Largest economies in the world by GDPWhat does this graph represent ?
I suggest everyone worried about the global population exploding watch the following lecture.
It is almost an hour long, but trust me - it's actually both entertaining and informative:
It would take an actual apocalyptic event.When I was a kid I got very upset about deforestation. I was informed by everybody who ‘understood’ that I was worrying over nothing.
When raw effluent and garbage was being dumped in the ocean , an esteemed British expert ridiculed concerns, pointing out “the oceans are boundless”.
I have been observing population growth over the last 60 years, and sure enough, we will reach 8 billion exactly when predicted.
I am so over all these conservative voices of reason telling everyone to ‘calm down, nothing bad is happening’.
The oceans are full of plastic.
Fish stocks are disappearing.
The Amazon jungle is being cleared at a rate of a football field every five seconds. It is on fire. That is 20% of the world’s oxygen. OXYGEN !
The same thing is happening in Siberia.
Insect numbers have dropped 75% in the last 30 years.
There is a mass extinction taking place.
What does it take before people realise we are in an apocalyptic emergency ?
Firstly, Hans Rosling wasn't a Conservative.When I was a kid I got very upset about deforestation. I was informed by everybody who ‘understood’ that I was worrying over nothing.

We are collectively hardwired to respond to the real thing actually happening. Then we act.
I think this is far more helpful and realistic than calling for a mass cull.
You don't have to employ conspiracy theories. We didn't have a pandemic for quite some time. It's over due and it will come. It always has.Because there is no other option as far as I can see.
The elites must surely have something in mind.
A horror of biblical proportions.
The survivors will be too traumatised to function if the cull is obviously orchestrated by the elites. So... maybe a fake alien invasion ?
The problem isn't what you think it is. It's not people wanting to eat, it's people wanting to drive cars, have heated or air conditioned homes, smart phones, TVs and refrigerators.The thesis isn't "There is no problem", it's "The problem isn't what you think it is, and there are actually things we can do to minimize - if not entirely eliminate - the problem".

He doesn't say that overpopulation isn't a problem. He is explaining that the actual causes of overpopulation aren't what people think, and that there are things put in place that are already minimizing the potential problem.I didn’t call for a mass cull. I did suggest it may be a solution chosen by the elites.
I have seen the arguments saying that overpopulation isn’t a problem.
Then what flaws do you see in his arguments?I find them as believable as the assurances that we won’t see global deforestation or large scale pollution of the oceans.
Or global warming and climate change.

No worries. I do strongly recommend you watch it if/when you get a chance, though. It is genuinely interesting and entertaining, and I would like to see more responses to it.I don’t have sufficient data right now to watch a one hour video.
