have room and enough food (efficiently distributed) to grow.

With vertical farming and a clean unlimited energy source the food supply w/b nearly infinite. Both will be developed in the near future.

However as Nations acquire wealth and education the population levels naturally drop. This has happened all over the world.

The Population Bomb scare is just another version of scaremongering by the left. I.e. Things are so bad you must give us control.

God knows and will take care of it.

But appears that you think professional affirmative action government bureaucrats and psychotic billionaires can do a better job than God.
