Three Challenges for the Planet - Jeffrey Sachs

[909chuck]

UNTIL FOLKS UNDERSTAND THE PLANET, UNLIKE THE UNIVERSE, IS A LIMITED RESOURCE, WE WILL POPULATE AND CONSUME TO OUR HEART'S DESIRE. ANYONE WHO THINKS OTHERWISE IS MISTAKEN.

[sabaw1172]

this guy's message is population control! Notice how he talks of darkness, desperation and sustainability bullshit...how to collect rainwater...bullshit. I know your rhetoric- the very same culture of death stuff. I came from a third world country and I've seen the likes of you and the rest who would like to curtail the population of people. Crisis, crisis...so much for the population bomb of the 70s and the Malthusian mistake.

everyone this guy is trying to bring back conscription to the US. he and his cohorts must be stopped

[professormaxtrinity]

I believe the Earth Institute and projects like them are generating real solutions and promoting a more realistic view of our shared existence on this planet.

We are sharing what is functionally a limited system. When we wake up from our "baby making" frenzy we'll employ our free will to actually plan for the birth of our children and care for the ones already here. Both individually and collecively. This is a sign of our waking up as a whole. We can use this sign post to predict trends. peace.

This guy works for the evil international bankers and multinationals. he puts out these whiney speeches but he is actually a shill for the people who are creating poverty. Look at what he did to the people of Bolivia and Russia. But candyass Europeans fall for his speeches. Who doesn't want to end poverty? And what has he done to end poverty?

[mizzoulibertarian]

@stex2010 what makes a distingushed public speaker? being apart of america's corrupt ruling class? do you know the type of poverty he brought about in russia during the 90's? the suffering? no you don't because sheep like you believe that because he is presented as a "distingushed speaker" by newsweek you should believe everything he say's. take a look at his favorite corporation monsanto does to the world.

[panthershark1]

At 230 he talks bout population control, an what they dont wanna say, What could it be?

[mocarro]

No he doesn't.

[dustyloup]

here just take our genetically modified seeds and fertilizers and everything will be OK (*snicker*). I can't stand this guy!

[tonylee1973]

@dustyloup exactly. but so many idiots fall for him because of his "tone". he is monsanto's best friend

[dave777blaster]

China is being pulled up by the American jobs and businesses that went there in order to bribe them for political reasons

As America collapses into poverty china goes up

HE is a NWO shill

plans laid out under the cover of darkness

are evil ,works of good are always done in the light of day.

[goldgrif]

we have the tech to change things

we just have to change thinking

the true problem is that the socalled rich refuse to asssist, money is a fake focus

all people can be fed, clothed and housed

one more thing it was judeochristian belief that demanded people not regulate their reproduction (sometimes by horrible means), then refuse to help the people forced to reproduce

in the us there are pharmacies that refuse to give birth control, but dispense viagra

[thpt]

Humans created every problem we're facing. If we reduce population, we'll reduce the problems and increase the possible solutions. Less people, more houses, more food, more solutions.

[mln9898]

thpt, that's a disgusting, morally bankrupt "solution".

[RevolutionaryJam]

if thats how you feel why don't you volunteer?

if we cleaned up our own mess then we wouldn't be a problem

sometimes humans have managed to IMPROVE their environments

[neotoy]

Humans created poverty.

[Ralajer]

"Humans created poverty" well that's seems axiomatic as poverty is a human concept. Poverty as it's understood now exist merely because we have overcome the limitations of nature and this process has not occurred equally across the species.

Neotoy I really don't what you meant by your comment and my response is not necessarily directed at you.
