when we don’t believe them on anything else?”

Do you remember that book? The Population Bomb
Didn't happen.
Not one word of it was true.
Kinda like 'Global Warming'.
Not happening either...it's been getting colder for the last twenty years

  • Winter temperatures throughout the United States are in a 20-year cooling trend, defying alarmist global warming predictions and debunking claims that warmer winters are causing environmental catastrophe.

why do we believe ANYTHING those people say, and allow them to set public policy?
They've been proven wrong.....over and over and over.

The UN has become a joke. I wonder why the US keeps funding this disaster?

If it were up to me we would NOT be.

establishment 'facts' are becoming more and more dubious - about everything, tbh..

Yup, there was just a snow storm here the other night. It’s already April and I can’t get into my garden yet.

Their is no population bomb, many civilized societies birth rates are dropping. This planet can also handle many more people, but the whole system is designed on scarcity to drive fake economies.

I believe that 1st world countries are seeing reduction in birth rates due to the propaganda of the Population Bomb. Whether people are taught that they shouldn't have 10 kids like their grand parents did, that they should be "independent" and wait to start a family in the their 30s or that they just can't afford it due to taxes and costs added via UN policies and sneaky Non-Government Agency meddling.

Use it or loose it.
Fertility peaks in the twenties.

Ahhh come on man, that is such a downer. I hate when the truth invades on my fantasies of what is still possible in late middle age years

I have a two year old GRAND son...
the thought of me being his father and having to look after him?
as much energy as he has?
(shudder)...

Fun to have the grandkids visit, and also a sigh of relief when they go back home

even better when they do NOT visit...I go visit them.

actually I think that males and females are different.
(who'd a thunk?)
females peak fertility is in their twenties...after which there is a rapid decline.
males?
dunno...I've heard of 90+ year old fathers..

I am more apt to think it is a financial issue. When I was a kid a middle class family could raise several kids with one parent working, but not these days. If you are working 40 hours a week it is hard to raise several kids. You would have to make a fortune just to cover the daycare!

People are just getting more selfish in my opinion. No time for a kid. They get dogs now. It used to be 2.something kids per family now it's 2.something dogs.

“The way it is currently, with consumption and production, and with the ever-increasing population, the planet’s resources will not sustain unless something is done to change the way we treat our planet.”

where do you get your information?
how do you know there is an 'ever increasing population'?
what IS the population? How do you know that?
are your sources reliable?

I know that we have climate change, but Global Warming is a religion. Its followers meet all the criteria that make it a focus of worship. Climate change is happening and we are approaching a similar cooling trend that predicated the Dalton Minimum of 1790-1830.

Sunspots tell us how active/hot the sun is and has been used to predict climate change since Galileo in 1610. I wonder if the coolng trend we are seeing had anything to do with opening Anwar to oil exploration. We are moving into a global cooling trend and we will need more oil to stay warm. Do you think politicians are that smart? Or just a coincidence?

politicians in general are not very smart.
Trump is not a politician.
what if the approaching cool period is not a LITTLE ice age?
what are the probabilities?

Whatever the probabilities, there is nothing we can do about them. We can only prepare for them.

Those who think that there is no population explosion should visit India sometime...

when's the last time India has had a low population?

I think it's appropriate to remember this tweet from Donald Trump, a few days before the arrival of 2018:

He is not a politician, he can be a visionary or he is simply an intelligent person who knows how to interpret the information provided to him ...

I'd say he's an intelligent person...very much so.
Stupid people don't turn a few million dollars into billions..

Totally agree
