A ‘population overage’ (Letter to Editor)
Press Democrat ^ | 6 Jan 2020 | Robert Beauchamp

A ‘population overage’

EDITOR: While our global warming crisis is very real, it is only a symptom of the pervasive effects of population growth. It ought to be obvious, for example, that our so-called housing shortage is actually a population overage, and that the housing developments being readied as resolution will exacerbate climate degradation.

Our flawed society, interpreting us as superior to nature and fabricating an economic system based on perpetual growth, cann only leave us confused and unable to fully grasp our dire circumstances.

The truth that we have historically clung to was never real, and those chickens are now home to roost. While global warming resolutions can be relatively straightforward, those associated with population growth will be severe, worse perhaps than the sacrifices we endured during the World War II years. Our fundamental mandate will be to adopt a full sustainability, which will demand a reformed society that not only sees an end to growth but a reduction in overall numbers.

Our continued indulgence in procrastination will only postpone the inevitable. If we cannot begin immediate, sweeping and effective reform, there can be no hope for us. We will deserve what we get.

Funny how these overpopulation jokers never remove themselves from the equation or alter their behavior.

Any country which is a net exporter of people should consider putting birth control pills in its drinking water.

Liberals In a couple of decades, if left alone to their life styles, will have destroyed themselves via their abortions, drug useage, homo sexual life styles, both DNA wise and soul wise due to their stupid and terminal life choices.

The Population Control crowd are a bunch of bigoted elitists.

It is God fearing FREEDOM that is in short supply in the world.

Let the third world benefit from their own natural resources by helping them develop energy production.

Forget the global warming nonsense.

If everyone who believes CO2 is a dangerous pollutant would simply stop exhaling it, the problem would be solved overnight.

———-
Housing shortages are local, and are caused by government misfeasance, such as zoning, rent-control, or similar disincentives to build housing.

You’re right, Mr. Beauchamp. There are just too damned many people on this planet, and that has to change. You first.

Absolutely. The western civilization they hate so much has produced such a cushy lifestyle that they can choose a selfish lifestyle where no real sacrifice or investment is needed.

Progress demands it.

Sebastopol is an enclave just a few miles from Santa Rosa. Summers are much cooler. I’m sure the writer has his so nobody gets theirs.

They also ignore the impact of liberal policies. Immigrants overwhelmingly move to the few big cities in search of work and because that’s where services are. This means illegal immigration is contributing to insanely high housing prices in LA, New York City and so forth.

Democrats officially dumped refugees in mostly white rural areas to “distribute” the load, though it was also to dilute the local culture and voting block.

Population growth is best attributed to sanitary sewerage treatment, modern farming and distribution, and modern medicine. Nature historically reclaimed vast numbers of less healthy humans through famine and disease. It was nature’s way of pruning the weakest genes, so they didn’t weaken the species. Humanity didn’t appreciate mass starvation and millions of stricken children, so they worked to limit nature’s plans.

So now we have unhealthy people who live long, unproductive lives yet they also reproduce. Nature WILL win this standoff one day. It will be ugly, it will be saddening, and it will be devastating.

Notice how they simply make up a lie and then demand everyone debate their based on their lie

There is neither a global warming, nor a over population, crisis. They are made up fictions by those pushing a Neo Facist political agenda.

This is an old battle between Liberty and Autocracy. Autocracy always try to scare people into trading their liberty of a fake sense of security.

The Nazi used the Jews as they mythical threat, these Fascists use “climate change” and “Overpopulation”
