Overpopulation is a Myth

Truth is every man, woman, & child in the whole world could have about 1 acres of land to themselves & it would all fit into a land mass the size of North America, with the rest of the world completely unoccupied.

Total land area of North America (including Central America and the Caribbean): 24,486,305 km² (6,050,697,738 acres)
Average population density of North America: 21.0 persons per square kilometer (11.77 acres per person)
Total population of Earth 6,553,289,000
Average population density of Earth: 44.0 persons per square kilometer (5.62 acres per person)

6,050,697,738 acres of North America / the total world population of 6,553,289,000 = 0.93.. acres per person (not families mind you, that would take up less land maas)

This video overlooks the damage caused to our ecosystems, the extinctions of species and exhaustion of resources. An unbalanced and closed minded video.

Over-consumption, compared to what? Do you want the average-sized homes, to be smaller? Tiny overcrowded shacks, aren't tiny enough?

No, it's not over-consumption, but the NWO criminal elites, stealing and squandering the wealth of nations, and sucking the capital out of capitalism. Everybody can have MORE energy and stuff, for the world is not a "fixed pie" of resources. Rather, human labor is limited, and can be freed up, by economics, machines, more jobs.

its nice how he does not mention that the population of the PODUCTIVE CLASS, are having less kids, the poor, less educated are having more and more kids... so the avera quality of people declines... why??? short resources make long term invesment for the more productive and capable too expensive to afford.

Exactly as user timeismoney25 had pointed out those issues that you presented have different factors that are the major cause, rather than increased population. Humanity is not implementing current technologies and plans for sustainability and maintenance for this little blue dot of ours. Instead we continue to drive around in oversized V8s & 4*4s to pick the kids up from school, and buy bullshit things we don't need that are made from factories with no pollution control technology.

Here's the thing. Not EVERYONE needs a car, a lawnmower, or a toolbox full of a thousand tools. All of these things are only used on average only 10% of the objects lifetime by its owner. Instead of trying to accumulate crap, lets just fucking share so there would be enough for all.

[timeismoney25]

@mattoooooo That's true but those things only have to do with simple human arrogance and ignorance.

@BronzedBomber , except for those HUMANS that adapt to the poisons that we will spew into the environment in an ever increasing effort to supply 'the good life' to every new citizen we create. Any kind of evolution takes many generations to happen, I really don't believe we have that long to adapt to.... living in the filth and crap we will be creating. We will reign supreme over our empire of smog and cancer. Will our descendants thank us for this folly?

[cameik]

@BronzedBomber The natural progression of unhindered exponential population growth, every life is precious every sperm is good, every sperm should end up being another human being- the natural progression is standing room only people everywhere, to the detriment of all other life on the planet. We have the will, we have the way, to continue down this path we've chosen, and spoil the whole planet for any life that might seek to exist!

@matthewbrandt425 The argument here seems to have diverged even from that made by the originators of the video- that being, that a well enough educated population will save what's left of the world at the appropriate time by- get this- BY LIMITING THEIR OWN GROWTH! Geeze, I wonder how we will accomplish this? Maybe some kind of, contraception? Oh my! We can wait until we are in dire need, a do, or we all, by all I mean whatever the population was willy-nilly allowed to get to, we all get to die!

[BronzedBomber]

@mattoooooo Considering that most scientists state that 99% of species died off long ago. According to some over few millions of years ago, I doubt you can put full blame on humans. Besides shouldn't "macro evolution" be able to compensate! I mean it is the answer, right? Natural resources have been predicted to run out many times too but the truth is more need equals more $ which means we can dig deeper and in more spots. Maybe not the best solution but talk about close mindedness!

Yeah the number of people alive isn't the prob. What those people choose (not?) to do is what creates the problem.

But extinction isn't a near threat. Fertility though....the pill is poison, people. Ends up in the water along w all other pharmas. Notice that there's a laundry list of reasons to take the pill they way there is a laundry list of reasons for male genital mutilation. Nasty fucks.
