This is the same kind of crap I used to read in the 70’s.

Jimmy Carter II in the White House.

World Wildlife Fund reports that the sky is falling. In other news, water is still wet and grass is still green.

This is such a load of crap. I heard on Rush one day that if you moved everyone on the palent to Texas each person would have like a half acre to live on, which means the rest of the planet could be used to raise food.

I’d be willing to bet that the World Wildlife Fund at some point or the other has been a contributor to Planned Parenthood. Pseudo-academic hysteria bolstered by blind liberalism.

I’ve got it. We need SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT. Quick, call the U.N. and find out how we do that.

No convincing evidence for decline in tropical forests

Claims that tropical forests are declining cannot be backed up by hard evidence, according to new research from the University of Leeds.
This major challenge to conventional thinking is the surprising finding of a study published today in the Proceedings of the US National Academy of Sciences by Dr Alan Grainger, Senior Lecturer in Geography and one of the world’s leading experts on tropical deforestation.
“Every few years we get a new estimate of the annual rate of tropical deforestation,” said Dr Grainger. “They always seem to show that these marvellous forests have only a short time left. Unfortunately, everybody assumes that deforestation is happening and fails to look at the bigger picture – what is happening to forest area as a whole.”
In the first attempt for many years to chart the long-term trend in tropical forest area, he spent more than three years going through all available United Nations data with a fine toothcomb – and found some serious problems.
“The errors and inconsistencies I have discovered in the area data raise too many questions to provide convincing support for the accepted picture of tropical forest decline over the last 40 years,” he said. “Scientists all over the world who have used these data to make predictions of species extinctions and the role of forests in global climate change will find it helpful to revisit their findings in the light of my study.”

I’ve been listening to this crap since the 60’s. We’re all going to starve! Wait, we’re going to run out of water. Worse, we’ll be out of oil by 1977!

The only thing of which we seem to have an inexhaustible supply of are these buffoons, such as the WWF, claiming the end is nigh.

Saw an awesome web site that put the worlds population in one large city with the population density of Paris. It was only the size of texas.

Sorry, there is about 688,800,000 1/4 acres in Texas, so we would need to use a couple of more states.

Extrapolation beyond the data is a dangerous enterprise. That's why they call it the Future.

It's best to make predictions of the times after you expect to be dead so the folks with the torches and pitchforks can't get you.

I know this sort of thing is the darling of the left. but the reality is, that if we have one major disaster we could be burying billions.

Global Warming??? bogus...water vapor is the definitive greenhouse gas making CO2 nothing compared to it....(actually warming may make it possible to feed the billions.)

BUT....

....that does not alter the fact that there are WAY too many people on the planet.

more people alive now than all the people alive since the beginning to 1900.

I do not have a solution....but when and if a fall happens, it could be huge.
