Demographers Warn Of Impending Population Collapse - Urbanization blamed |
2022-06-07 |
[ZERO] Amid the deluge of dire predictions that the human population will rise exponentially, deplete the earth’s resources, and overheat the planet, two recent demographic studies predict the opposite—that the number of people will peak within the next several decades and then begin a phase of steady, irreversible decline. Irreversible. Like the rise of the tides, and the melting of the ice caps, and the Gulfstream jets of the Davos elites In some places, including Japan, Russia, South Korea, and most countries in Europe, that population collapse has already begun. China is not far behind. The United Nations has predicted that humanity will continue its rapid expansion into the next century, growing from just under 8 billion today to more than 11 billion by 2100. An oft-repeated interpretation of this data is that people are having too many babies, and many of the models for climate change and environmental degradation are based on projections like these. In August, the U.N. declared a "code red for humanity" over climate change and overpopulation, and analysts at investment bank Morgan Stanley stated that the "movement to not have children owing to fears over climate change is growing." However, a demographic study funded by the Gates Foundation and published in the Lancet, a medical journal, paints a much different picture. This study, conducted by researchers at the University of Washington, predicts that the global human population will peak at 9.7 billion within several decades, and then start to decline. "Once global population decline begins," the authors write, "it will probably continue inexorably." |

#18 From what I understand both China and Russia will be having serious demographic problems in the near future. |

#13 ...and many of the models for climate change and environmental degradation are based on projections like these. Garbage in, garbage out. |

#12 China's population is set to get smaller for the first time since the great famine struck 60 years ago. Why? And how will this affect the rest of the world? |

#11 There is no doubt Humanity is like a Virus, it grows and spreads itself. Currently, the USA is the #1 importer of its food. Followed by Communist China, Germany, Japan and the United Kingdom as Countries Who Import the Most Food. The Earth only has so much farmland, and we are seeing more and more of it used as human habitat. Maybe, as some have said, Covid-19 is Mother Natures way of trying to heal itself of a growing human virus? Or maybe it was part of some rumored Elite's worldwide human reduction plan? Or maybe the VAX will corrupt the next human reproductive gene pool? Or maybe another Government created pandemic, a Regional or limited World War might be seen by the rumored Elite as a means for population reduction. However you look at it, the Earths resources and cropland are finite. It's the Human population that is not. Experts predict in 30 years, more than half of the world’s population is expected to rely mainly on food imported from other countries. On the lighter side: It seems we already have Soylent Green on the market. 🍴 |

#10 They get it and they don't. When they're found to be wrong they change the narrative - equity and socialism. |

#9 Climate, population and economic predictions are like saying you predict you will win more than 50% of your guesses in a ca$ino. The bosses just quietly smirk. |

#8 Population is too high for the carrying capacity of the land in many places. Doesn’t mean it will decline- just that life will get rougher and people will die younger. When that happened in the past people had more children and earlier. How’s the population of Somalia holding out? |

#7 Irreversible. Like the rise of the tides, and the melting of the ice caps... It is easy to make bad predictions about complex systems you do not understand. |

#6 ZH has its predictable "only Merica bad" crowd and otherwise a mostly "the end is near" crowd. Still, worthwhile stuff does show up there. On occasion. |

#2 Computer "models." Aren't you glad that, at least for now, the bank's computers don't "model" your balance every day? |

#1 I believe these are the same people who predict worst hurricane season every year. |
