Just Stop Oil protests

[Betterdeedthan red]

I don’t think overpopulation is seen as the upcoming problem that it once was. We used to have estimates of our population well exceeding 11 Billion but a lot of developed country’s fertility rates are already below replacement levels and even developing nations are seeing much greater suppression of population growth than expected.

I think the latest estimates put our peak population at 10.4 Billion now. And while that is still a lot of people, it’s only about 25% more than we currently have, and we have more than enough resources to service that if deployed properly. The big issue is going to be things like water security which is causing major problems in some countries like South Africa due to droughts… But that is a problem regardless, population increase just exacerbates it.

If over population is a problem .
Shoot all the stop oil protesters.

Didn't know members of the Chinese Communist party posted on Bluemoon.

More of the daft twats at it again at the golf. Need locking up for five years. Wonder what might happen if they tried to invade the pitch at the Etihad?

I see they didn't try it later on the day when beer consumption would have peeked.

AI will simply cull 2/3rds of world population, problem solved.
Start with rags.

i remember watching a david attenborough programme a few years ago and he said the biggest threat to the planet was over population and the need for more land/resources etc yet this never seems to get a mention.
there doesn't seem to be any effort to address the real problem by the powers that be

It doesn't fit in with election cycles, people being used as units of productivity and the obsession with growth.

Isn't there data to suggest there is a risk of the global population declining before the end of the century?

Replace risk with hope

Not bad behaviour but a bit boisterous.

I think the protesters are used to the Great British publics boisterous behaviour by now.
