| Dr.Grass said: Pretty predictable that most people said earth is already overpopulated. Too bad these people are all morons. EARTH ISN'T EVEN CLOSE to be being overpopulated. The main reason people think this to be the fact is because humans cram themselves into overpopulated cities and get a false impression about the world as a whole. There is more than enough space to live. There is more than enough space to cultivate food. There is more than enough stupidity to never achieve these things properly. |
A noble concept and indeed one I agree with but ultimately flawed.
There may be plenty of space to cultivate food but why are so many millions in the third world starving and food prices in the developed world rocketing? How are more people going to make this easier? I guess the answer would be better global management but so far this hasn't happened and I won't hold my breath.
Apart from food, for the past few decades North America, Parts of Europe and Japan were largely the major consumers of the world's resources. Some 800m people give or take.
Now with China and India adding a potential 2.5b to the mix with their rocketing economies these already strecthed resoures will be pulled even further.
Listening to certain politicians in the west some (if not scretly all) see a major conflict in the future between east and west over said resources.
I agree.
