Humans and the planet : Comments

By Charles Hemmings, published 3/3/2021

A vital issue for humanity is the extent to which human activity has a negative effect on the ability of the planet to sustain us, going forward. We have the power but probably not the will to change or modify our activities.

Thanks for the article. I agree at least that we need to reduce the population of the world. We should perhaps aim to decrease the population to under one billion for a start. It will take a few generations.

Canem, Why? In spite of predictions going back well over 50 years that the planet had already gone beyond peak capacity, we have seen none of the calamitous disasters that were predicted to be inevitable and occurring within a decade of the predictions.
As has been shown, when a community reaches a level of education and overall quality of life, the birthrate drops to a barely sustainable level.
Some countries however appear to need a level of mass poverty as drivers and sustainers of their social and economic economies.
