Where do you stand on climate change?

RE: Where do you stand on climate change?

And you would be 'okay?' or 'content?' with that?

Quote:Err, becuase there are about 5.5 billion too many people on the Earth. So a basic example. The Earth is a certain size, hence can only supply a certain amount of resources. The human population continues to grow and dosen't look like slowing down. It is basic maths. There will not be enough resources to sustain us all.....
I don't know where you got that number from...

And interestingly, our food stocks continue to grow (and don't look like slowing down). It is basic math... as there is more food: there can be a larger population. Thus there has been enough food to sustain our population to at least the point it is currently at. With our advancing agricultural technology, as well as the great deal of resources that are not tapped into providing sustenance for the human population of Sol IV... I don't see such a severe crash as 5.5 billion occurring solely out of a lack of available food stores happening. Perhaps if the entire world were to enter into an apocalyptic religion inspired nuclear war over this (which is so unlikely I'm not sure why I'm mentioning it, except as an example of how a lack of food might be a primary cause for the death of 5.5 billion humans out of a population of 7 billion)... then 5.5 billion humans might die.

But a lack of food will only pressure more funds into researching better ways to make food and more food generated by capitalism trying to capitalize upon a needed resource.

Quote:Do what ever they please and have no control over their own instincts.
Like anyonething whothat hasn't 'achieved?' Nirvana?
Please give me a home where cloud buffalo roam
Where the dear and the strangers can play
Where sometimes is heard a discouraging word
But the skies are not stormy all day
