May 16, 2025May 16 Just a thought about overpopulation… my opinion, Earth is WILDLY overpopulated by humans… 1 or 2 billion of us would be just fine. Life is precious… but it’s not only about human lives. Homo Sapiens is such an invasive species! We have gotten ourselves out of Nature. We behave like the reckless entitled Earth’s owners. We’re already 8 billion people. We’ve contaminated, endangered or destroyed most habitats. Humans cause “habitats losses” & contamination which are primary causes of flora and wildlife extinction. We are so invasive & reckless… But Capitalism needs overpopulation… cheap and qualified labour to keep going … and sustain the system and its economics. The low birth rate is scary for the US, Russia, China and even the EU which need ever more immigration to prop up the Welfare State. Feeding the ugly beast (capitalism and its elite beneficiaries) is more important than Earth sustainability. Is Earth 🌎 only meant to belong to humans and their pets? Earth should be shared with all the living world in a sustainable way. Let’s not forget that (we all of us know it)… Earth 🌍 would do just fine without Homo Sapiens,

Hello Billy Gates yes there is a bit of a population "problem" but you are solving it by dimming the sun,slashing fertiliser and farmlands, GMO food ,mosquitoes as flying syringes and mandated "vaccination" so it will all go to plan. 1 billion of the chosen can inherit the earth. 🤮

May 16, 2025May 16 Popular Post Humans are full of themselves and aren't even on top of the food chain ... without weapons. Truly insignificant. Planet is fine with or without them. When they need a reminder how weak they are, Mother Nature stirs things up, just so the don't forget, humans will always be at the planet's mercy. At anytime, human existence could end, while other creatures would live on. Life existed before humans, and will after they self destruct. To the OP ... without capitalism, humans would be F'd. If everyone was a LPOS, you'd all be homeless & starving. The top 10% provide for the bottom 90% The top 1%, control 95% of the wealth, and without them, their would be no order to things.

They are the key drivers, Human numbers started exploding 10,000 years ago when we first learnt to farm. Very simply put the more food we were able to produce the more kids we had. Disease, famine and war reduced that growth. If by capitalism you mean medicine and fertilizer then yes.

Direct your anger at the media for convincing yourself that your country is the problem and not the third world
May 16, 2025May 16 Popular Post Totally agree! Overpopulation is more than real and the worst thing that ever happened to the world and humanity. it blows my mind that very few talk about it, or care…. So weird. All the issues and trouble we’re facing are due to overpopulation. No more space, anywhere liveable. Noise, chaos. no more empathy and care between people. Traffic, stupid unecesseray competition for jobs, housing ect it’s so obvious, its the elephant in the room. When people will realize ? Asia is so overpopulated, crowded, suffocating. All the issues lies there. Not reasonable. No ones win now, all loose. We destroy ourselves by the numbers.

Thats where the overpopulation is happening. Your news source doesnt talk about that
May 16, 2025May 16 The world is far from over populated, as little of the planet if fully utilized. People are just too ignoranat, stupid or lazy to even provide for themselves and be happy. Yea, I don't have a whole lot of respect for the human race. People living where they don't want, working a job they don't like, and even in a relationship, they can't figure out how get out of. Some can't even control their habits, addictions, whether food, alcohol/drugs, cigs, as their health deteriorates right in front of them Tell themselves, it's a disease, instead of simply having a bit of self respect, exercising minimal effort and living the life they want. I'm a uneducated, LPOS, and even I figured out the basics to be happy and enjoy life. Everyone blaming everything and everyone else for problems of the world, and themselves, without simply looking in the mirror. That's where they'll find the problem, and the solution.
May 16, 2025May 16 There is lots of room but is it live able? Should people move to those places and keep the good soil for growing food? 4 billion people are living in the yellow zone on the map the other 4 billion are scattered all over. There is no need to move to space,if all of that money was directed to fix the problems here the earth would be a lot better off. within the next 20 years or so we will be over the hump and less people will inhabit the earth. The time of constant growth will be behind us. What will that mean to economies? More or less jobs? I think a lot less.

May 16, 2025May 16 According to Ms Google, here's a few numbers that may surprise people ... ... About 10-15% of the Earth's land surface is directly occupied by human settlements and infrastructure (cities, towns, etc.). ... much larger portion, around 50-60%, is impacted or used by humans in some form, including agriculture, forestry, and other land uses. ... estimates suggest that about 20-40% of the Earth's surface is still in relatively good condition and has not been significantly affected by human activity. @Maxbkkcm ... Humans account for a tiny fraction of the total biomass on Earth, around 0.01%, according to 'Our World in Data' That just exposed land mass, as a whole other world under water, and that's 71% of the planet, with oceans being 96% of the water coverage.

They are the key drivers, Sorry, but I disagree; the main problem is uncontrolled birthrates in countries not practicing contraception. I did some research about 6 years ago, and these are just some of the numbers from then. China population 1950 - 551,960,000 China population 2017 - 1,386,000,000 …increase circa 150% India population 1951 - 361,088,000 India population 2017 - 1,339,180,127 …. increase circa 267% Brazil population 1950 - 51,944,000 Brazil population 2017 - 208,862,818 …..increase circa 301% UK population 1950 - 50,127,000 UK population 2017 - 65,648,000 …….. increase circa 31% That's without looking at sub-Saharan Africa, where the average marriage is producing a family of 10 children. This is also the biggest threat to global warming, for those that believe man made CO2 emissions are to blame; the more people, the more food needed, so more electricity, gas, cars, consumables, gasoline etc, etc, etc.

May 16, 2025May 16 Popular Post Some years ago, there was a research and report made by a bunch of scientists in different fields in regard of the human overpopulation. They came to the conclusion that the optimal human population number should be between 1 and 2 billion, without much effect on the Earths ecology. 2 billion, according to the report was the maximum population number. To put it into perspective, the human population between 1950 and 1960 was in the range of 2.5 to 3 billion. So, 2 billion would be the pre-WW2 numbers. The report also highlighted the very uneven population distribution, with largest population growth in Asia and Africa, mostly in developing counties, while what we call the Western countries experienced the decline in the native population. There was a side note, that the church, specifically the Catholic church, bears a large responsibility for the population increase with their anti-condom and other contraceptive usage stance. Unfortunately, I’ve lost the link to this.
May 17, 2025May 17 Overpopulated possibly but the fact is that it seems like that from everyone living in the same cities etc. Only about 3% of the world's land is urban living areas.
