Everyone that comments on these videos seem to have horrible and unenlightened ideas.

Replacement rate is over-rated. It assumes that each generation will only see One following generation, thus creating population decline while overlooking life expectancy. My great-grand parents have over 50 grand-children. Even if they only had 2.1children, they would theoretically now have 9.26 offspring, that is plenty to replace them.

Just an opinion, feel free to refute :)

Reducing pop solves no problems and creates and aggravates more problems.

What? If we get rid of all people, then there are no problems?

Politicians don't care about you. They are power-hungry thieves who scheme to stay in power. Too much government, is what is making our economy sick.

Decrease pop, when most everybody wants darling babies? How? More RAMPANT CONTRACEPTIVE PUSHING? More deception? Dissing families and babies? Government violence?

Let pop grow freely so billions more can live.

this vid sucks and have not much logic we right now need to decrease our population to deal with various problems and with older people the government can deal with good economy

That worldometers link says there are only 1.25 trillion barrels of oil left. The CIA World Factbook says: "Crude oil - proved reserves: 1.532 trillion bbl (1 January 2012 est.)"

At least one of them must be wrong. In addition, the World Factbook figure rises year by year, whereas the worldometer figure is continuously falling. That's a glaring inconsistency.

Which resource do you think will be consumed-to-the-last-drop first?
