Well; there's the over population problem but I think we're screwed (pun intended) on that one. The planet has doubled its population in under a 100 years. Another doubling will kill it by choking off land for nature.

The only thing that can save us at that point is a drastic reduction in population from war, famine, or disease. Nature has a way of resetting itself if need be. I think a major reset is coming one way or the other.

Look out friend you have swallowed some Leftist propaganda!

The world’s population may have doubled in the last 100 years but the worlds food supply has also phenomenally increased while (in the USA) used less total acreage.

And there is no reason to believe that this rise in farming efficiency will not continue.

And if the trend toward the expansion of economic freedom in the world continues the decline in birthrates will follow. Wealth is a huge determining factor in lowering birthrates. High birthrates have a high correlation to poverty.

I didn’t say anything about food/farming being a problem. Over population has many levels of problems.

I’m confident nature will make a forced reset of the world population one way or the other. It has to. Famine is only a problem where it has always been a problem; in arid climates with not enough access to water.

I didn’t buy into any leftist propaganda; I came up with these conclusions through research and common sense.

It won’t happen in the next 20-40 years but I believe this reset will happen if we keep over populating the planet.
