Scientists say planet in midst of sixth mass extinction, Earth's wildlife running out of places to live

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.

The elites seem to only judge by what they see, and most of them live in large, metropolitan areas. When are big cities not crowded? Isn’t that the norm for that type of location?

Meanwhile, it’s another day of extremely loud explosions at the beaver dam at the spring end of the lake here. The dam-buster guy seems to be using more explosives every day he had to shoot at them. Apparently there is no lack of busy beavers in this area.

None of these experts have driven over my mountain around 11pm, apparently.

It’s 15 minutes of “let’s play dodge the wildlife”.

So many people are moving to Florida there is no reason to doubt this story. Every where you look there’s building after building going on. I do wish our governor would please not tell people to come here. I see Florida as the next California, if we get a liberal governor. Not all coming are conservatives. Three houses here just sold on my street, all three were bought by liberals. Coyotes are taking over the neighborhoods these days. And there’s no woods around where they come out of. The only thing half resembling a woods in my neighborhood is a 5 acre abandoned golf course.

India represents 2% of the earth’s land area. In 700 AD, the population of India was 400 million. So, even with primitive agriculture, the world can support many more people than it does today.

I remember 20 yrs ago there was a lot of fear on FR about Florida going “blue” as people from the northeast moved in. Obviously the Bush/Gore election was very close. But so far it seems to be going the other direction.

This is the kind of BS that appeals to ignorant, arrogant urban dwellers with very little travel or life experience and a basic ignorance of history and the basic underpinnings of the Earth's biosphere and of our technical society.

I thought evolution was all about adaptation.

The earth’s wildlife needs to adapt to its new environment, and in fact they have been.

Earth’s biomass is estimated to be:

545.2 gigatons

this is larger than the biomass at the time we humans came upon the scene

but, you know the way liberals are, the sky is falling, we’re all gonna die, how dare you

99.9% of the species that ever existed are extinct.

It’s called “evolution.”

Mass extinctions occurred all at once from events such as a meteor strike

I live in the largely unpopulated West.

The Biden administration is changing that, bringing in millions of illegal Mexicans and other illegal aliens. If liberals were concerned about overpopulation, they wouldn't be stuffing more humans into the USA.

Humbug. The fact is that global population growth curve is beginning to flatten out and will begin to decline long before it hits any mythical β€œcarrying capacity.”
