    Overpopulation is a serious issue. This is why I advocate letting overpopulated third world countries fight all of the civil wars that they want to. One of natures ways of trying to balance an exploding population is war and famine. The Somalis were starving so Bush 41 sent the US military over there to protect western food aid from the war lords. But the Somalis crapped all over us, so we left them to starve in their own mess while trying to kill each other.

    Overpopulation on a world scale is not a problem. If you took the ~7 billion people in the world and spread them out evenly in the United States, a total area of roughly 2.26 billion acres, that would give you roughly 3.1 people per acre, less than the average size family, and leave the rest of the land on the planet for farming and industry. Granted, certain areas of the planet may be over populated, but as a whole, the planet is not.

    overpopulation is a not a problem. and if it was, the solution is economic freedom and wealth. modern developed countries do not really grow, except for immigration.

    at no point in history is someone not crying about overpopulation. everyone pretends to know what the capacity of earth is.

    there are plenty of resources to go around. the problems are political, we are terrible at distributing the resources. we dont trust the market.

    we can feed ourselves easier now than we ever have. if you are starving, you live in a place without a free market.

    and virtually every raw material is cheaper now than it was 100 years ago.

    The guy is a eugenicist and all the things that come with that title.

    Its not about an overpopulating earth, its about a power grab.

    Study what eugenics are.

    This man is a eugenicist.
    I have opinions based off of fact, a novel concept I know. and the link arent weird it what Holdren says is weird.

    If you dont believe the link you could always read his book.
