wow...now THAT is a startling graphic. I do think population growth has slowed considerably lately...

Wealth is the answer to the population problem, the more wealthy and secure people feel, the fewer kids they feel the need to have.

re: [" I'm not sure we, as a planet, can afford for this
growth rate to keep increasing or even remain steady, as that
would project the world's population to reach nearly 17 billion
by 2070."]

Nice graphic:



Don't think there's a UN depopulation agenda?

What do you think Ted Turner donated $1 Billion Dollars to
the United Nations for?

Turner is calling for a mere 2/3 reduction of the human
population, which he claims would allow 'everyone' to have a
decent standard of living, including a "refrigerator and air
conditioner."

“A reasonable estimate for an industrialized world society at
the present North American material standard of living would
be 1 billion. At the more frugal European standard of living,
2 to 3 billion would be possible.”
- United Nations, Global Biodiversity Assessment

"Childbearing should be a punishable crime against society,
unless the parents hold a government license. All potential
parents should be required to use contraceptive chemicals, the
government issuing antidotes to citizens chosen for childbearing."
- David Brower, first Executive Director of the Sierra Club

JONATHON PORRITT, one of Gordon Brown’s leading green
advisers, is to warn that Britain must drastically reduce its
population if it is to build a sustainable society.

Porritt’s call will come at this week’s annual conference of
the Optimum Population Trust (OPT), of which he is patron.

The trust will release research suggesting UK population must
be cut to 30m if the country wants to feed itself sustainably.

[Current UK population is 61 million, so the want to cut the
population in half. So, how do you suppose they plan to do that?]


Porritt said: “Population growth, plus economic growth, is
putting the world under terrible pressure.

“Each person in Britain has far more impact on the environment
than those in developing countries so cutting our population
is one way to reduce that impact.”

Population growth is one of the most politically sensitive
environmental problems. The issues it raises, including
religion, culture and immigration policy, have proved too
toxic for most green groups.

Australia Calls For Chinese Style One Child Policy
And 50% Population Reduction


infowars.net

Mrs Kanck, speaking as national president of the Sustainable
Population Australia group, said slashing population by
limiting families to one child was the only way to
avoid "environmental suicide".

Mrs Kanck has proposed a national population target of seven
million. The population is now over 20 million.

--------------------------------------------------------------

Sadly, "we" no longer have a voice in the matter.

The UN has determined that the global population must
be reduced for global "sustainability."

"Democracy is not a panacea. It cannot organize everything
and it is unaware of its own limits. These facts must be
faced squarely. Sacrilegious though this may sound, democracy
is no longer well suited for the tasks ahead. The complexity
and the technical nature of many of today's problems do not
always allow elected representatives to make competent
decisions at the right time."
- Club of Rome, The First Global Revolution

"Effective execution of Agenda 21 will require a profound
reorientation of all human society, unlike anything the world
has ever experienced - a major shift in the priorities of both
governments and individuals and an unprecedented redeployment
of human and financial resources. This shift will demand that
a concern for the environmental consequences of every human
action be integrated into individual and collective decision-
making at every level."
- UN Agenda 21

“It doesn’t matter what is true, it only matters what people
believe is true.”
- Paul Watson, co-founder of Greenpeace

"We've got to ride this global warming issue. Even if the
theory of global warming is wrong, we will be doing the right
thing in terms of economic and environmental policy."
- Timothy Wirth, President of the UN Foundation

"No matter if the science of global warming is all phony,
climate change provides the greatest opportunity to bring
about justice and equality in the world."
-Christine Stewart, fmr Canadian Minister of the Environment

There are over 2,400 paid lobbyists in Washington D.C. right
now pushing this Climate Change bill through Congress.

A rubber stamp, bought and paid for, blackmailed (if necessary),
and bum-rushed Congress that doesn't read, or even write
the bills, let alone know what's in them... are ram-rodding
through historic change.

Change that will surrender US sovereignty, and end America
as we know it.

Change that will lead to economic collapse of a degree, where
people will beg for a solution, any solution, even a ready-made
global solution they already have waiting in the wings.

Change that will send more industry, and more jobs to China
and India, and mandate taxes paid to globalist bankers in
the name of climate change.

Change that will enrich multi-national globalist corporations,
and impoverish middle class America.

Change that will surrender our childrens souls to socialist
indoctrination, and their bodies to "compulsory-volunteerism"
in the name of service to the state.

Change that will withold life saving healthcare treatment,
because the bankers looted the national treasury and there's
not enough money left to pay for it.

Change where you won't be allowed to live long enough to ever
collect social security, or further drain medicare, because
the bankers & politicians looted those funds too, and left
nothing but IOU's.

Change where dissent becomes hate speech.

Change where returning troops are put on enemies lists.

Change where "thought crimes" can lead to "preventive detention."

Change where Habeus Corpus, Posse Comitatus, the Bill of Rights,
and the US Constitution become distant memories.

Change where guns are bad, and FEMA camps are good.

Change where the rights of pedophiles are protected, but
yours are not.

Change where borders are open to illegal aliens and truckloads
of Narco-State dope, but become "constitution free zones"
for law abiding US citizens.

Change where property rights, contract law, the capital
structure... and capitalism itself are destoyed in the
name of wealth redistribution, otherwise known as socialism.

Yes, change is indeed here.
