Population

[SeminoleFSU]

Now the amount of stresses each human puts on the system both directly or indirectly is pretty large. Humans need to eat, so we have a footprint for that. We need transport, shelter, heat when it's cold, etc. And all that impacts the environment. Even when there were 2 billion of us the Earth could decently manage the impact, but we're over 7 billion now and the Earth is creaking under the strain. I've felt for years the biggest problem is not the CO2 we're generating but the total size of the human population, CO2 is just one of the effects. The Earth would be better off if we got down to about 2 billion of us, but doing that in less than 1+ centuries goes down roads that only monsters would contemplate.

Monsters are contemplating it.... and they're quite open about it. Georgia Guidestones being just one example. Of course they'll never require THEIR families to reduce THEIR footprints, it's only for us SERFs. It would also be extremely helpful if the elites would stop suppressing technologies that would allow the earth to sustain 7B or even more human beings on this planet with no problem... Without going into any of these here, people do die mysteriously all the time when they come up with something revolutionary that would reduce our dependency on the current energy monopolies the elites control.

(very much off-topic, skip if offended)
Bill Gates is on the record (TED talk) to be vaccinating to combat overpopulation. Warren Buffett supports him with his billions although Gates has plenty. They already had biolabs in West Africa close to where "Ebola" broke. And this new Ebola labeled virus really is nothing like East-African Ebola from the past. Just the name is the same, catchy. Strangely, in stead of quarantine, people were flow home from the affected areas with only superficial protection.
It's well established that vaccines can contain high dosages of detrimental compounds and elements. Defenseless infants are expected to take more and more of them. A wipe out events from live virus sold as vaccine was barely avoided (Baxter Ukraine live virus Czech ferret recall). For the recent bird flu scare, there were two vaccines, one for women and children supplied for free and one for politicians and family. Poland called off vaccination altogether over this as I recall. Curiously, scientists felt comfortable predicting specific mutations in the virus.

More on topic, I wish Tesla would make cars that bring as many BEVs on the market as possible rather than big as possible batteries in the limited amount of cars they build. A Model S with 60kWh was always fine. With 3C charging, it would be mighty fine and and sufficing for many. Especially with efficient Model 3 motors. Just not as Jetsons and cramped.

Wow.. if we could leave the nutty conspiracy garbage out this thread, that would great.

Sounds too risky
