The Overpopulation Myth: Humans Will Stop Replacing Themselves By 2020

Bilderberg publication The Economist celebrates rapidly falling fertility rates

The Malthusian elite are doing such a good job lowering global fertility, exactly what White House science advisor John P. Holdren called for in his 1977 book Ecoscience, that humans will stop replacing themselves soon and world population will begin to decline. This is celebrated by The Economist, a Bilderberg owned and controlled globalist mouthpiece, who laud the figures because less humans mean less global warming in their view.

However, since radical environmentalists are pushing to completely de-industrialize the world, reversing a trend that naturally lowers the amount of children people have, if climate change fanatics are allowed to implement their policies, global population will continue to increase and overpopulation will become a problem – another example of how the global warming hysterics are actually harming the long term environment of earth by preventing overpopulated countries from developing and naturally lowering their birth levels.

Of course, the globalist agenda to reduce world population by 80%, a figure achievable only via draconian and genocidal measures, has nothing to do with the environment and everything to do with whittling down the number of slaves so that they can be more easily controlled on the plantation.

Go forth and multiply a lot less

THOMAS MALTHUS first published his “Essay on the Principle of Population”, in which he forecast that population growth would outstrip the world’s food supply, in 1798. His timing was unfortunate, for something started happening around then which made nonsense of his ideas. As industrialisation swept through what is now the developed world, fertility fell sharply, first in France, then in Britain, then throughout Europe and America. When people got richer, families got smaller; and as families got smaller, people got richer.

Now, something similar is happening in developing countries. Fertility is falling and families are shrinking in places— such as Brazil, Indonesia, and even parts of India—that people think of as teeming with children. As our briefing shows, the fertility rate of half the world is now 2.1 or less—the magic number that is consistent with a stable population and is usually called “the replacement rate of fertility”. Sometime between 2020 and 2050 the world’s fertility rate will fall below the global replacement rate.

At a time when Malthusian worries are resurgent and people fear the consequences for an overcrowded planet, the decline in fertility is surprising and somewhat reassuring. It means that worries about a population explosion are themselves being exploded—and it carries a lesson about how to solve the problems of climate change.



Behind this is a staggering fertility decline. In the 1970s only 24 countries had fertility rates of 2.1 or less, all of them rich. Now there are over 70 such countries, and in every continent, including Africa. Between 1950 and 2000 the average fertility rate in developing countries fell by half from six to three—three fewer children in each family in just 50 years. Over the same period, Europe went from the peak of the baby

SOMETIME in the next few years (if it hasn’t happened already) the world will reach a milestone: half of humanity will be having only enough children to replace itself. That is, the fertility rate of half the world will be 2.1 or below. This is the “replacement level of fertility”, the magic number that causes a country’s population to slow down and eventually to stabilise. According to the United Nations population division, 2.9 billion people out of a total of 6.5 billion were living in countries at or below this point in 2000-05. The number will rise to 3.4 billion out of 7 billion in the early 2010s and to over 50% in the middle of the next decade. The countries include not only Russia and Japan but Brazil, Indonesia, China and even south India.

The move to replacement-level fertility is one of the most dramatic social changes in history. It manifested itself in the violent demonstrations by students against their clerical rulers in Iran this year. It almost certainly contributed to the rising numbers of middle-class voters who backed the incumbent governments of Indonesia and India. It shows up in rural Malaysia in richer, emptier villages surrounded by mechanised farms. And everywhere, it is changing traditional family life by enabling women to work and children to be educated. At a time when Malthusian alarms are ringing because of environmental pressures, falling fertility may even provide a measure of reassurance about global population trends.

The only thing capable of bringing down the worlds population is an uncontrolable outbreak of disease or war on a scale similiar to the black plague which wiped out 60% of Europe.

Even the Spanish flu which killed 100 million in the early 1920s did little to significantly dent the overall world wide population.

Ax, what IS the "myth" of overpopulation?

The word "myth" does not occur anywhere in your post.

No, the point being is that IT IS a myth !

I think Ax is trying to tell us something.. I just cant quite figure it out..

Iconoclast

So, is 10 plant eating beef cattle on 6 hectares of arable land overpopulation? Yes, by about 4 head.

Is 10,000,000,000 omnivore homo sapien on 6,000,000,000 hectares over population? There is no room for error in fair distribution or a calamity or war or pestilence or energy crisis. Since we cannot dodge every bullet, 10 billion is over population. That is not a myth.

Credulity is for children, Ax. Start crunching factual numbers for yourself, Ax. Alex Jones is not the font of all knowledge, Ax. Ask for evidence, and actively find evidence that contradicts it. Then ask which side is likely upon balance, to be most/least true.

I have, I do, I change my mind often. You appear to be stuck in a one size fits all methodology. ie everything that happens happens because of a conspiracy.

Here is my (a) suggestion to you. Think about what ever is the second most likely explanation (after conspiracy) for something that happens. Now research that explanation.

I'll cut to the chase in true axiomatic fashion by suggesting that the term "over population" implicitly allows for the concept of population density .


You seem to be sprouting all the rothschild/rockefeller et al green puppet rhetoric .

Do the math !

The world's population could fit into the state of texas with less pop density than new york city ...naturally leaving the rest of the world's arable land to sustain it ! Just imagine if our beloved science could make the whole of australia inhabitable ? oh gosh .

Matt, you are on a roll today! This is a post of the month contender!

I also liked Ax's follow up!
