Survival Planet
Why is it a nono to discuss overpopulation of our planet by humans?
In a study, rats showed more agressive behaviour, when they reached a certain level of population in a restricted area, despite enough food. Today, we have 7-8billion people on this planet, only 10% with our energy consumption and byproducts. If only 50% of the rest get to our level of glutonosity, our planet is doomed very quick. Signs of stress are already everywhere. Are politicians more concerned to grow voters for the short term then for our survival in the long term? What is your opinion?
Well yes, people in general have horrible foresight. It’s always somebody elses job, everybody always passes the buck. When this happens problems never get solved, they just get put off.
It doesn’t have to be about overpopulation either. Think about renewable energy. We already have a profitable energy source–oil. We are not trying to find renewable energy because it is the right thing to do to save the environment but rather because we are running out of the black gold.
Overpopulation brings up a moral issue though. If we are to reduce it, how would we go about doing that? Would we have to exterminate people? Would we have to mandate the use of contraceptives? When you mess with human life, people get mad. It’s just safer, politically, to stay out of the entire debate.
