She tells the truth. Our planet overpopulated by human and the growth must be stopped. (Which means that no-one should be killed, but the birth rate should be reduced rapidly.)

Society at large is far to sanctimonious to face up to the harsh reality of this imminent global catastrophe. Better to close your eyes & wave your finger at anyone who dares acknowledge the elephant in the room.

@HuskerSeaofRed well, that's another way to put it.

[HuskerSeaofRed]

@faunos51 I don't think SHE picked who to talk to. We picked to watch her.

Jane Goodall is simply brilliant

@MGGoblin . capitalism feeds on poverty. there is no hope for the poor as long as this economic system rules most of the world, seven billion people , many of them poor are messing up the world , what can be expected with growing numbers? the problem is not lack of space(that is obvious) the problem is resource depletion and pollution that lowers the quality of our living.

The lack of action is just a bunch of nonsense.

I think that the elderly should be executions.

[Hibofobi]

@KristelSitz YES!! That's what i keep saying to myself ;D

I'm so proud of you! :B

[faunos51]

Pick a person who does not have children to talk about overpopulation next time.

[MGGoblin]

@gethsoftware No no no. Africa is massively depopulated, there are colosal plains of EMPTY space, it's not like Europe where every 300 km. there is a city. There is not "too much people" - there is too few. The problem is not carryng capacity, the problem is poverty.

The economic prognosis for survival is directly proportional to the number of kids that you have; feminism 101. Some say the more kids, the better your survival rate. The more help from the fathers or state but...then the balance is off. Perception is Cultural. Timely. Convoluted. Farce. Growing your own food vs. senate bill S510. Whether you've tried to live sustainably or not; you are linked. Everyone is now sitting with everyone. The natural order is faster than us. Your video captures it ALL
