The global climate change?

Question

I think that the world's leaders are some idiots.
They have known this for a long time before us, but have pushed it away time after time.
We have gained these problems with the world's population as we are now.
So what do it help to inform us of economising on everything,
when experts say that the earth's population will be almost doubled
within the next 50 years.
Don't you think that its a must, for all the world, that they make laws
that only allow 2 child per family.??

Answer 1

I won't deny that leaders are sometimes idiots, but you really can't blame them. Put yourself in their position; they have gigantic problems to deal with which have no easy answers. How exactly are they goign to keep the world's population down?

the obvious solution of limiting the number of children per family soon runs into a number of practical problems. For instance, how would we enforce an international law such as that? There's numerous other problems. Not everyone in the world have the same culture we do, and this definitely will interfere. Many people in third world countries wouldn't be able to maintain their lifestyle with this rule. In addition, you have to remember the numerous other cultures very unlike our own; even people in western culture would have issues with this.

We've already seen many problems in China with their One-Child Policy; divorce rate has considerably gone up, along with female infanticide, because of their emphasis on having sons rather than daughters to carry on the family line. There have been numerous cases where a husband will divorce his wife after having a daughter to find another wife and try again. This would leads to huge social problems, because you'll see more and more single mothers with daughters. And as time passes, they'll face a huge problem, where the majority of the population is a senior and unable to work anymore, so you'll have one child having to support their entire elder family and themselves, with little help from the government because of so many other people in the same situation.

Now of course those problems exist because China has a One-child policy; a two-child policy may not have such drastic consequences, but then will it really make a difference to limiting our population?

And Joseph C, this isn't just liberal crap... you're just being stupid and listening to what the equally idiotic Bush administration is saying. I'm a republican, but there is definitely scientific evidence (along with common sense) of overpopulation and global warming. Global warming does exist; it's a fact. You don't have to take my word for it, i'm just a nerdy high schooler, but at least look at the real evidence behind it, and not just political propaganda

Answer 2

There have been a prophecy, but instead a report of one of the strongest potentials that existed in our reality. These are events that we could see coming because you are slowly creating them. This is the ability for us to see the potentials of what we are creating that we cannot see. It was that the giant country was going to lose the stability of its largest corporations; the bastions of finance would fall over. It would start with insurance and it did. And it’s important we understand why. There’s no punishment here. These businesses did’t fall over because they were corrupt. Neither did they fall over because they did something wrong. Really, it does not work that way. If that’s the way it worked on Earth, many things would have fallen over a long time ago. Instead, it was the beginning of the seeds of change in finance and banking that spoke of integrity. The consciousness of the masses decided to reinvent the way bankers work their banks, insurance companies work their money. The rules had to change and they are doing so! Many are still wondering what happened. There’s a financial pruning going on within this planet. Now what are we going to do with this information? Can we see the picture here? Have we the courage, the maturity, and the insight to celebrate the recession? Can we say, that we are moving forward with a little more integrity in these things that we thought might even sink us. The conspirators will tell you that this and that are going to happen and we are all doomed. Ironically, the proof, is the recession! There still is no understanding that what we are actually doing is pruning the system for integrity. The United States has a president of color. That wasn’t supposed to happen for many more generations. There simply was too much hatred, too much bias, too many issues and too many problems between races to allow for this. Yet it happened. With all the racial strife, perhaps we wondered how they would ever resolve those racial issues? Yet against all odds, they elected a man of color. This can only happen with a consciousness shift. These are not esoteric events. These are events around us in real life.

Answer 3

At two children per family the human population will cease to exist after a dozen or so generations. The sustainable population rate is 2.1 children per female. Many countries are less than 2.0 right now: China, Japan, most of Europe. The US is at 2.1 mostly because of Hispanic immigrants. China, Japan and much of Europe are in deep ca ca because of low birth rates. In Europe Spain is the worst at about 1.2 births. If this keeps up Spain will run out of Spaniards in about 3 to 4 more generations. It is highly unlikely that the world's population will double ever again because as cultures become more prosperous birth rates decline significantly.

Answer 4

I can only speak for Denmark. Among 10.000 people, asking if they will accept a law about 2 child per family,(November 2006) 78% say yes, 15% No, and 7 % say they don't know.
But I think the culture here is different from usa.

Answer 5

Personnally I think its a very good idea but you can't force people to be sterilized or use contraception so therefore you can't enforce it.

Answer 6

NO! Take your liberal misguided beliefs elsewhere! OVERPOPULATION IS ANOTHER LIBERAL MYTH LIKE GLOBAL WARMING and I encourage everyone to HAVE AS LARGE OF FAMILIES AS THEY CAN AFFORD. Yes, even borrow to have more if you have to!

Seek counseling for your liberal condition.

Answer 7

Never gonna happen....
