“Global population is more likely to be in serious decline than rise. What are your FACTS that say otherwise?”
How about birth vs death rates outside industrialized countries?
And even counts IN the most modern, first world, industrialized countries -- just HOW many extended visa-free visitors (illegal aliens) do do we have in the US? Is it 12 million, 22 million, 32 million?
The numbers are not accurate. Even in the most modern of places we have only guesses -- ballpark guesses, maybe just the infield. Third world numbers? EVERY number is a wild guess. Way wild.
How many died of famine in China last year? Where's that number? And if there is a number -- by what regard can it be considered reliable? How reliable is enforcement of their (damnable) one-child policy? Just how quickly can China kill itself off?
Went on a China tear there. Sorry. Main point is that the population figures worldwide are all fairy tales — or rather political propaganda.
