About That Overpopulation Problem

right now.


And in the long term—on the order of centuries—we could be looking at the literal extinction of humanity.


That might sound like an outrageous claim, but it comes down to simple math. According to a 2008 IIASA report, if the world stabilizes at a total fertility rate of 1.5—where Europe is today—then by 2200 the global population will fall to half of what it is today. By 2300, it’ll barely scratch 1 billion.

Interesting and creepy.

Good morning, I didn't read the whole article but for years my thoughts are that wars, flu, aids, ebola and other infections and virus's are certainly all man made and a way to control the population. Just my thoughts.

I dont know that all of them are "created". I do believe that man plays with these bugs and makes a mess of it, some of them are sure to have been made for biological weapons.

I got to looking up Lentivirus one day, HIV is a Lentivirus. Its interesting to me anyway. perfectly well made.
