Over-populated planet?

[armybloke]

Worth pondering if nothing else! My take on this is that there are too many people on the planet for it to be able to sustain itself - China's policy of one child per family is not as harsh as it was once thought.........over to you

Hugely overpopulated. Perhaps even Indira Gandhi's attempt at compulsory sterilisation my be seen in the future as farsighted.

He is in America talking about immigrants ? He is not a native American so he is from immigrant stock.

Anybody watching Utopia at the moment? World wide mass sterilization introduced by a shady group through a fake vaccine for an introduced flue epidemic to reduce world population numbers and reduce the pressure on fossil fuels and the earths resources....

medical advances have made the world what it is today.

 

in 1900 there were almost 2.5 billion people in the world and only 100 years later we've just about tripled it.

 

we've wiped out some killer diseases and vaccinated against the rest of the bad ones reducing their effect on the human population.

 

a little disease can go along way in my opinion.

 

i recently learned that the war 100 years ago got rid of about 3 million people which was pretty bad.

 

that's nothing, the disease they called spanish flu was reputed to have killed up to 100 million people all over the world.

 

the advances in medical science have curbed events like that because swine flu is a descendant of the very same disease but supposed to be worse and only hundreds of thousands were killed rather than millions.

 

 

it will take a natural event like starvation due to the overpopulation or a disease that we can't cure spreading like wildfire to take us back down to 2-3 billion again.

I've just finished watching Series 2 and I've enjoyed it. I found it amusing that a show is at the least bringing light to a problem that we will face in the not too distant future.

 

Have you seen the Georgia Guidestones?

Agreed, then we could rebuild Westminster and fill it full of people that might (thats a BIG might) represent us.
