Dick Smith’s Population Crisis
Population Crisis. Dick Smith in conversation
Dick Smith’s Population Crisis is Smith’s new book exploring the crucial issue of unsustainable population growth around the world including, in his view, in Australia. In this interview with SlowTV’s Nick Feik, Dick Smith explains why population is the issue that lies at the heart of many of the world’s most pressing problems – food production challenges and price rises, water shortages, the unsustainable consumption of fossil fuels and climate change – and how society’s quest for infinite economic growth is dangerously irresponsible, not to mention impossible to achieve.

Let me repeat what I’ve been saying for several years. Old Coyote Knose… it comes from the ‘Horse’s Mouth’… not to be confused with the ‘Horse’s Arse’.
The DOCTRINE OF PERPETUAL GROWTH on Planet Over-Birth Earth, a fragile HOST ORGANISM of FINITE space and FINITE resources, cannot be sustained much longer. Perpetual growth in a closed looped system (the Earth) is NOT progress… as Wall $treet corp-rats want ewe folks to think! Perpetual growth in a closed looped system is cancer! Full blown cancer.
We think it’s too late! Humans lacking prescience and common sense, meaning baboonies who piss an’ shit in their bed, don’t deserve to prosper… or even exist. We now predict that the UNITED $TATES OF PERPETUAL WAR PROFITEERING will cease to exist by 2050. And by 2100… most of humanity will be dead.
Oh can ewe see? By the dawn’s LAST light? Yesss… can ewe foolish folks out there spell F-U-K-U-S-H-I-M-A?

So are you a Gaia-believer? Is it intelligent or not

Gaia is not sentient, but does work by what we call ‘natural laws’ that we tend to ignore if there is a profit to be made.
Like any other species, when we reach over population, the system will slap us down just like any other species that has over extended it range. Nature does not respect intelligence or the whales, dauphins or elephants may be the dominant species now. Not man.
Yes, we are due for a die back to maybe pre-oil levels when we can no longer use oil instead of soil and fertilizer to grow our food. Or perhaps the warming earth will unleash a new virus that will kill off most of us. Wait and see.

What level of world population is sustainable? Limits of food, water, oil and jobs are coming head to head with the ever increasing population growth. The world added a billion people in the last 12 years and will add another billion people in the next 12 years. This is not sustainable. The current unrest in the middle east is just the beginning.
