There are 4 billion cases of diarrhoea causing 2.2 million deaths a year Yeah and studies like this just push that number higher.

This is the old familiar Litany of the doom - and - gloom environmentalist left, every point of which has been demolished in Lomborg's "The Sceptical Environmentalist" (as well as many times before).

The destruction of 70% of the natural world in 30 years, mass extinction of species, and the collapse of human society in many countries is forecast in a bleak report by 1,100 scientists published yesterday.So I guess the environmental movement has been a failure.
This time period coincides with the rise of radical environmentalism. It looks as though they are making things worse.
Is it possible that nature works best when humans don't try and manipulate it?

BS.
This kind of disaster will only come about if we abandon free markets and put let the collectivists run the show.
Angry, so angry....

There is a hidden gem in there, but noone has got to it yet.

"with 95% of people in the Middle East with severe problems "
How exactly, is this bad news.
To: Brett66
If you took all the thinkpieces that show the number of annual deaths due to environmental factors, global warming, handguns, secondhand smoke, obesity, and any other liberal agenda these puff-pieces choose to advocate, and ran the totals, I am quite certain that the world population would be decreasing, rather than showing the increases that are even cited in this report.

Well, why don't you just enlighten us, oh great Narcissistic one?!

The open Communist agenda of the Green movement becomes ever clearer.
They're not even using code words anymore.

Ø
In richer countries water and air pollution is down, species have been restored to the wild, and forests are increasing in size.
Ø 95% of people in the Middle East with severe problems and 65% in the rest of Asia and the Pacific.
Ø
security considerations dominate with fear of terror and mass immigration into rich areas.
Ø
in Iraq, because of bad irrigation practices, 30% of arable land has been abandoned because of salt contamination.
Ø In Latin America and the Caribbean, home of 25% of the world's forest cover and 178 regions of special biodiversity, the situation is already critical in 31 of them.
Finally, someone has the courage to stand up and say whats been obvious to me for years- The dusky hued, third world types are ruining the planet!

I, too, used to think third world overpopulation was a problem. However, I now understand that -- thanks to the libertarian-Democrat alliance -- the surplus six billion will all simply come here, and we early arrivers will mostly all get rich off low wage immigrant labor. So what's to worry?

Sounds to me like we're the example the rest of the world should be emulating, not condemning.
For any tree-uggers out there prepared to say "See! Is that how you want to leave the world for your grandchildren?", see "The Polulation Bomb" to see how the world should have looked in 1985.

This can't be true--according to the X-Files series finale, we're gonna be invaded in 2012.
