these people need to be eradicated from existance before they can populate the world further.

If they truly cared about "the environment" they would kill themselves.

They must die.

All of them.

Quickly. Quicker deaths for them will help SAVE the environment! MUHAHAHAHAHHA!!!

every second 3 people are added to the world. most of those are in undeveloped countries like africa, india and south america. these countries havent been able to maintain their old population numbers and this is putting a very big strain on the economy, food, and the land they live on.

the population of the earth (6billion as of 1999) should DOUBLE by 2050. never before has anything been so increasing in numbers that its putting a stranglehold on the environment. america itself has a net gain of 1 person every 10 seconds.

theres been in increased atmospheric CO2 concentration in the atmosphere by 30% first started being noticed around the time of the industrial revolution (coincidence?). over 50% of terrestrial nitrogen fixations is caused by human activity (farming, fossil fuels)

about 20% of the bird species have become extinct in the last 200 years almost all because of humans
22% of fisheries are overexploited or depleted, 44% or more are at limit of exploitation. this is destroying the coast line, literally causing some of the extinctions of the worlds largest food resource.

we've already transformed or degraded 39.50% of the earths entire land surface (agriculture and urban) - and thats not a total percentage of the land humans live on just the percentage we've turned totally uninhabitable. these leads into the problem of shrinking cropland. most of the earths surface you just cant grow a lot of stuff on. now you cant grow adequate stuff on even more

water shortages. freshwater is only 3% of the earths water. acquifer rates are emptying so fast its already caused mass famine where they are needed most. the only water thats easily usable by humans is ground freshwater which is only .3% of the water on the earth. the average family of 4 in america uses about 335 gallons of water a day
and most of the water we use is waste. it literally doesnt get recycled back into the land. our irrigation systems are mostly outdated - just 1 reason for the loss

because of global warming which in its definition is the rise of avg. global temp. due to human activities, the earths temp may rise 2.4-10.4 degrees F by the end of this century making it the hottest period since the dinosaurs were alive (back then the earth was so hot because of massive volcanic activity)

the natural extinction rate of species on earth is 2-10 species per year. due to human activity the extinction rate is 1,000-10,000 times higher. most of the medicines we use today come from animals and plants most susceptible to mass extinctions due to the fact they live in rainforests and jungles.

death rates are increasing but unfortunately so are birth rates. some theorists say the emergence of aids, bird flu and the like are the earth "fighting back" so to speak. battling back for its resources and space. for example everyone hears about AIDS in Africa but actually the highest concentration of AIDS in the world is in India (4 million adults alone). AIDS numbers are raising largely in Asia and America.

TEXAS gets its water mostly from the Ogalla acquifer. we in lubbock especially get our water from this source. it covers 11% of texas. 3.3 billion acres. it would cover all 50 states with about 6 feet of water. BUT unfortunately it would take 6,000 years to refill. there are 170k wells in texas in the acquifer, 50k in NW texas alone. BUT the water level is at drastically low levels. levels that would warrant water restrictions (and lubbock has recently argued about implementing them - aside from the recent one due to a water main break). there simply wont be enough water in the acquifer for lubbock within the next 50 years. choices? lubbock purchasing water from states farther north along the acquifer where levels are still usable, ... thats really the only realistic one at the moment because desalination plants are still hugely inefficient to maintain a population and agriculture. some states have already been forced to "buy" water from other states.

the earth simply doesnt have the resources to maintain this population much less one that is supposed to double in such a short time. once a species meets its carrying capacity placed by the environment they live in and its resources there is little they can do about it except for famine, mass extinctions, epidemics. before 2050 we are going to be exceeding ours.

Which is exactly why I maintain the single most important thing the government could possibly spend money on is space exploration.

what sucks is, the number of stupid people grows even more exponentially than the number of smart people as population grows.

Hence, it's become harder and harder for the %5 (and shrinking) of smart people in this world to keep the other %95 of idiots afloat, so to speak.

The single most important goal humanity should have as a species, regardless of relegion or demograpic or whatever, is to blast off into space and get off this planet and spread ourselves out over new worlds, so we don't die out.

Even if you are relegious.

"God only helps those who helps themselves."

Apply that to our entire species, and you see why we need off this rock.
