They said if properly irrigated, Africa could feed the entire world. That's like being slapped in the face with obvious bull shit. Even if it was possible, how the fuck did you plan on irrigating and farming the entire continent of Africa? Hey while you're at it, why don't you pull a magic jeanie out of your ass and make him make greenhouse gases disappear. Anybody want to farm the Sahara?? Fucking bull shit video!
Not the Sahara, and not the Congo either......and not even by removing existing cities and people, it means by irrigating existing arable farmland we could feed 7 billion people

it says we have eough to feed the world for the next 30 years
Quote:They say that war causes destruction of crops but do not address the fact that more starving people will create more wars.
population rates decrease as countries develop
Quote:They say that our world is so balanced at 2.1 kids but don't explain why we're growing at a rate of 1 billion people per dozen years or so.
the "rate" that the population increases, decreases over the years, eventually the rate could slowdown into the negative

Quote:I for one limited myself to one child (and only had one after much deliberation - I was originally planning on none), and have undergone voluntary sterilization.

DON'T!!! have as many kids as possible, don't beleive the hype, were going extinct!

Sorry, none of those responses gives any credence to that bull shit video. It glosses over so many issues that it cannot be taken seriously. Population growth may slow, it may not, but at this point it will never go in reverse without a massive disaster/war/pandemic. You're kidding yourself if you think that our population isn't directly related to global warming, and lets not forget about water shortages currently all over the globe. I'll see if I can find that article from National Geographic, one moment please.
