hey, I take no blame. I'm gay, that's natural population control. Besides, my mother already told me she hopes I have a daughter just like me and she died before she could take it back and now I'm terrified to have kids incase it comes true. Well if it does you'll know pretty much what she's up to - you'll have been there and done that long before her...she won't be foolin' you!! LMAO |

UN estimates of world population growth indicate something like 9.5 billion people on our planet by 2050, but the present 6.83 billion world population “has reached a stage where the amount of resources needed to sustain it exceeds what is available.” Further, climate change, the collapse of fish stocks, and the extinction of species “may threaten humanity’s very survival.”[16] In addition, environmental exposures are now causing almost one-quarter of all diseases, including respiratory disease, cancers, and emerging animal-to-human disease transfer. Pressure on the global water supply has also become a serious threat to human development as the demand for irrigated crops soars. The report also estimates that many of the world’s most important rivers will shortly fail to reach the sea all year round because of upstream irrigation demands. Each person’s “environmental footprint” has on average grown to 22 hectares of the planet, although the report estimates the “biological carrying capacity” is somewhere between 15 and 16 hectares per person. Critically, fish stocks, a key protein source for several billion people, are in crisis. About 30 percent of global fish stocks are classed as “collapsed” and 40 per cent are described as “over-exploited.” The exploitation of land for agriculture has hugely increased as populations grow and living standards rise. A hectare of land that once produced 1.8 tons of crops in 1987 now produces 2.5 tons. But that rise in productivity has been made possible by a greater use of fertilizers and water, leading to land degradation and pollution. “The food security of two-thirds of the world’s people depends on fertilizers, especially nitrogen,” the report says. In turn, the nutrients running off farmland are increasingly causing algae blooms. In the Gulf of Mexico and the Baltic Sea these have created huge “dead zones” without oxygen churchandstate.org.uk/2012/06/heading-for-a-world-apocalypse/ |
