Ever since I joined this forum a few weeks ago,.. I have been wondering in what section, I could put this question. I have decided. It is the Environmental section.
I am 41, I have no children of my own. But my brother has one. I am concerned for my nephew,... in what kind of world he was put into.
I so vividly recall the 80-ties and early 90-ties. The newspaper were full with stories that overpopulation would be The Doom Of Humanity. It was the talk of the day,... back then.
But as the years progressed well into the deep 90-ties, the voices that warned about Human Overpopulation of this planet faded out,... and were replaced slowly but steadily by the voices that warned about global warming.
A new craze was born rapidly: "The hole in the Ozon Layer."
and as time progressed I saw the concern of Human Overpopulation never mentioned again. The environment suddenly became a new concern. Ow HORROR,... how to plug that darn freaking hole in the Ozon layer!
Cry Havoc,.... And Lets Slip The Dogs Of Environmental Issues!
Time progressed and it is now 2013. I have yet to see a media wide study presented to the world, of the real problem: Human Overpopulation.
Sure there have been studies presented... like... If the whole world had the energy consumption of the USA,... we would need 4 or 5 earth . Stuff like that. But to the core this is still environmental stuff. It DOES NOT concern itself with the basic problems.
I once heard a smart idea.... If all countries start spending their money not on armies and weapons,... but on education and better living condition for their populus,.. we would not have hunger or poverty and bad education. Well I do not know in what stupid world you live... But that is an idea which will never work in our current world or reality, with so many differences between countries and cultures. Save that idea for Eutopia,... a potential future.
Here is a website that has a counter of the current world population. I do not care about its accuracy,... fact is the earth's population DOES go up up up up up:
World Population Clock: 7 Billion People (2013) - Worldometers
Bah! Global Warming. That is a field of study much debated and contradicted.
In my honoust opinion it is utterly POINTLESS to just focus only on environmental issues,... if you do not worry about the real problem.
Why would I give a sh!t if I seperate paper, plastic, batteries and other electric appliances... if nothing is being done about the ever growing human populus on this planet? My personal efforts are completely NULLIFIED by the conitinous growth of the human population!
Get my point?
