It's easy to blame Religeon for people's failings, but people have to take responsibility for their own actionsReligion interferes less in people’s private lives in more recent times but not so long ago it’s power and influence was immense.
Careful, you'll be accused of encouraging great suffering and mass extermination. ?Everyone seems to worry about this planet, long term we are just another species. The planet will do just fine once we're not on it, it doesn't need us to continue. Nature always sorts itself out in the end.
Like I said, I can provide references for you, if you request it and promise to read/watch it. Otherwise I'm not wasting my time digging it up again. It all shows that the birth rate has stabilised on average worldwide to maintenance level [2.1 children per women or less] but that it is the people already born and grown up that will inevitably and unavoidably increase the total population through altering the shape of the population age pyramid. That's you and me, not children born today. It is obvious that you do not understand this.
Yes, isn’t it disgustingly cruel to humans.In some ways there are currently better standards for animals than there are for humans.
Ill people are allowed to suffocate and starve to death, often being kept alive in total misery, yet you'd put in jail for doing that to an animal.
I can provide references from real scientists if you like, not television presenter who may not even disagree with population statistics that have proven remarkably accurate in their forecasts over half a century. You obviously haven’t bothered to look at the link provided by someone else a few posts ago, or you would know this. Either that or it is completely above your head. Which is it? Currently and on the evidence of the contents of your recent posts, I’d say both. You can’t be bothered to read the evidence because you don’t understand it. If so, I can provide a very graphic reference that makes it plain in relatively simple terms. Should you want to understand.Just ask and you will be enlightened by a most interesting chap and presentation. Sadly he is no longer with us, despite his hopes of a longer life as expressed in his presentation.I prefer to listen to the likes of Sir David Attenborough who you seem to think is a senile old fool who knows nothing so I don't think we will ever agree.
Both I and Sir David have lived a long time and I can be sure of one thing, life is uncertain and when you think you know how things are going to turn out, it will throw you a wobbly!

But if things are as sustainable as many seem to suggest, then there's no problem with the increase in population.
I mentioned in previous posts that Africa would continue to grow, and the reasons for it. Poverty and a high child mortality rate mostly. As you see, Asia will grow for a few more years before the population declines significantly from 2050 on.
Indeed. His words reverberate around my head. The felling of rain forests is a tragedy and unnecessary if the western worlds wasted production was consumed by the poorer countries where growing crops is more challenging. As I think he said, Africa could be self sufficient but the shear amount of water they would need to pump to grow food would be enormous. No doubt man is having an impact on the planet and we should set an example but unless and until countries like a China stop burning fossil fuels then we are only going to scratch the surface. My concern is that the Downing Street mob will regulate us to the limit but turn a blind eye to cheap imports whatever the product produced in a car less sustainable way. Packham was on the Beeb last night so more exposure to his personal views. As I’ve said before minorities have a bigger voice than the established practice, Therein lies the challenge. For sure we will have to change our behaviour but I am just not sure how this will actually play out in this modern consumer “I must everything today” worldI prefer to listen to the likes of Sir David Attenborough who you seem to think is a senile old fool who knows nothing so I don't think we will ever agree.

So you don't wish to understand. Fair enough. I knew it all along of course.Ah! You are relying on experts. In that case, you must be right!
At what point in history has the population of the UK been declining? On the other hand, not much point in asking the question as some will never learn from history but prefer to sit contemplating their crystal balls and navels.

Don’t believe what? Since you haven’t a clue and have no wish to understand, you’re opinion is absolutely worthless. Best kept to yourself so as not to show yourself up.It is not a matter of understanding but of accepting the opinions of others. I don't believe it. So there!?
Attenborough made his millions and got his knighthood by flying thousands of miles around the world ....he wasn't very worried about the environment then !!I prefer to listen to the likes of Sir David Attenborough who you seem to think is a senile old fool who knows nothing so I don't think we will ever agree.

I am not in the least het up. I offered to provide you with the information, but you continue to decline, prefering to argue the toss. As always I find such behaviour very amusing and help you to dig as deep a hole as befits the circumstances. I find dealing with such blatant voluntary ignorance great fun.I understand perfectly well what you are saying.
I do find it rather amusing that you get so het up when someone you have never met and don't know chooses to disagree with you!
