overpopulation
Nov 5th, 2022 at 7:55am
 
The greatest problem in this world is overpopulation:




In a video published on Sadhguru’s YouTube channel, which has amassed 10.4 million subscribers, the WEF spiritual leader champions people having fewer and fewer children and insists the global population, which currently stands at 7.9 billion, must be reduced by at least half by 2050.

“It is not that children are wrong. We were all children some time ago. It’s not about children being right or wrong. It’s a stupid question,” Sadhgur explains. “It is just that there was a time when a woman would easily have a dozen children in her lifetime. And it was normal. Three, four of them died. Seven, eight of them lived. That was normal. Now, most women who have children here probably have two; some of them slipped through and became three.

“Is there anybody who has four, five children here? Almost never,” he continued. “About 50 years ago, almost any woman in the region of [her] early 30s would have five children or six children. So you, somewhere you … got your sense in place. You decided that instead of having six, let’s have two or one. “

“Three planet Earths” are required to sustain adequate resources for the current population, Sadguru argued.

“If your sense can work to that extent, right now we are in a place where if we have to feed, clothe and offer a decent life for this 7 billion people,” he said.
“We need — for the standards that we’re thinking of, for the standards that most people are aspiring for — we need to outsource our resources from at least another three Planet Earths.
We need at least three more planets.

We could do that. It’s just that they aren’t there,” he said.”So, until we find such one, it’s good to hold your reproduction.

“It’s good to hold back your reproduction otherwise nobody is going to live well on this planet. It doesn’t matter what technology you bring, it doesn’t matter what you do, nobody is going to live well on this planet if you continue to increase. When I say continue to increase I want you to understand the volume of increase that we have caused.”

The global population, which has increased from 1.5 billion at the beginning of the 20th century to more than 7 billion, continues to grow society will suffer, the globalist leader warned.

“Now United Nations predicts that by 2050 we’ll be 9.6 billion people. At 9.6 billion people… even if the earth is exploited at its present rate or much more, each one of us will have to live with 40 percent less resource than we are living right now,” he said. “When I say resource, don’t think of some fancy things, I’m talking about food, water, air — these resources you will have to live with 40 percent less. That means nobody is going to live well. Yes? Just a few people who control a few things will be okay. All others will suffer in an [immersive] manner.”

“It’s time human beings function consciously…that just coming to zero percent growth is not good enough. We have to go into a minus,” he added. “Instead of projecting by 2050 we’ll be 9.6, why can’t we determine that by 2050 we’ll be 3.5 or 4 billion people?”

Sadhguru urges people to overcome their “compulsion” to have children and stop partaking in the “unpleasant” experience of  giving birth to control our population “consciously.”

“What is this compulsion about having a child? One thing, it is biological. Biologically, having a child is not a pleasant experience. If you don’t believe me ask somebody who’s delivered a child. It is just the fulfillment of being involved with something. It is the fulfillment of seeing something as a part of yourself,” he said. ” If you are committed and involved with something in your life, that fulfillment is very well taken care of.

“Because you can’t expand the planet you have to decrease the population. There is no other way. Either you do it, or nature will do it. When nature does it, it’s not going to be nice, it’s not going to be nice at all.”

I agree with Sadhguru.
The world's population is way out of control.
In a bit over 100 years it's multiplied by a factor of 5.
The people of the future will not have as good a lives as we've had.

The only reason we have a so called climate catastrophe is due to
overpopulation causing the burning of too much fossil fuels.
Africa and India are way out of control.
7 billion people just can't have the lifestyle of the 1st world countries
without wrecking our planet.

World Population Is About To Hit Jaw-Dropping Milestone

The global population will hit 8 billion



By Pandora Dewan On 10/12/22 at 3:57 AM EDT


The global population will hit 8 billion on 15 November 2022, the U.N. has estimated. While this figure is a clear indicator of success in public health and development, it also poses a challenge for sustainability and social and economic growth.

Despite uncertainties in trends in worldwide fertility and mortality, previous U.N. population estimates have been fairly accurate.

"Thirty years ago, in its 1992 revision of the World Population Prospects, we projected the world population to reach 8 billion in early 2020," Bela Hovy, from the Population Division of the United Nations Department of Economic and Social Affairs, told Newsweek.

"There are many uncertainties about the population data and population estimates for many countries and regions, so even the year of reaching 8 billion has to be taken with caution," Tomas Sobotka, a senior researcher at the Wittgenstein Center for Demography and Global Human Capital, told Newsweek. "But, based on the best available data and estimates, we can conclude that the world is reaching 8 billion around this year."


On average, each person on Earth is responsible for
the emission of four and a half tons of carbon dioxide every year,

and with each new person we can expect an increase in emissions.

However, the actual contribution of an individual varies significantly depending on what country they are living in. For example, a person living in the U.S. is responsible for the emission of 14.24 tons per year, while a person living in the Democratic Republic of Congo emits just 0.03 tons.

Asia is the most populous continent in the world, with 4.68 billion people accounting for nearly 59.5% of the world population as of 2021. Africa is the second most largest continent by population, with around 1.37 billion people, or 17.4% of the world's population. Only these two continents have crossed one billion milestone. Asia and Africa, together share about 77% of the global population. Europe has a population of around 748 million (9.50%), North America is home to around 597 million (7.58%), South America, the second least populated continent, has about 434 million inhabitants (5.51%). Oceania (43 million) is the smallest continent on the basis population if Antarctica is excluded as there is no population estimates for Antarctica by UN (World Population Prospects 2019).

Top three biggest subregions belong to Asia Continent : Southern Asia (1.96 bn), Eastern Asia (1.68 bn) and South-Eastern Asia (675 mn). 46.4% of the world's population lives in Southern Asia (24.9%) and Eastern Asia (21.4%). Southern Asia includes India, the 2nd most populous country and Eastern Asia includes China, the most populous country. Micronesia is the smallest subregion followed by Polynesia having less than 1 mn people.

Africa has the highest population growth rate as all three subregions growing over 2% are in Africa. Middle Africa has highest rate of close to 3% followed by Western Africa and Eastern Africa growing over 2%. The population growth rate of Africa (2.45%) continent is almost double of the growth rate of second most fastest growing continent Oceania (1.27%). Except Africa and Oceania, remaining four continent have growth grate below 1%. Population of Asia (0.83%), South America (0.81%) and North America (0.76%) are increasing with almost similar rate. Eleven subregions have growth rate above 1%. Europe is the only continent with modest growth rate of 0.06% as lowest three ranked subregions are located in Europe. Southern Europe and Eastern Europe have negative growth rate.

With 39 mn more people in 2021 compare to 2020, Asia is the top contributor of the total world population increment closely followed by Africa (32 mn). These two together account for 89% of the total global population increament. Remaining all four continents have total increase below 5 mn.

Population of Europe is about to rech its peak level in 2021 and Asia and South America is projected to peak in 2055. Population of Africa, North America and Oceania will not peak until 2100.

As per the OP

“Because you can’t expand the planet you have to decrease the population.
There is no other way. Either you do it, or nature will do it.
When nature does it, it’s not going to be nice, it’s not going to be nice at all.”

The problem is that those that are expanding their population will get to a point where their standard of living is so low that they will just pack up their stuff and move to places that have their population and standard of living in equilibrium. There are places in Europe where the population is stable or on the decline. And the influx of African and Middle Eastern people is only cushioning the falling population. Only the Middle East and African nations that lose their citizens to places like Europe are just replacing their numbers with more births.

Therefore, the self-inflicted decline in the standard of living is occurring in both Europe and the third world, all due to the third-worlders not giving a damn about stabilising their population and creating a first-world environment. And it is self-inflicted in those areas of the third world as many African and Middle Eastern countries have not been part of a European colonial power's control for over 50 years.

The Africans are invading Europe right now.
