When I was in grade school the population bomb was supposed to bring widespread famine and global chaos by the earl 1980’s. Didn't happen we had to wait for Obama for a real disaster.

We need more ethanol, don't need to feed no stinking peoples.

There's the solution of
vacations to Venus for leaders overly concerned about population growth.

"can we enjoy "sustainable development" on a very crowded planet?"
"Sustainable development" is a code phrase to advance the agenda of totalitarian worldwide government.
To: MinorityRepublican
So many gratuitous assertions...so little time.
To: MinorityRepublican
"Jeffrey Sachs says...humanity will greet the 7 billionth arrival this month...The consequences of a world crowded with 7 billion people are enormous."
Look around you, genius. Overpopulation isn't the problem. Citizens of the world--the only constituents favored by politicians--are the problem.

Or the obvious solution, six and a half billion

Actually the problem is even bigger: within the next 100 years 7 billion people will DIE, unless the government does SOMETHIN!

Folks shouldn't get so smug ~ at a minimum 4 billion people have no natural immunity to Yersinia pestis (Black Plague). Recently the entire genome of the bacteria that killed off one-third to half the people in Europe in the 1300s was derived from DNA left in the marrow of plague victims. It is not any different today than it was way back then.
Fortunately those who survived that period already had protective genes in place and those were passed on to us. Alas, those not living in Europe, the Middle East, North Africa, China or Central Asia were never affected by the Black Plague. We don't know if they are immune or not, but they probably aren't.
If something interfered with tetracycline production and distribution around the world the Plague would kill billions in just a few years.

Well Jeffrey D. Sachs, now is the time to be a good concientious citizen of the world, and do your duty! Remove thyself from the land of living at once!
What? You won't do it? That's a ridiculous suggestion?
Well then, so is the rest of your cracked up hypothesis!

And it wasnt so long ago that the Spanish Flu knocked off a few millions
Nature has a way of keeping the worlds population regulated it seems.
These liberals make me laugh - its their duty to take God’s business into their own hands.
