You just have to love the experts. Why, without experts, I doubt our knowledge of just how fragile the Earth is would be put into perspective. Take for example the current growth of the world’s population. If you believe these experts, then humanity is nothing more than a virus. Or was it that really bad movie? And why do I think that Elrond said it? In either case, their latest attempt to scare us:
Unchecked population growth is speeding climate change, damaging life-nurturing ecosystems and dooming many countries to poverty, experts concluded in a conference report released Monday.
Unless birth rates are lowered sharply through voluntary family-planning programmes and easy access to contraceptives, the tally of humans on Earth could swell to an unsustainable 11 billion by 2050, they warned.
The UN currently projects that global population will rise from 6.8 billion today to between 8.0 and 10.5 billion by mid-century.
The researchers said that with one and a half million more humans climbing aboard the planet every week, a recipe is looming for ecological overload, famine and broken states.
"Continued rapid population growth in many of the least developed countries could lead to hunger, a failure of education and conflict," said Malcolm Potts at the University of California in Berkeley, which hosted the conference in February.
The papers, authored by 42 specialists in environmental science, economics and demography, are published by the Royal Society, Britain's de-facto academy of sciences.
"There is no doubt that the current rate of human population growth is unsustainable," summarised Roger Short, a professor at the University of Melbourne in Australia.
This would be all shocking and alarming if I was just some dumb guy who read a lot of news clips. After all, seeing the population growth grow slightly less than the National Debt sure is alarming. I am so glad that these wonderful experts are there to warn us about the upcoming danger.
But just who are these experts? Well, if one looks up Professor Malcolm Potts, you will find that he has a history with the International Planned Parenthood Federation. He was the first Medical Director of said organization back in 1968. Not only does this make him really old (and probably creepy) but shows that he has a long history of trying to get all of our tax dollars directed at murdering aborting black and Hispanic babies in third world countries. After all, how would his position in that “non-profit” organization last without contributions from suckers like you and me.
Oh silly me, I was not suppose to bring up the character of these experts. They are above it all, after all. And besides, I am sure that the other guy, Robert Short, is definitely on the level. He is, after all, Australian and nobody who speaks Australian could be a bad person. He most certainly is not a weirdo, right?
Well, except for the fact that he likes to mix lemon juice with semen and inject it into women’s vaginas. Of course, it is suppose to be used to combat AIDS, so I guess if you have unprotected sex, you can always wash your genitalia down with some nice lemon juice. Apparently, if you do not have any lemon juice, lime juice will work just as well.
So these are a couple of the so-called experts: a baby-killer and a man who has a lemon juice fetish. Oh, if I could be a professor myself. I would demand so many grants from the government to study the effects of booze on children, toothpaste on gerbil teeth, and find out once and for all whether or not necromancy is a serious scientific study.
Folks, do not worry about the population growth. In all honesty, these elitist snobs are just worried that there will be too many people to control and they may have to resort to capitalism to solve the problem. Also, they would be out of luck with their worthless causes of genocide and serving the needs of sex freaks.
