Re: World Population Day
Hi
When the first World Population Day was marked in 1990, the global population stood at a little over five billion.
It's now over half that again, measuring 7.6 billion.
This is a totally unsustainable growth rate, the food, water and infrastructure is simply not there to support it.
Net result, mass migration.
Sooner or later the crunch will have to come, we will have to accept the deaths of hundreds of millions from lack of food and water or have compulsory birth control.
Even in this tiny island of ours, we are seeing the deterioration of services and living standards due to an over rapid growth in migration and population.
Nature is a wondrous thing, animal populations are self balancing, naturally self controlling, they only ever grow large enough to match the food and water supply, then they die off.
Perhaps it is time to accept this reality and stop interfering.
