    I think world wide we need a population decline to reduce global warming but you also need a population to keep a culture alive

      Leaders don’t really care about the culture. The current economic and financial system need growth and most growth comes from increasing population. That’s their real concern.

      No question the world is struggling with 9 billion people, and developed world is using excessive amount of resources.

      The rigid definition of “countries” may stand in the way of a more collaborative world though.

        Part of the problem is developing nations are playing catchup and create a lot of pollution. I wouldn’t mind spending some tax money to help them skip straight to green energy.

        Pretty sure that the current construct of nations is not well equipped to face any of global challenges.

      Careful. The last time I suggested that we needed fewer people in the world, I was accused of being a Eugenicist.

        Tankies consider any form of population control to be a form of eco fascism. Evangelicals feel pretty much the same.

        I mean, because it’s not true.

        We have more than enough resources to feed everyone on earth. We have the land, we have the money to pay the farmers, we have the infrastructure to transport it anywhere in the world easily and quickly. The issue we’re having isn’t too many people, but a small group of people utilizing multiples of the energy they need, and dozens of multiples of the energy of the masses of the world.

        Two different concepts but we can’t support a growing world population. It consumes to many resources and that causes global warming.
