The solution to population growth and overpopulation is simple:

Marry only ugly people.

The Left's Global Warming Solution: No More Children! - HUMAN EVENTS



Grace and Peace

[ETWolverine]

People, people, people! You have all missed one very important point:

The adaptability of human beings to changes in their environments.

Humanity is the most adaptable creature on Earth. As a species, we can survive in any environment and change quickly to adapt to the environment as it changes.

I don't buy the idea that overcrowding is a major issue, because we will adapt to overcome the problem of overcrowding. Nor do I believe that global warming is a particular issue, even if it is real, because again we will adapt to our environment and survive as a speceis.

The doomsday scenarios put forth by the over-population crowd are no different from the doomsday scenarios put forth by the global warming crowd. There is no basis in science for any of it. It is all based on models, projections, and assumptions that vary widely from historical evidence.

All this talk of population control is ridiculous. The majority of the land mass and natural resources of this planet have not yet been used. There is plenty of room for population expansion. We have the technology to adapt any environment to our needs, including deserts, jungles, swamps, mountains, etc. should the need arise. We are not in any danger of overpopulating the Earth any time in the next several thousands years.

Stop worrying so much and just relax a little.

Maybe the solution is to revisit the ideas propounded by Jonathan Swift in dealing with overpopulation and poverty in Ireland? His ideas were expressed in 1729, but just because the idea is old, doesn't mean it's not valid.

Growing and providing food to countries with exploding populations has been blamed as a significant contributor to global warming, and if the populations are decreased, then the populations would also consume less fuel. Just a thought.

Hundreds of years ago, war and natural disasters would have naturally control this imbalance. Today, China needs to adopt polygamy, one woman marrying multiple husbands. :D

That is allowed in Mongolia. One woman will often marry multiple men. I saw that on Discovery channel recently. Those poor, poor women. I have enough trouble nagging one husband to death. I couldn't imagine having to nag five!

Those poor men. They won't get it too often, especially, if the wife is prone to having headaches.

You have that correct, paraclete. OVERPOPULATION is the world's number one problem. I have been saying that since the 1980's... **reckelss overpopulation**.

China is very scary... one fifth of the world's population speaks Chinese language dialects. They are over one billion people. Their rapid industrialization creates horrific air pollution from coal burning factories, etc.

I'll just leave it at that.

Many, many human beings are not interested in reality and responsible action toward our planet.

I saw a man on television last night who wrote a book on what it will be like after all the human beings die off on earth. Interesting! I wish I could remember the name of the book; I want to read it. It is remarkable how quiclky man made buildings will disappear.
