Dear Foxy,

You are correct and your critics are totally wrong. Reason is that, like myself, you have the education and critical thinking skills that they do not have.

One comment I do make is that according to some commentators it appears that the population figure of 9.4 billion will be reached before 2050 and might even hit 11 billion by 2045. You are spot on with the temperature predictions and if the mean global temp rises 6 deg C above the pre-industrial figure then some parts of the planet will actually begin to boil.

Mr Opinion if the planet temperature rises by 6 percent in your given time we are in trouble
Too if, and I think it is assured, the population grows to eleven plus billion?
Bet on it the whole thing will become bigger than the climate change debate world wide
Endless population growth in part, will drive pollution and climate change

Belly,

Population growth is slowing down rapidly and will stabilise in the next twenty years or so, with growth being mainly because of greater life expectancy, i.e. lower mortality rates. Birth numbers may have peaked and will decline from here on.

Ignore it if you like.

When population growth bursts at countries' borders it'll be too late to act. We can't afford any more refugees ! They need to stand up against their oppressors.

In the past disease and poor diet held the aboriginal populations at low numbers, around 200,000, with an expectant age at death around 50 years. At present about 800,000 population identify as Aboriginal and with our health care and intermarriage live longer and there is less infant death. The question remains are we going to develop science from our resources and intelligence, or return to the hunter gatherer economy with lower population, life expectancy, and infant death. We stand today with the use of coal as our greatest social development.

Individual/Josephus I will NEVER be convince lowering the birth rate of native peoples is even near a sane answer
BUT indy has it right, in time we will see over population for what it is a very real threat to at least the living standards of humanity
We can not keep our waste under control right now, it will only get worse
Bringing enough refugees here, and by doing it making our country over populated is mad
Humanity we all, or should, put it first and in controlling population we do far better than just ignoring the truth
We lift standard of living not crush it
