Everything in that is wrong. And yes, everyone still living is part of the problem. I guess this retard contingent is pretty solidified. |

Caveat #1: the fertility rate may be decreasing, but as the infant mortality rate is also decreasing, this reduces the significance of the reduction in fertility. Caveat #2: (Using the figures in Anteater's article and reading off my graph): If, in 1 A.D., 0.5 billion people had 6 children each = 3 billion new babies If in 2018, 7.5 billion people have 2.5 babies each = 18.75 billion new babies. Of course those birth totals aren't real statistics: I've made no adjustment for the number of fertile women per capita because I didn't want to get bogged down in math, but the trend of the figures is clear enough, I think.

Sorry, Anteater. I find your article very unconvincing but I'm too tired to refute its other points right now. |

I think there is an in between here that makes both of you kind of correct. IF we don't change things we are probably approaching capacity, but technology has a lot to offer so I don't think we have a good grasp of potential capacity with the use of technology not yet discovered, developed, or implemented.

https://www.wired.com/story/lab-grown-meat/ Everything you think you know about food production is going to be a thing of the past as early as the next decade. There's also hundreds of thousands of miles of land out there that will become habitable as biotech and our grasp on agricultural tech advances continue to evolve. These aren't pipe dreams, but an inevitable place we will arrive at based on where we are right now. And Lisna, I'm not disagreeing with your overall analysis (taken on its own with all other variables ignored), but beyond women who are infertile I don't see any info on mortality rates, statistics related to deaths caused by disease, etc. etc. You have to factor those things in, along with paradigm shifts in biotech and whatever else is going on out there that you haven't factored in. |

Run some math by you: 7 billion people eat more fish than 5 billion 5 billion people eat more fish than 1 billion 1 billion people eat more fish than 50 million 1 person = 1 consumer of resources 7 billion people = 7 billion consumers of resources 7,000,000,000 > 1 Quote:
5 Billion people use more plastic than 1 Billion The reason there’s so much plastic in the ocean is because billions of people use plastic products. Bears and elephants don’t use plastic. It simply must be the people. How hard do you have to ****ing think about it to get that more people use more ****? Is this really something that people have to be taught? |

Game changer boi, game changer. We're only a few years away from some variant of the enzyme discussed here being used by governments and corporations with gusto. And it'll be profitable, which means it will be used in earnest on those dastardly plastics. |
