The “inconvenient truth” overhanging the UN’s Copenhagen conference is not that the climate is warming or cooling, but that humans are overpopulating the world.
A planetary law, such as China’s one-child policy, is the only way to reverse the disastrous global birthrate currently, which is one million births every four days.
The world’s other species, vegetation, resources, oceans, arable land, water supplies and atmosphere are being destroyed and pushed out of existence as a result of humanity’s soaring reproduction rate.
Ironically, China, despite its dirty coal plants, is the world’s leader in terms of fashioning policy to combat environmental degradation, thanks to its one-child-only edict.
The intelligence behind this is the following:
-If only one child per female was born as of now, the world’s population would drop from its current 6.5 billion to 5.5 billion by 2050, according to a study done for scientific academy Vienna Institute of Demography.
-By 2075, there would be 3.43 billion humans on the planet. This would have immediate positive effects on the world’s forests, other species, the oceans, atmospheric quality and living standards.
-Doing nothing, by contrast, will result in an unsustainable population of nine billion by 2050.
#74-Phydeau-It’s a conspiracy…
You play the fool well, but then you’ve had a lot of practice.
#80 I don’t know how much practice you’ve had, Dodd, but you play the right-wing nutcase very well yourself.
And I say, bravo. Keep on representing yourself as “conservative”. It’ll scare all the thinking people away from the Republican party.
77, Phydeau, You see what you want to see. That is your prerogative. Nice try in trying to skirt that fact that you were simple-minded enough to fall for it. FYI, I was baiting and you fell for it.
You’re right, I could have brought up that the Europeans were kissing his a55, but how would that be baiting you? It wouldn’t have been nearly as abrasive if at all.
I could have and did express that he didn’t deserve the award based on a lack of demonstrating any merits to receiving it. Go read the very first sentence on post #73.
But no, I don’t have a “thing” about race. You just can’t accept that you took the bait and were simple-minded enough to be duped. LOL. If I have a “thing” about race it’s that I love dating women of all races. Life is a buffet bar and I love going back for 2nds and 3rds depending on my mood and what flavor I want.
And your point of bringing up Tiger’s diverse ethnicity is? I made the Tiger comment due to another Dvorak forum post where Liberals were essentially saying Tiger hates blacks due to his preference in White women.
You want things to be a racial debate because that’s how Liberals see the world. Hey, I got another “racist” comment. We should all go by a Meritocracy system. If you’re a true Liberal, you’d oppose any such thing on the basis that you believe a Meritocracy is racist.
FWIW, I’m a Libertarian (not to be confused by the Progressive Libertarians). But thanks for proving my point that you only see things in shades of Democrat vs. Republican. You still think I’m somehow a Republican.
But you’ll probably respond back with one of Fusion’s more endearing comments of Libertarians in that we are just “greedy Republicans”. LOL.
#82 You go ahead and spin it that way, Guyver. You brought up race where it wasn’t warranted, then claimed it was just a trick question when someone challenged you. Maybe people will believe you.
My apologies for calling you a cowardly Republican. Not that being a Libertarian is a step up.
83, No spin was needed. I clearly made a statement that pointed out that the Europeans were no different than America with a cynical abrasive comment. If you’re still convinced that I’m somehow a “racist” for making such an abrasive comment and that logically the only conclusion you can make is that I’m a racist, then you’re just jumping to a hasty conclusion. A logical person would know there are other possibilities other than the single one you’re concluding. You just take things racially.
I gave you the straight dope and you’re predisposed to see things from a racial perspective. Oh well. I’m not worried if you’re not convinced. Your logic is crippled due to your partisan viewpoint.
As for Libertarian not being a step up, I don’t go asking government for hand outs, help, or anything else. I can actually do well on my own without government. It’s Liberals and Conservatives who try to use government as an instrument of force.
Liberals use it for money and Conservatives use it for morality. Liberals have a herd mentality pushing for group rights while Libertarians / Conservatives push for individual rights.

#71 Too bad you weren’t in Norway like I did. You missed all the snickering the regular Norwegians were doing about your beloved leader.
#75 Nice projection about your fears. Make sure you repeat that in front of your psychiatrist. There’s a pill for that.
#78 What about calling you an idiot. Would that be bigotry?

“I’m tired of all of these nutcases worshiping the planet. These people care more about the planet than they do for human life. We are the top of the food chain. [...]”
Don’t you get it? No planet, NO FOOD CHAIN! No food chain, WE ALL DIE!!!

# 55 Guyver:
“44, Phydeau, I’m not religious and I’m pretty comfortable with science. I just don’t go for government regulating and running my life / lifestyle.”
Yeah! I used to have this cool business where my cohorts and I would hang out at the crossroads and relieve weary travelers of their heavy, inconvenient gold and other burdens. Then the government made that illegal (by armed threat!). I think the government should reimburse me for my lost income!

The next sentence in the article after the excerpt shown here is:
“Humans are the only rational animals but have yet to prove it.”
Sadly, I think the rationality of the species is overestimated…
This is just pure logic. When you overpopulate you cause problems that just can’t be fixed.
Dubai has to use massive convoys of trucks to haul away the fecal matter because the sewer system can’t handle the number of people living there.
The Chinese and the Indians are going to have big problems in the next 100 years. I think its time to send them condoms, not technology.
I can only imagine what this would do to taxes. If the discrepancy between those who work and those who don’t – in this case the elderly – increases even more, it’s going to be a nightmare
#82, Guyver,

You “acted” like an idiot and someone believed you. Gee, I wonder how that could have happened?
You don’t get it.

Not that anyone’s reading this thread any more… but that’s a great one, Uncle Patso!
