Might this just be a matter of poll parroting? I just don't buy into the premise at all. I also don't buy into the premise that this world has limited resources. Alternatively, I see there is tremendous, unharnessed resources.

As long as the sun shines & the wind blows, we have energy... who even knows what other potentials exist that may be hidden? We also have technology to turn sewer water (river water, even sea water) into drinkable water.

The vast majority of the earth's land surface is uninhabited.

That's my take. I think that we live in a world of abundance, unrecognized, untapped and certainly we are very uneducated about the matter.

Gosh it's a beautiful night!

Amen, dear EpiphaMe, amen!

Greetings to all in peace!

Here is a major update from Earth Policy Institute - before i rush to my work!:-)


Earth Policy News - PEOPLE IN ACTION: Spreading the Plan B Vision‏

Briefly:
"The spirit of change is in the air as President Obama has taken office and is working for solutions to the problems facing America. He has called for mobilization in all communities to help remake the country.

One of the challenges the United States, and indeed the world, is facing right now is how to alleviate the mounting pressures on the environment, including climate change, dependence on oil, and the exploitation of natural resources. As Earth Policy Institute President Lester Brown says, “It depends on you and me, on what you and I do to reverse these trends.”

We have highlighted people who, inspired by Lester Brown and Earth Policy Institute, are taking action to build a better future for generations to come. Visit www.earthpolicy.org/Books/Reaching.htm for more examples.


*Seeing Plan B 3.0 as an inspiring, comprehensive blueprint for saving civilization, Colin Grant and his team at Vancouver, Canada-based software firm Visible Strategies have brought the book to life with their unique, visually-engaging SEE-IT software. Their interactive multimedia presentation allows users to quickly and clearly see the goals and strategies outlined in Plan B 3.0. See http://epi.visiblestrategies.com."

APPENDIX.

'CRUSADE AGAINST OVERPOPULATION': MATTER OF FACTS - FACTS OF THE MATTER.


PART ONE.


Mankind on Earth has always tried to fight an old ill with a new one; but, truthfully, this path is leading to man's final destruction.
The scenario may be compared to a debt that grows immeasurably to the point where it can no longer even be paid, as is the case when an individual goes into debt and attempts to pay it off by going further into debt, only to furnish security for this debt by incurring an even greater debt.
The same holds true when humankind on Earth fights old ills with new ones. Yet humanity on Earth frequently acts and thinks completely illogically, which is why it attempts contrary to reason to eliminate an old ill by introducing a newly contrived, newly produced one. This is illogical in every way.

When an energy source becomes depleted, man on Earth simply plans and builds new, more powerful nuclear, oil, coal and hydro power plants. He does this regardless of the fact that through the utilization of these very same nuclear power plants, as well as the petroleum- and coal power plants, he immensely pollutes the environment even further.
Additionally, nuclear radiation may leak from atomic power plants, thereby endangering all terrestrial life. Moreover, these new energy sources will have become partially outdated already, or inadequate, upon completion over a 3-7 year construction period. Furthermore, these plants tend not to meet the new energy demands because, very likely, birth rate increases have not remained stable during construction periods.

Indeed, it is likely that overpopulation has busily escalated over this same period. Hundreds of millions of people are born worldwide during the construction phase of a power plant and, of course, these millions of newborn human beings once again will require additional energy. It is obvious also that the incessant increase in the Earth's population is sending the demand for energy into an upward spiral.

Because of these tremendous energy demands, the earth must be exploited at an ever increasing speed. As a result, ever more nuclear power plants, along with other types of power plants, must be constructed and put into service, thereby increasingly endangering and destroying all life forms.

Other sources of endangerment and destruction to the planet and all life yet exist, e.g., the unscrupulous use of chemicals, the American HAARP project in Alaska, nuclear testing and the commercial use of atomic bombs for the creation of lakes, waterways and subterranean expanses to be used as storage areas for rubble, sewage, solid waste and nuclear waste products. Mention must also be made of the clearing of rain forests and the burning of forests to criminally access parcels of land for construction sites, etc. Additionally, there are criminal sport activities which depend on combustion engines that burn gas, alcohol, gasoline or diesel oil, to name but a few.


It is an idiosyncrasy of the Earth human beings, due to their unreasonable and purely materialistic thinking processes, to think and act inappropriately in almost every matter.
They act illogically in many ways as well, and as a result, they do so also with respect to the problem of hunger throughout the world. They create numerous humanitarian organizations in order to collect funds, food and other goods to help the starving and suffering population. Yet, all the while, they manage on one hand to legally siphon off 40% of the collected funds into their own pockets as expenses and, on the other hand, they abet, advance and tolerate the overpopulation explosion problem.

Through these ostensibly humane acts, though truthfully inhumane acts of destruction, the suffering of humankind on Earth is not diminished and the problems of hunger are not being resolved. Instead, suffering and hunger continue to grow to even greater levels. Misunderstood charity and humanitarianism, as well as their subsequently misdirected assistance, are all primarily spawned by a totally false humanitarianism.
As a rule, such false humanitarianism originates from the influence of religions, sectarianism and other false teachings, none of which are love, charity and humanitarianism.

In fact, such false teachings spawn even greater and more difficult problems than those already in existence. Irresponsible and without a single thought to actual matters of truth, without true commitment or respect for life and the fulfillment of the natural-Creative laws and directives, many people carelessly give "relief", thereby furthering this "non-aid" and the destruction of life even more.
Not only misunderstood sympathy and sectarian influences play a major role in this scenario, but also the fact that many people cling to such "relief campaigns" in order to calm their own guilty consciences for being more prosperous in some way.
These people fail to realize that they and their countrymen have earned this higher standard of living in the civilized country where they live, mainly by keeping population growth figures low or at least on a more reasonable level than peoples of so-called underdeveloped countries.
People in the underdeveloped nations carelessly and irresponsibly procreate like guinea pigs or rabbits, only to starve afterwards and shout for help. They lack real help in the format of a birthrate control.


Wherever possible, false humanitarians donate goods and funds to "Bread for Brothers", "Hunger Throughout the World" and similar programs. They have no idea that in so doing they are acting against reason and are interfering in nature's work which ultimately defends itself through famines. Likewise, they may not want to hear of such things.
Starving people are procreated by the hundreds and millions through sympathy that is contrary to nature's ways, and a charity that results from false humanitarianism.
Through a voluntary or forcibly decreed birthrate check these happenings could be avoided. Through the excess of the great human mass, mankind's problems are continuously increasing, and it must suffer privation and begins to slowly destroy faunal and floral life along with the planet itself.

Once the starving people have been saved from a death of starvation, they become well nourished, healthy and robust once again, and immediately begin through the lack of information regarding birth control to procreate in an uncontrolled manner by having children in large numbers that amount to many millions each year. Not only does this procreation immediately create further problems of hunger and energy demands, but it also leads to medical, spatial and financial problems, to name but a few.
Likewise, the descendants of these people once again compound terrestrial mankind's excessive growth problem.
Once these offspring become older and sexually mature, they also promptly begin procreating their own children and, once again, new descendants are conceived in even greater numbers, etc., etc. faster and ever faster.
During an extremely brief time period the Earth will become even more overpopulated.


In 1978, 4 billion people inhabited the Earth. In 2000, there will exist already 7billion inhabitants.
Because of this steady and incessant increase of overpopulation, each and every other problem becomes excessively, immeasurably and increasingly compounded. These problems will affect every facet of human life, indeed, the very life of the planet itself and its fauna and flora. In the coming decades as man's degeneration on Earth relentlessly increases, so will that of the planet and nature.
Alone the looming ozone layer depletion caused by man's own actions will initiate unforeseen suffering upon the entire planet including all life forms, in much the same manner as a particular human immune deficiency, which today is already spreading epidemically.
As a result of wars and revolutions, among other things, veritable migrations of entire nations will soon take place, as people begin to flee their homelands to seek asylum elsewhere.
This migrant flow will lead to hatred of strangers, hatred of asylum-seekers and other races. It will result in severe unrest, murders by all types of extremists and others.

The drug abuse epidemic and international political terrorism shall run rampant.
Recession and inflation will reappear and millions of people will be without work and income.
Criminality and organized crime will spread on a massive scale.
The mass murder of individuals will become common place, including the mass murder of people for religious-sectarian and political-delusional reasons.
The destruction of the environment will increasingly ensue, while the planet itself is exploited and tortured.

However, nature and the planet will avenge themselves of this abuse through unusually severe storms, typhoons, cyclones, hurricanes, and huge infernos.
Entire forests, fields and other territories will be incinerated. Many gigantic fires will be ablaze. Horrendously violent storms will sweep across the Earth with a severity not yet witnessed since time immemorial. Horrendous droughts, gigantic tsunamis, masses of snow, hail and much more, will plague the Earth and its inhabitants. Ancient, dormant volcanoes will reawaken and negatively influence the Earth's climate.
Active volcanoes will rumble with increased activity, and savage earthquakes will shake the ground ever more frequently.
The irresponsible commercial use and testing of atomic bombs and other explosives will contribute to this turmoil as they reverberate through the earth.

With a current population of about 6.5 billion terrestrial inhabitants (1998), the Earth is far beyond its capability to support and feed such a mass routinely, on a fundamental, natural and healthy basis. A basis, where neither human effort and intrusion into nature, the raping of nature nor the exploitation of its resources to produce more food need occur; and where no one need suffer from hunger.
The truth is that Earth is a wondrous planet, but it has only the capacity to support and feed in every way and in abundance 529 million people.
Mankind, on the other hand, has generated a gigantic, excessive population, and is now forced to spur all vegetable and fruit production to atypical, extreme achievements through the use of chemicals and hybrids.

As though this were not enough, the exploitation of the planet has accelerated dramatically, including the expansion in recovery of raw materials from the earth, and the unrelentingly rising demand from the Earth for all types of other materials a direct result of the growing overpopulation.

No one mentions the destruction of arable land due to this madness called overpopulation; no one speaks of the use of toxic chemicals nor of the expansion of housing areas and the like. Food for human consumption is laden with chemical additives and consists these days largely of artificially produced chemicals also a fact that is not mentioned.
