In what year will the human population grow too large for the Earth to sustain? The answer is about 1970, according to research by the World Wildlife Fund.
In 1970, the planet's 3 and a half billion people were sustainable. But on this New Year's Day, the population is 8 billion. Today, wild plants and animals are running out of places to live. The scientists you're about to meet say the Earth is suffering a crisis of mass extinction on a scale unseen since the dinosaurs.
We're going to show you a possible solution, but first, have a look at how humanity is already suffering from the vanishing wild.

Personally mass extinction is not one of my worries.
Mass inflation, however, is quite another matter!
I’ve seen all the “science” I wanna see from these morons during the past 2-3 years. Enough to last me the rest of my life.
They can ALL go piss up a stump in the middle of a Maine winter...
Well; if they’d just let covid run it’s course...
Which Tyson?
The one who talks your ear off or the one who bites it off?
All one had to do was to look at a globe and see just where it was open: over the POLES!
Polar bears and penguins and seals would need sunscreen, but few humans.
Haha...made me laugh.
...and then going - WHERE?
biomass = an estimate of the weight of life forms
“If liberals were concerned about overpopulation, they wouldn’t be stuffing more humans into the USA.”
Very good point about their incessant hypocrisy on every issue under the sun.
The people moving to the less populated inland areas of the west are all fleeing the sh!thold cities they created.
The people filling up the world are all third-worlders. Every first-world nation has a birth rate below replacement or close to that.
So on planets with no life; there is no biomass?
How many illegal immigrants does it take before our system cant sustain it?

Gumballs: Immigrants by the numbers. We can’t save the people either...
That assumes that people will go back to productive work. All this tech surveillance serves none but the Evil politicians. It will implode and the global population will start to decline precipitously.
Tonight’s drama was a Screech Owl who luckily glanced off my PT Loser’s bizarre fender.
Brought it home, did triage and finally, the little idiot took off.
Why it flew into my fender is a mystery.
It really creeps me out when they do that 360 degree head turn.
*ick*
Nope.
But that is because I live in the country.
google “biomass definition” and find out for yourself (turns out there are two meanings, one of which applies to this thread)
Watch out for things that are “true” because liberals believe them to be true.
The percentage of advanced animal life represented by wild animals has been falling, but that doesn’t mean advanced animal life or life in general is going extinct.
We have lots of zoos and wildlife refuges to project biodiversity into the future. The rate of extinction of individual species is pretty low, even lower than what it was before we humans arrived.
There was a modest uptick in extinctions when humans (Europeans) started on the age of exploration, and inadvertently introduced cats and such to long-isolated island eco-systems. I’m sorry, but we didn’t think to put some dodo birds into a zoo.
People who believe we are part of a mass extinction today are playing to the culture of death that is contemporary liberalism. They won’t be happy until everybody is addicted to psychoactive drugs, suffers from clinical depression, has mutilated their body and, ultimately, has committed suicide.
Just to show you how cock-eyed the mass-extinctionists are, they bemoan the loss of the Rocky Mountain locust. Yes, it’s true, we haven’t had a locust swarm in this country for more than a century now. It is generally believed the end of locust swarms is due to our subjecting the east slopes of the Rocky Mountains to cattle grazing. Cattle grazing disrupt the irregular pattern of incubation of locust larvae that periodically gave rise to locust swarms.
Ending locust swarms is a good thing. Not a bad thing. Ditto ending or curtailing diseases such as malaria and yellow fever.
By converting most of the world into a garden, that formerly was mostly jungles, swamps, deserts and desolate prairies, we have made the world much more habitable for ourselves and the life forms that sustain us and give us joy; and, yes, this includes preserving bio-diversity in zoos, wildlife preserves and so forth.
