(26,395 posts)They said the same thing 30 years, that we've be already long dead and gone years before now, due to over-population.
It is knocking on the door (Mother Nature) but it hasn't happened yet. After all, creatures in the past created all of the oxygen we breath today. I give the human race a little more credit in pushing these so called limits on overpopulation beyond these so called existing limits. Better knowledge, technologies, and just plain common sense (mostly good hopefully) will allow us to overcome these limits...and take destiny into our hands. The collective good of all Americans (ALL of us) has enabled us to move beyond a lot of old barriers...we question outlandish religious beliefs such as one showing that the rapture would happen in 1844, etc.
Sure there's going to be those who believe that climate change is not real, and so forth. But these numbers are getting smaller and smaller, as more evidence piles up proving that climate change is real. For republicans and their supporters, it is getting harder and harder to come up w/ anything proving that climate change is not
real and happening. Common sense and actual evidence will actual force us to change...logic never seems to win in some cases, especially w/ political nuts in power.
