6.8 Billion and counting…

New Post (37) : 6.8 Billion and counting…

The bunnies are multiplying like---“all is well”.

LESS WILL HAVE TO BE THE NEW MORE.

There are 6.8 billion people already on the planet.
(…and growing unabated)

Even if the population clock stopped ticking today, we are (already) consuming way beyond the earth’s capacity to provide.

As the population (and means as well) expands, for developing nations, their historically meager slice of the consumption pie will expand. As a corollary---For developed nations, their slice of the pie will contract.

The growth of consumption is (only) the (visible) manifestation of the population problem.

The bunnies have to be persuaded to take it easy and slow down.
But that in ---most--- parts of the world is : Politically incorrect.

If we do not slow down, nature will slow us down.

Recommended further reading(exploration) on(of) the subject:
"The psycho-social stress implications of crowding", (which) has been the subject of much rigorous scientific study---on mice as subjects.
