Seems no one has crossed that off the books yet. Let's just face it, humans, because of their extra-ordinary gifts, are the most dangerous, destructive, greedy, and pervasive and invasive species. Even to ourselves. Natural law tolerates imbalance (surface nuisance) over long periods of time, but imbalance on a global scale eventually leads to global correction. And that is already beginning to happen. And it's going to get much worse. As Carlin said; "pack your bags folks, we're going away"
It seems there is a natural impetus that countries with high death rate also have a high birth rate. More off- spring, greater chance for survival of the species.
You see the dilemma. Zero growth will happen, whether we like it or not. This does not necessarily mean an exact formula, but when we reach the stage where the earth can no longer sustain the damage we do to it, bad things will happen. Florida today is just a hint of what is to come. How many people have been displaced so far and will they ever be able to go back. Migration is already starting. Wait until wars for living space break out.
May be the population growth will provide a solutionPlease Register or Log in to view the hidden image!
Obviously you haven't watched the Bartlett clip. (post # 15) Remember one fact, anything with a growth rate of just 1 % will double every 70 years. And that is at an exponential rate, IOW, At 1% growth starting today @ 7.5 billion, 15 billion, 30 billion, 60 billion, 120, 240, 480 billion etc. every 70 years (1 lifetime). World Population Clock - Worldometers Today growth rate is ~ 1.1 %,
welcome large asteroids into our atmosphere, instead of trying to prevent them. nra. arm everyone. encourage it as the conservatives do.
