SteeleRedux,

The people who don't want Michael Moore (and that dear little princess Greta) doing what they do are the same sort of people who would let the Chinese Communist Party in through the back door. Or as we have just seen through the front door if one happens to be Andrew Forrest.

What's wrong with Michael Moore? Not a god dam thing...NOW. He has just had his eyes opened up to the confidence trick that is wind & solar power & was brave enough to call it for what it is.

Now if someone could only open his eyes to the confidence trick that is blaming the minute normal warming cycle of the planet on CO2, it would be very useful.

Hasbeen,

You great big chocolate (smarty).

Andrew Forrest is one of yours isn't he?

started watching the doco last night. Lasted about 3o minutes before falling asleep. Truth is, that it has been obvious for over a decade what a fraud renewables has been and still is. Rudd, Gillard, Turnbull and even Morrison really selling out to the United Nations and big corporations making billions from the tax payers. End result simply massive increases in electricity, more environmental damage and kids totally brainwashed. Hopefully coronavirus will finish the stupidity of Government handouts for electric cars, solar panels and wind farms. When someone with the courage to pull out of the Paris fraud comes forth we might be able to regain some trust. No wonder the abc and other regressives were so desperate to get rid of Abbott.

Synthesis of credible population research, excludes ZPG and Club of Rome related Paul 'population bomb' Ehrlich, white nationalist John 'passive eugenics' Tanton and Paul 'Sea Shepherd' Watson, reaches less alarming conclusions on population.

Bricker and Ibbitson highlight how fertility rates have been dropping almost everywhere leading to a peak mid century followed by (in their analysis by continued) decline, then highlight issues with the UN Population Division's infkated fertility rates for China, India etc. (supported by The Lancet after publication).

One would add that energy sources will go green, away from fossil fuels and legacy investments,for economic reasons.

Further, population decline will aid the environment also, according to Fred Pearce's 'The Coming Population Crash and Earth's Surprising Future':

'surprisingly, it appears that the explosion is past its peak. Around the world, in developing countries as well as in rich ones, today's women are having on average 2.6 children, half the number their mothers had. Within a generation, world fertility will likely follow Europe's to below replacement levels—and by 2040, the world's population will be declining for the first time since the Black Death, almost seven hundred years ago.'

Wrong title for Pearce's book, 'planet' not 'earth', summary continued:

In The Coming Population Crash, veteran environmental writer Fred Pearce reveals the dynamics behind this dramatic shift. Charting the demographic path of our species over two hundred years, he begins by chronicling the troubling history of authoritarian efforts to contain the twentieth century's population explosion, as well as the worldwide trend toward the empowerment of women that led to lower birthrates. And then, with vivid reporting from around the globe, he dives into the environmental, social, and economic effects of our surprising demographic future.

Now is probably the last time in history that our world will hold more young people than elders. Most fear that an aging world population will put a serious drain on national resources, as a shrinking working population supports a growing number of retirees. But is this necessarily so? Might an older world population have an upside? Pearce also shows us why our demographic future holds increased migration rates, and reveals the hypocrisy at the heart of anti-immigrant rhetoric in the developed world: the simple fact is that countries with lower birthrates need workers and countries with higher birthrates need work.

And he tackles the truism that population density always leads to environmental degradation, taking us from some of the world's most densely packed urban slums to rural Africa to argue that underpopulation can sometimes be the cause of environmental woes, while cities could hold the key to sustainable living.'
