#1 Where to start? With a larger population, death *has* to increase, unless you're a big fan of immortality. And if more people live in a flood plain, there will be more "flood victims". Add to that the nutrient rich soil of a flood plain making it the best agricultural area around, and surprise.

Bangladesh has some of the *most* fertile soil in the world, so why are the vast majority of their not-overpopulated population living subsistence lives?

Three reasons: Islam, socialism, and international aid.

Were it not for those three things, Bangladesh could have a standard of living higher than Switzerland in a decade or two.

Unlike ten years ago, it is now obvious how Islam subdues and prevents prosperity, and socialism is about as bankrupt. This leaves the monster of international aid.

Bangladesh society is subsidized by the world to grow jute, a fiber nobody wants and cannot be eaten, on the best farmland in the world. Their government, per capita larger than the US government, has as its largest agency, "The Department of Jute".

Each year, billions of dollars of international money go into the rat hole of the Bangladesh government, on the condition that they only grow jute, not anything edible or useful. In return, the government of Bangladesh insures that its people do no improve their standard of living by one iota.

The international community does this kind act because they do not want to compete with successful Bangladeshi agriculture. How nice.

Yes, clearly, mother Earth is to blame for this situation.

#2 Just another example of the anthropomorphism of green "intellectuals".

Or maybe they're just pagans.

#4 Oh please...Nature has nothing to do with Man's stupidity in choosing places like flood plains, skirts of active volcanoes, low lying areas prone to tsunami's and hurricanes and other spots where the weather and other natural events that have always occurred. To paraphrase my geology professor, "If you live on a volcano, you don't get to complain when it erupts."

#5 I should think the moonbats would welcome such a culling. They should shut up, sit back, and let the Earth fight back since most of them hate humanity anyway.
