Population growth and the threat this represents to the 'developed' world : Comments

By Guy Hallowes, published 15/1/2018

Even if the Syrian crisis does resolve itself there is a veritable Tsunami of potential refugees coming from Africa. Africa, you may well ask: Why?

Any aid sent to these garbage countries is totally counter productive. These people have breed so prolifically with our aid & medical support they have totally exceeded the carrying capacity of the country.

Any that gets past the ruling bunch & actually feeds the population, merely increasers their level of health to where they can continue breeding, & overwhelming their environment.

Infact our aid is fuelling the flood of illegal migration, by helping increase the overpopulation of Trumps sh*oles.

Also Auckland Uni's Coastal Institute shows that 60% of Pacific
Islands have grown larger since the late 1940s.
So much for rising sea levels.

The forecast of one billion Africans heading for Europe would have to
mean a slaughter on a scale never seen in history.

Agriculturists have confirmed that the Nile can support 40 million.
Now how can Egypt support the present 85 million ?

It makes a lot of sense to encourage the sub-Saharan African countries to reduce population growth. Any methods possible will be useful. It isn't true that economic growth must precede reductions in population. Often population stabilisation and economic growth have progressed at the same time. China and the Indian state of Kerala as mentioned in the article are 2 examples and there are more. (Population, poverty and economic development, Steven W Sinding) (also see Jane O'Sullivan)

It is hard to believe that Sub-Saharan African countries would take advice on limiting their population growth rates from Australia, while Australia continues to use every effort to increase its population. If we want other countries to start limiting their population growth we need to start by limiting ours. Secondly, when the flood of refugees starts we can say we have a long standing policy of limiting our population growth that is why we are "stopping the boats."

Well done Guy Hallowes.

Just some corrections regarding the article on population growth. None of the African countries mentioned in the article are Moslem. While that all have minority Moslem populations they are all Christian or practice traditional beliefs. I have lived in Kenya, Botswana and South Africa and am well acquainted with Zimbabwe.

The education OF Women is one avenue that will reduce population growth. Presumably other commentators have their own suggestions.

'If one examines our own situation here in Australia the population has grown from 16 million to 24 million in the same 30 years (i.e. a growth of 50%).'

The definition of the 'nebulous' NOM was quietly changed by the UN Population Council in 2006 hence inflated headline figures representing increased temporary churnover, mostly international students. Focus upon increased movements ignores increased longevity and a coming death bust.

Comparing Australia's population growth with other nations using different measurements is invalid, or comparing apples with oranges; statistics 101.

Further, the late Prof. Hans Rosling, development expert, medico and statistician explained well, it's an issue of management, etc. with only sub-Saharan Africa having significant population growth now and in future https://www.gapminder.org/videos/dont-panic-the-facts-about-population/

Europe's population will be falling off a cliff, for now it's mostly working age population, needed to support the tax base for increasing population in pensioner cohorts ie. declining worker to pensioner ratios; if you want to buy or rent your own deserted village...

If one looks into the foundation of the UN in NY Post WWII, the Population Council and it's 'sustainability' PR, it smells of old fossil fuel and related oligarchs and Darwin's cousin Galton.
