Earth’s dwindling resources can’t possibly support 7 billion people.

So why are the gloom and boomers not removing themselves from the gene pool?

Nothing a major ice-age wouldn't cure as the desert belt would turn green and produce 2 or 3 crops a year. The extra 02 might kick in the brain area that is on hold at the moment and the unlimited food might increase our size. One theory has the earth being 1/2 it's current size with the same volume of air air that is when the brain was firing on all cylinders. We have air that would be equal to a disaster zone back then.

The great things about having Alzheimer's is that I only need one book in my library and everyone I meet is my house is someone new.

That is actually quite clever, Walter.

I think it was the Club of Rome that published a book called the Limits of Growth in 1970, which predicted the exhaustion of virtually all life sustaining resources in food, energy, industry by the end of the 20th Century.

You can go back further of Thomas Malthus, a father of British liberalism in the early 19th Century, who developed the thesis that the geometrical growth in population would overwhelm the arithmetic growth in the food resources needed to sustain them. They both promoted the solution and radical population control, especially of teeming Third World masses.

In that way they harmonized with Margaret Sanger, the founder of Planned Parenthood, who lamented the diminishment of the white race by the coloured hordes. She proposed unfettered abortion and distribution of artificial contraceptives.. especially for non whites.

All the arguments of limitation were proven wrong, in fact, fraudulent rationales with ulterior motives. All underestimated the amazing capacity of the human intellect and ingenuity to provide solutions for shortages. There are, in fact, NO limits to growth.

The Club of Rome and Paul Ehrlich who continually predicted global disaster from 1968 on. Here is a prediction from his book The Population Bomb:
"The battle to feed all of humanity is over. In the 1970s hundreds of millions of people will starve to death in spite of any crash programs embarked upon now. At this late date nothing can prevent a substantial increase in the world death rate ..."
When none of his predictions came true he continued to rewrite his doom and gloom books with a different date.

I would not say that Ehrlich got it entirely wrong. His predictions were based on continued rapid population growth and no technological innovations in agriculture.

Because my taxes are paying for your welfare check.. someone has to support the lazy snowflakes.

I agree, but you'll be surprised with how technology will be helping alleviate this problem - especially with synthetic meat.

Ah yes, the infamous "shmeat".
Don't need to resort to bullshit. Just get that red seaweed cattle feed on the market and two major problems will be solved.
