With more
than ONE BILLION people on this earth going hungry every year, and the world at
present is already overpopulated at close to 8 billion people, which is
projected to grow to TEN BILLION people within a mere 28 years, Over Population
of the Planet is the Disaster awaiting to happen far sooner than climate
change.
Unfortunately,
the political theories of today’s leftist liberalism and its social reformers
remain living in their construed unrealistic unicorn world of the belief that
with proper government and big Teck social structures, all ills of the people
on the planet could be eradicated.
However, back in the 1700 century, we all were warned about the inability of the planet to adequately feed, water, or house a world population of over say 5 BILLION people. And with over ONE MILLION people going hungry each year the theory of Malthus, is today, now more than ever, acceptable to economists and far more accurate than those of Alfred Russel Wallace and Charles Darwin, in my opinion.
Overpopulation, NOT climate change, shall far sooner than the latter, cause a global epidemic of famine, poverty, starvation that neither government, big Teck companies or advances in science, shall overcome the scarcity of water or food supply once the planet has surpassed its capabilities thanks to the world’s overpopulation combined with societies irresponsibility’s and inability to effectively support more people because of the planet’s scarcity and incapacity of resources.
