I am not a scientist nor data analyst, but we saw a massive decrease in population from 1914 until 1945 with two World Wars. There was a surge in population after 1945 to essentially replace lost populations. We are now in the beginning stages of a decline in population. In part because we do not need an increase in populations and in part because of technology and pharmaceuticals. People like Gates do not trust nature to manage populations so he wants to off as many people as possible, or so it seems every time he talks about it.

Not to worry;

The WEF is going to help out the WWF by getting rid of 7.5 billion people

There’s research out there that shows every human being alive could have an acre of land and occupy a landmass about the size of Texas and parts of the Midwest. No other humans anywhere, just there. This idea that we are running out of room is absolutely ludicrous.

Oh God!

Not more scientist.

We need more like that Tyson guy. He knows everything about everything because he is a scientist.

We could also create a carosel and get rid of people.

In terms of geological time past extinctions seemed to be sudden. But in human terms, each “mass extinction” happened gradually over thousands of years. The meme that we are in a “sixth mass extinction” is pure sci-fi stuff calculated to scare people. Or make a good netflix movie.

Essentially.

I’d rather forage/hunt in the woods than live in a city.

They seem to be bent on destroying the quality of life of every American citizen.

Who’s going to want to eat Soylent Green made from liberals? No amount of processing is going to make them palatable.

When human population grow too large for the Earth to sustain?

Hand out sterilizing pills to the latest 5 million say it’s a vitamin they get it first and work from there.

God loves souls. The devil hates souls. The devil wants to minimize the number of souls who love Him and love other people.

Though raised Catholic, the science fiction authors in the early 70s helped convert me to...well not atheism but definitely not Christian. Population Bomb (Erlich),Future Shock (Toffler), Arthur C. Clarke and science fiction helped me along the road to leave the Church. I was 12 or 13 when this started and it was fairly short lived but even a few years did damage.

That people suck this stuff up as adults saddens me. If you told them you could feed 5 billion people by irrigating the Sahara, for example, they’d rather see the desert remain in its ‘natural’ state and the people never be born or provided for. Gaia is their religion. I have a sibling like this.

These movements are never altruistic, they originate from hate and envy of the rest of the population. All the leftists I know are misanthropes though they pretend otherwise.

It’s not land area. It’s food and water.

So what do you think is the carrying capacity of Planet Earth? A trillion people?

There has to be an upper limit. Put out a number.

I have flown my plane all over the United States. I've also ferry delivered Sea Planes, which you only fly a few thousand feet above the rivers and lakes. There is not much in this country once you're outside the corridors of our cities and coasts. One night flying from Quantico to Carlotte, NC I had a Crack develop in a cylinder. I reduced manifold pressure and RPM on that engine and filed for Winston Salem in the air for emergency repairs. There was not one street light, parking lot, or town as I headed for Winston Salem. About 200 miles of black nothingness.

The amount of unpopulated undisturbed land in this country is staggering.

We’re always on the brink of extinction from something. Now we’re back to the “Population Bomb”? What happened to the hole in the Ozone, the new Ice Age, and Global Warming? I don’t know whether to buy more winter clothes, get new swim trunks and scuba gear, or put sun screen on wheat fields and guard them with a shotgun. Make up your mind already!

By the way I think Elon Musk poked them in the eyes with his statements about the Earth being able to carry a much greater population, and that the birthrate drop is unfortunate.

That is their most important commandment, limit the number of people, so I hope that is a sign of him being 180 degrees from anything sinister or NWO.

I’m worried about Mexico. It will be completely empty pretty soon!

You could fit every human in the world into the state of Texas with about 100 sq meters per person (including kids and babies).

I’ve seen pictures of downtown sidewalks in San Francisco, LA, and numerous other Democrat-run cities - plenty of wildlife there, with room for even more.
