Interesting tid bit from another article

Here are the numbers. Forty years ago, the average woman had between five and six kids. Now she has 2.6. This is getting close to the replacement level which, allowing for girls who don’t make it to adulthood, is around 2.3. As I show in my new book, Peoplequake, half the world already has a fertility rate below the long-term replacement level. That includes all of Europe, much of the Caribbean and the far east from Japan to Vietnam and Thailand, Australia, Canada, Sri Lanka, Turkey, Algeria, Kazakhstan, and Tunisia.

It also includes China, where the state decides how many children couples can have. This is brutal and repulsive. But the odd thing is that it may not make much difference any more: Chinese communities around the world have gone the same way without any compulsion—Taiwan, Singapore, and even Hong Kong. When Britain handed Hong Kong back to China in 1997, it had the lowest fertility rate in the world: below one child per woman.

So why is this happening? Demographers used to say that women only started having fewer children when they got educated and the economy got rich, as in Europe. But tell that to the women of Bangladesh, one of the world’s poorest nations, where girls are among the least educated in the world, and mostly marry in their mid-teens. They have just three children now, less than half the number their mothers had. India is even lower, at 2.8. Tell that also to the women of Brazil. In this hotbed of Catholicism, women have two children on average—and this is falling. Nothing the priests say can stop it.

The UN is a bunch of fear mongering morons who publish stuff purely to fund their agenda.

We are not AIDS. We are caretakers. we've simply lost our way.

And we're not overpopulated. Look at the world we live in. Hell, only look at the US. how many states like Wyoming, Arizona, The Dakotas, to simply name a few, are sparsely populated? I will never understand Why people cram in top of one another and then complain about over population. If you don't like it, move. And don't try using a job as an excuse. Let's be honest, hunter/gatherers didnt need jobs and they did just fine.

Not trying to start anything, just sayin...

I lol'd so hard at some of the comments in here.

Those who believe we're overpopulated, shouldn't you ummm kill yourself to help thin out numbers?

Makes no sense to me that you'd strongly believe that yet continue to help exhaust resources and contribute to our society.

because it's better to kill you, that way I can continue to attempt to repair the damage.
a lot of the issues would be corrected if society would grow up, so why doesn't it make sense to try and improve it? this is nothing more than learning to live within your means, taking care of your possessions, and stop using the credit card.
 
Lol, so ignorant. Why do people think that if there is still one spot of unpopulated land left that we have no problem at all, you make no sense. "oh look, the Sahara is t very populated, we must be just fine then". FOOLS
