Number one reason for our grandchildren to suffer will be that there are so many of them. As long as the population grows without limit you will have wars and famines eventually.
- bobthechef 8y agoA lot of that "overpopulation" scaremongering is purely simplistic Malthusian nonsense. Consumption doesn't scale like that with population. Per capita, large families are more efficient. Besides, the population is predicted to hit a maximum of 9 billion, and the EU is aging rapidly which is a major problem. Instead of peddling unimaginative and lazy claims about overpopulation, people should focus on real issues like the glut of consumerism and the grotesque waste of very large quantities of food.
