When will we face the fact that when the earth is paved with roads and housing there will be no soil left for crops? When the ocean is so polluted there can be no seafood? When the polar ice caps melt there will be millions moving to high groung where YOU (hopefully) live?
Population growth will be a very significant factor in Global warming. It is in the best financial interests of business to promote an increasing population because otherwise there would only be replacement business. What a bummer that would be for them!
If you want a fight, just try promoting a "population no growth" world.
One can't worry about what happens when the rescources (iron, copper, oil, land, aluminum, potable water, etc.) are gone when there is a bigger buck to be made TODAY by promoting GROWTH!!!! Why that would be against FREE ENTERPRISE (spelled GREED)!!!!!!

For some who prefer to remain ignorant and wasteful it will be when they HAVE to start changing their life and no sooner. They prefer to believe that everything is status quo and all of the evidence is wrong or the people are lying.
Remember zero population growth back in the 60's and 70's ? I have always wondered what ever became of that concept. I did my part and refused to be breeder.

Have faith in mankind's ingenuity!!! Quit spreading despair.
In the 1800-1900's light was provided by whale oil. This caused fisherman to hunt the whales to near extinction. Well, Thomas Edison came along with ingenuity and created the light bulb. We need to look for possiblities rather than standing on the street corner waving a bell yelling, "The end is comming".

Oh my god, we are running out of resources!!
Seriously?
Did you know that everyone in the world could live in Texas and the population density would be the same as Manhattan? That means there would be a whole lot of earth not being ruined by that scourge, man.

Never. The earth's resources are not finite. The earth is continuing to process them daily. Oil is a natural result of the earth's continuing formation and internal processes. This is the same for gold, coal etc...when we will learn that envirowhacoism is just straight up propaganda?

Sin always brings about a disease that takes a good many of us out. If we could live according to how God intended for man to live, then we could live on other planets. However, since we choose not to live as God wants us to live, then some sin will always cause some disease that will take a great portion of mankind off the earth.
Either way that I look at it, I'm going to trust God for my protection and provision. Man can't do anything right...only God can. This is the day the Lord has made - rejoice in it.

When we run out of food; water and air. Not before. I am glad that I am 84 years old and will not be around to see this happen. Unless someone really pulls things together, we are on our way to self destruct.

When we run out of them, of course. ;) Collectively, people can only prepare as far as they can see, and if it's not within their line of vision they generally turn a blind eye to the problem.
