To Joe- Loudmouth- through the chair- I'm unsure which Rapoport you are referring to

Maybe-

Author(s) David C. Rapoport
Date 2002
Publisher Department of Political Science University of California at Los Angeles

Or- Anatol Rapoport- Also a Mathematician

Anyway- The less people, the less water used, the less demand for products that require large amounts of water (like steel production), the more water remaining.

It appears that our water resources may be going the same way as our petroleum resources perhaps sold by big multinationals at world prices so the Australian community doesn't benefit

Dear Canem Malum,

The world is overpopulated and our numbers are growing exponentially. So much for laissez faire economics and free trade with their empty promises to arrest population figures. It hasn't worked. We passed the passed the sustainable population level of 5,6 billion in 1986 and we are now just short of 8 billion and it continues to grow exponentially.

Fester liked your posts knew about that cold water
Know too if it heats up before our summer ends we may well get drought breaking rain
What however if it is cold because of climate change
Many have put the view man could manipulate the oceans and we may too one day let's hope so, without damage
NSW fire, for to NSW fires near me, click on the current hell fire , look at [by clicking more information] its size
Homes lost water contaminated by ash, how many dead animals, insects?
By mid to end of Autumn we will look back on a holocaust fire year, dreadful toll of people homes and forests hope your water warms up even cyclones are welcome if it brings rain

Misopinionated,

"The world is overpopulated and our numbers are growing exponentially. "

No, it isn't, and no they aren't. Just take the time to analyse this site:

http://ourworldindata.org/future-population-growth

World population growth is slowing down. One of the key indicators, number of births, is flattening, and by 2050 or so, i.e. in another generation, will decline. That decline will flow through to 20-40 year-olds, and then into the over-40 year-olds.

What will keep the population up is the decline in mortality, deaths, i.e. the postponement of deaths from a life expectancy of, say, 60 to 70, and then from 70 to 80, then amongst the over-80s. After that limit is more or less reached, total world population will start to decline, with fewer births and natural limits on old-age.

Perhaps you have evidence otherwise ? Or is it just one of those tings you've picked up during your TAFE course ?

Loudmouth it is me the full stop man good morning, please understand my view has not changed
I remain convinced we have gone past the number of humans on this planet that is sustainable
Too that fixing that number, either reducing it or enforcing your view it is not growing, leads to a more sustainable world
It is a bit dry, right now I would not recommend another few families live in this small, country like village only 40 klm from the sea
We are on recycle septic and tank water
Our gardens are dead our tanks near empty
A recently rented home [last week] is waiting for the power to be switched on, because power men are flat our repairing bushfire damage
Sorry about the full stops maybe you can help? please recommend a good grammar that has a good spell check [WARNING spell checks have nervous breakdowns when working for me!

Hi Bely,

Presumably you have evidence for your 'beliefs', in spite of countervailing evidence ?

Do you have evidence that population growth is accelerating, or even staying about the same rate, or is that just part of your 'beliefs' ?

Do you have evidence that we have passed some sort of sustainable growth point, or is that just one of your 'beliefs' ?

I suppose we all have 'beliefs' in spite of evidence that goes contrary to them. But there is a word for clinging to 'beliefs' in spite of evidence. However, I recall a LNP politician saying that it's not illegal to be ....... of that frame of mind, so rest assured.

Joe
