The world's population, expected to grow from 7.4 to 8.5billion by 2030, threatens diverse ecosystems, agricultural production and the distribution of water.
That's why academics Richard T.T. Forman and Jinguo Wu mapped out areas around the world - from large swathes of South America to scattered areas of Oceania - that would best accommodate the inevitable population growth. ...
Could these 'experts' possibly be so oblivious? (I'd advise following the money that financed this report.) Human population numbers growing like late-stage melanoma is only "inevitable" if we insist upon moving hundreds of millions of people into less overpopulated areas. But then what? Where do we jam the next billion people after that? And the next billion after that? And why in the world should our ultimate goal be to see how many more countless teeming billions of humans we can stuff onto the Earth's surface before there are ever more massive die-offs and nature finally readjusts us back into the limited natural and cultural resources called the real world?
Plus, as the Daily Mail points out, this nutty study completely ignores destroying lower birthrate cultures, among them Western civilization, and the eventual multi-national population crash as the then absent relatively more wealthy, pathologically altruistic West's technology, foreign aid, environmental initiatives and countless busy-busy-bee do-gooder efforts come grinding to a halt.
