The planet is approaching 8 billion people. We’re not ready
Last month, the United Nations Population Division issued its World Population Prospects 2022 report, which forecast that the human population will reach and surpass 8 billion on Nov. 15. In a carefully worded statement on the report, U.N. Secretary General António Guterres declared 2022 a “milestone” year.
He had good reason to choose his words carefully. To speak in a global context concerning the interconnections of population, consumption and inequality (as he did) is no easy task. The status quo for nearly 50 years has been that the Global North tells the Global South, “You have too many mouths to feed — you should curb your population growth rates,” and the Global South tells the Global North, “You eat too much — you should curb your consumption rates.” Both sides are correct, but still manage to speak past each other.
Critics love to pour derision on poor old Thomas Malthus, the population economist whose ideas have undeniably been abused by those pushing racist, xenophobic and anti-urban growth agendas. Similarly vilified is Paul R. Ehrlich’s flawed yet visionary book, “The Population Bomb,” the reading of which introduced me to human population growth issues when I was still in high school.
Yet for all their flaws, the analyses of Malthus and Ehrlich cannot be ignored. Feeding more mouths over time does result in still more mouths to feed. Satisfying more consumer demands results in still more consumer demands to satisfy.
To say this out loud is to toss a sacred cow on the third rail. In many political contexts, mention of population control is about as popular as gun control at a National Rifle Association convention.
One of the most successful ways to shut down legitimate discourse on population issues is to lump that discussion with historical eugenics, racism, colonialism and genocide. Discussion quickly descends into a paranoia-fest of “whose population? And who is doing the controlling?” — not improper concerns, but too often improperly used to shut down all discussion.
One result of this deadlock is that the human population has jumped 267% in the roughly six decades I have been alive.
I have seen the changes personally. In the 1970s as a teenager in Ohio, I watched the corn fields down the road get turned under, subdivided and planted with houses. I moved to Southern California in 1980 and soon thereafter lived and worked in the Riverside County agricultural hinterlands of the western Coachella Valley, places like Cherry Valley and Beaumont, now filled cheek-by-jowl with houses.
Exurbia has become suburbia.
I lived in the San Jacinto Mountains in the 1980s and in the southern Sierra Nevada from 2005 to 2020 and have seen those forests made ghosts of their former selves by bark beetles and big burns. The whole landscape, even after regrowth, looks tired and worn down at the heel.
California’s urban cores have not grown that much in population over the last 50 years. Instead, more people have built and moved into the wildland-urban interface.
I was one of them and part of the problem.
Our home burned down in the Creek Fire of 2020. Nothing sensitizes you to the end of the world like having your own world end.
No matter who is winning the debate about growth, we clearly aren’t planning for that growth particularly well.
Experiments like China’s coercive and now-defunct One Child Policy notwithstanding, the only persistent governor on the engine of population growth has been the “invisible hand” of demographic transition: the historic shift from high-birth rates and high-infant death rates (in low-tech, low-female-education, low-economic-development societies) to low-birth rates and low-infant-death rates (in high-tech, high-female-education, high-economic-development societies). Because women with more options generally have fewer children, education and economic opportunities for women are key to both demographic transition and any possibility for reining in population growth.
Yet even this mild constraint is unacceptable for the likes of Ohio Senate candidate J.D. Vance, who has argued for parents having a more powerful say in American democracy than nonparents. Natalist nationalists like Vance want to roll back the achievements of cosmopolitanism and feminism, view migration as surrender and fear an extremely unlikely “abrupt population collapse” driven somehow by the aforementioned demographic transition.
According to the U.N. report’s forecast, the curve for absolute global population will continue to rise through most of the century before flattening and stabilizing (fingers crossed) at 10 billion or 11 billion.
Vance and his fellow travelers, however, seem little interested in the global situation. They castigate the decision to refrain from having children as “selfish” and lacking “physical commitment to the future.” Yet, beyond the immediate realm of the nuclear family or the demands of church and state for more parishioners and citizens, choosing to be childless is clearly unselfish — even reciprocally altruistic and committed to the future — in the context of the community of all life on this planet.
Choice, not coercion, is key.
The involuntary abortions forced on Chinese women under the One Child Policy are the flip side of American women being forced to carry pregnancies to term against their will in the wake of the Supreme Court Dobbs decision. Is it any wonder that the number of people seeking tubal ligations and vasectomies is way up? More of us seem to be concluding that, because we are pro-creation, we will choose not to engage in procreation.
It’s not impossible for human beings to say, “Enough of us, already!”

20000 years ago during the time of the Laurentide Ice Sheet the world had 80 billion human beens all supremacist muzzies on Wed, 24th Aug 2022 9:14 pm
Most of Canada and Northern US are covered with 2 mile thick of ice.
There were no elite whitey supertards at the time. This simply means elite whitey supertard didn’t cause the melting of ice.
It was supremacist muzzies that caused the melting of two miles of ice. The weight was so grate it caused the grate lakes.

because elite whitey supertards didn’t cause the melting of two miles of ice over most of canada and northern US.
it was supremacist muzzies that caused the melting of two miles of ice.

supertards not OK
melting of two miles of ice of the Laurentide Ice Sheet did not raise sea level. This can not be blamed on elite whitey supertards because elite whitey supertards didn’t exist at the time.
80 billion human beings at the time were all supremacist muzzies.
The melting didn’t raise sea level and the plymouth rock is still at sea level.
socialism for all, except for some elite supremacist muzzies and some elite whitey supertards with $30,000/month electric bill and private jets.
And of course marxist t-shirt for elite whitey supertard Greta and private jets.

One of the biggest piles of horse shit they tell you growing up is that we study history so as not to repeat the bad shit.
BUT humans always do. ALWAYS. Why?
“Whoever wishes to foresee the future must consult the past; for human events ever resemble those of preceding times. This arises from the fact that they are produced by men who ever have been, and ever shall be, animated by the same passions, and thus they necessarily have the same results.” — Niccolo Machiavelli
When I was a young man my reformed, ex-con, black sheep uncle tried to steer me right so I would stop following in his foot steps so to speak. I just nodded and said ‘OK’ to everything he said then went out drinking drugging partying fighting smashing up my car shit faced…for years until I hit the wall hard..multiple times. I had to learn the hard way because I thought I was so tough and clever. By rights I should not be alive.
If I was calm I would have stayed in school like my golden boy brother, went to college in the humanities dept and became a historian, so I could make a living for doing my hobby.
One of the primary uses of history is as propaganda. Propaganda that make us look good and the enemy look bad. History weaponized. Moreover, every nation, kingdom, empire needs a good origin story that is usually comprised of a combination of historical truths and some good story telling.
Today the humans are making all the same mistakes as those in that trail of dead civilizations behind us have made. Greedy, arrogant, prideful, etc.
The one thing I have discovered studying history is that the ancients were well aware of and accepted, that most moderns don’t, is impermanence. They had no problem with knowing that what they built was not going to last and that their world could turn to ruin at anytime – invasion, plague, drought-famine, etc.

This article is such a pile of horse-shit propaganda/brainwashing!
There are more than enough necessities for 10 billion, or more, humans on this planet. If predatory capitalism/democracy was destroyed, the necessities could be evenly spread, not wasted. For example, the “wonderful” (sarcasm) US could feed the entire population of the Philippines with the amount of food they waste every day.
The West needs to go down and share the lifestyle they impose on the rest of the world. Today would be a good time to start.

Only retarded amateurs continue to make arguments from hypocrisy.
Over 2000 years ago, our civilization’s founders, the ancient Greeks, taught us why an argument from hypocrisy is a logical fallacy that only stupid people make.
Appeal to hypocrisy
Appeal to hypocrisy (also known as tu quoque, which is Latin for, ‘you also’) is an informal logical fallacy that tries to discredit the validity of the opponent’s argument by asserting the opponent’s failure to act consistently in accordance with its conclusion(s). It is similar to ‘whataboutism‘ which is an attempt to twist criticism back on the initial critic. The Oxford English Dictionary cites John Cooke’s 1614 stage play The Cittie Gallant as the earliest use of the term tu quoque in the English language.

Unlike today the ancient Greeks did not have any special education for stupid white men incapable of learning because their emotions rule them, not reason and logic.
The Greeks would inspect a new born and if the child looked physically or mentally deformed they would throw them off a cliff.
Ok that is a very popular historical myth that won’t go away, but I’m all for throwing people off cliffs as long as they sign a waiver.
Sometimes I wonder what is it these Christians do on a day to day basis that makes them so superior to the rest of us? I don’t see them feeding the poor and all those other good works they used to do. American Christians have completely rewritten the new testament and what Jesus was all about. They are convinced he’s coming back to punish the wicked (their neighbors and people at work they hate & Jews). Oh Jesus is coming back and first thing on his list it to rid the world of it’s evil vermin Jesus is going to nuke the USA until all Americans/Evil ones are dead. Then we will start over. You can try and hide in China but he will know and find you. There will be no escape for the wicked.

As per usual, I was ahead of the press & working scientists for at least a decade.
Start considering the worst-case ‘mass extinction’ scenarios of climate change, warn scientists in new paper
August 2, 2022 at 5:21 AM PDT
“In a new paper, researchers from institutions including the University of Cambridge and China’s Nanjing University argue that the worst-case scenarios of climate change are being “dangerously underexplored” by the scientific community.
According to the authors, the possibility of “worldwide societal collapse or even eventual human extinction” is not completely out of the question, as current rates of warming “may surpass thresholds that triggered previous mass extinctions” in the past.”
https://fortune.com/2022/08/02/worst-case-climate-scenarios-dangerously-underexplored/

“..dangerously underexplored” that is code for no one wanted to lose their job and be branded an alarmist hope-killer. Our magical thinking society has long been addicted to dangerously unrealistic levels optimism & being super positive because hopium is a multi billion dollar industry. Oprah alone gas made over a billion pimping all that happy-hopey garbage – lies.
Lets turn the clock back a decade.
Climate Scientists Erring on the Side of Least Drama
“In other words, Shanklin suggests that the IPCC under-predicts climate impacts in order to avoid losing credibility due to …accusations of “alarmism”. Other scientists interviewed by Brysse who were involved in ozone research and the IPCC reports shared similar opinions.
Other Causes of ESLD
In addition to fear of being labeled as “alarmist” Brysse et al. discusses other possible causes of ESLD. For example, scientists tend to invoke the “principle of least astonishment”, whereby they typically choose the simplest of two possible hypotheses. However, the rate that climate impacts like Arctic sea loss and sea level rise are occurring and will occur is rather astonishing. Similarly, scientific conservatism introduces “an inherent bias in favor of existing knowledge and presumptions, and the avoidance of conclusions that seem excessively dramatic.”
Brysse et al. also believe “that the basic, core values of scientific rationality contribute to an unintended bias against dramatic outcomes…scientists are skeptical of all new claims, and ceteris paribus, the more dramatic the claim, the more skeptical they are likely to be.” Dramatic claims open scientists to criticisms not just from climate contrarians, but to their own peers as well.

Government climate advisers running scared of change, says leading scientist
This article is more than 2 years old
Rapid transformation needed, Kevin Anderson says, particularly in lifestyles of rich
“Academics have done an excellent job in understanding and communicating climate science, but the same cannot be said in relation to reducing emissions,” said Anderson. “Here we have collectively denied the necessary scale of mitigation, running scared of calling for fundamental changes to both our energy system and the lifestyles of high-energy users. Our paper brings this failure into sharp focus.”
Shortly after the study was published, Anderson posted a warning on Twitter about what he described as a cosy consensus between senior academics, journalists and government scientists, who were unwilling to publicly acknowledge the urgent system-level transformation required to tackle the climate crisis.”
https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2020/jun/26/leading-scientist-criticises-uk-over-its-climate-record

The World’s Rivers, Canals and Reservoirs Are Turning to Dust
“From the US to Italy to China, waters have receded, leaving nothing but barren banks of silt and oozing, muddied sand. Canals are empty. Reservoirs have turned to dust.
The world is fully in the grip of accelerating climate change, and it has a profound economic impact. Losing waterways means a serious risk to shipping routes, agriculture, energy supplies — even drinking water.”

Climate change will ‘fundamentally’ shift how Canada, allies handle Arctic: NATO chief
“Melting sea ice and warming temperatures in the Arctic will “fundamentally” shift the security challenges facing Canada and NATO allies in the region as Russia and China forge deeper strategic ties, warns the head of the military alliance.”
https://globalnews.ca/news/9087877/climate-change-canada-arctic-security-nato-trudeau-stoltenberg/
We must take control of the region before the godless commies, drunks & gooks, do.
We, White Anglos, are the ones who have made the Arctic warmer & removed the ice to make accessing the bounty of goodies beneath the ocean & tundra possible, therefore we are the masters of the Arctic.
Fuck the Chinese & Russians.

Dust to downpour: US weather whiplash shows climate change
Storms that dropped as much as 12 inches of rain in some parts of Eastern Kentucky caused devastating floods
A series of “once-in-a-millennium” rainstorms have lashed the United States in recent weeks, flooding areas baked dry by long-term droughts, as human-caused climate change brings weather whiplash.
And scientists warn that global warming means once-rare events are already much more likely, upending the models they have long used to predict possible disasters — with worse to come.
Up to 12 inches (30 centimeters) fell in one of these storms — the kind of downpour that statistical models say should only happen once in a thousand years.
It is “caused by an intensification of the global hydrological cycle & how it distributes water around the planet, influenced by human-caused climate change.”
While a rainstorm in Texas or Kentucky or Illinois is not unheard of at this time of year, these events were supercharged by an oversupply of atmospheric moisture — a direct consequence of the planet being hotter.

“I am a member of a fading generation of Americans who grew up in the 1940s and 1950s when the United States was a nation. I was a member of a homogeneous population with a common language, Christian religion, common morality, and shared values and outlook. In Atlanta Georgia of those years people in middle class neighborhoods didn’t bother to lock their doors, and 5-year olds could safely walk a mile to school. There was conformity, but it was because we were in agreement. Life was good. Families were large and close. Neighborhood schools were run by teachers and parents (PTA). Discipline prevailed because of upbringing, not from abusive enforcement. There were no police in the schools.”
I grew up in Pennsylvania, in the same world and time. Amerika today is a nightmare in comparison to then.

Climate change is increasing frequency of fish mass die-offs
“As the planet’s climate has gotten warmer, so has the prevalence of fish die-offs, or mass mortality events. These die-offs can have severe impacts on the function of ecosystems, imperil existing fish populations and reduce the global food supply. And the frequency of these events appears to be accelerating, with potentially dire consequences for the world if global carbon emissions are not substantially reduced over the 21st century.”

Heatwave in China is the most severe ever recorded in the world
A long spell of extreme hot and dry weather is affecting energy, water supplies and food production across China
“Low rainfall and record-breaking heat across much of China are having widespread impacts on people, industry and farming. River and reservoir levels have fallen, factories have shut because of electricity shortages and huge areas of crops have been damaged. The situation could have worldwide repercussions, causing further disruption to supply chains and exacerbating the global food crisis.
People in large parts of China have been experiencing two months of extreme heat. Hundreds of places have reported temperatures of more than 40°C (104°F), and many records have been broken. Subway stations have set up rest areas where people can recover from the heat.”

Good one Duncan. Fascist propaganda from Spain, Italy, Germany, Proud-boys, etc is full of homoerotic imagery. They long for a strong hot-N-sweaty daddy to pin them to the ground & whisper naughty words in their ear.

The present crisis in male reproductive health: an urgent need for a political, social, and research roadmap
Background
There is a global crisis in male reproductive health. Evidence comes from globally declining sperm counts and increasing male reproductive system abnormalities, such as cryptorchidism, germ cell tumors, and onset of puberty. Male factor infertility occurs in ~40% of couples experiencing infertility. Data demonstrate an association between male infertility and overall health. Associated significant health conditions include diabetes mellitus, metabolic disorders, and cardiovascular disease.

Abstract
Obesity as disruptor of the female fertility
Both obesity and overweight are increasing worldwide and have detrimental influences on several human body functions including the reproductive health. In particular, obese women undergo perturbations of the ‘hypothalamic pituitary ovarian axis’, and frequently suffer of menstrual dysfunction leading to anovulation and infertility.

One of Florida’s largest home insurers is exiting the market, leaving thousands of homeowners scrambling to find new coverage as options continue to dwindle in the Sunshine State.
It comes right in the middle of hurricane season and amid an exodus of companies from the market.

As sea level rise continues all insurance companies will eventually bail then my other prediction
– east coastal real estate rush to the exits. Over a trillion in property ‘value’ goes POOF! practically overnight & so might the entire economy (my other prediction – CC is gonna break the bank)
