Overpopulation

In the late 1960s, there was a scare due to a book, “The Population Bomb,” which warned of the environmental consequences of overpopulation. USDA agricultural economist Lyman Stone admits that it is, “not even close to a serious problem. Even globally, overpopulation is an overstated problem.”

  1. Here all this time I was under the impression it took sunlight and heat to evaporated Ocean Water . That in turn makes clouds and dumps rain on the land. So why are they creating artificial cloud cover to block out the sun. Plants need sun light too. It seems these people are taking the wrong approach to stop wild fires and feed to World. Or maybe they don’t want to?

    1. The simpletons that believe that melting ice will rise the oceans are being duped. Put ice in a glass, fill it with water and wait until the ice melts. Did it overflow the glass? Nope.

      1. How many fools does it take the melt an ice cube..The ice cube is in the water already. Just let me know if the water level rises when you add ice cubes to the Glass of water. That’s what happens when Antarctica melts.

  2. Is Biden’s and AOC ‘s green new deal going to replace my tomato plants that were frozen by the record setting snowfall and freeze that set records in the midwest this week? Seems that the global warming hoax which has now evolved into climate change is not working out so well since it is a total farce. These charlatans need to be held accountable for trying to destroy our economy and way of life.

    1. You need to be more informed on what Climate change is, how it works and the domino effect it has on the World. Global warming is the cause of the climate change that is affecting the world in different ways in different continents.

      1. Sorry, but alarmists like you have been wrong on every prediction since the 1960’s from the ozone depletion, global cooling, the world running out of oil in the 1970’s,
        not to mention the acid rain farce, and now man made climate change. Face it man has no control over the climate since it is regulated by the sun and other cosmic events. I think you are the one that needs to be informed.

        1. Absolutely correct Mark , the sun is the major determinant of the earths climate and man does not, can not and never will be able to control our climate . Man has always had to learn and adapt to what is thrown at him in order to survive . The earth has been around for four and a half billion years without humans and will be here for another five billion years with or without humans .

        2. Thank goodness a “few” more people are becoming AWARE of reality. “IT’S THE SUN STUPID” that is our ONLY source of outside energy and IT CONTROLS OUR WEATHER !!!!!
          p.s. — The “climate” has been changing since the creation of our solar system — and “it” will CONTINUE to do so.

      2. WHO CARES! The Elite are using this to take control of everything. Then your at their mercy for anything. Bill Gates owns 317 SECTIONS of some of the best farm land in America. What do you think he is going to do with it? I figure he is going to kill off a lot of people by making food so expensive many will die. He better have an ARMY with helicopters to patrol 317 square miles of farm land. Starving people don’t listen to their BS long. Another reason they want your guns. I think it’s all BS, like “CARBON CREDITS” They did NOTHING for the planet, but make some politician money while telling us how important they were for the planet. Heard anything about them in a while?

        I saw a article the said “WATER RIGHTS” are now being traded on the stock market. People may get a notice from some corporation that they can no longer use their wells on their land as corporations has managed to buy it out from under them. There have been wars fought over water rights in the Southwest in year gone by.

        I figure they are are going to screw up something they “The SMART ELITE” can’t fix and wipe out the planet. Like Gate trying to “DARKEN the SUN” for climate change. Nature will recover and start over. Maybe next time things will be different.

      3. SO are you going to stop travelling? Are you going to demand wealthy stop travelling? If you stop and they stop, we won’t have climate changers harping at us .

      4. It’s called seasons, it happens yearly, and has been so for millions of years.
        Remember me in 25 years.

      5. What is you proven reference and not an opinion of someone or yourself? The earth has been warming and cooling since it came in to existence. Remember the ice age? What caused the ice coverage to melt but left some to exist? Liberals have been saying this about as long as I can remember I am 75 years old but the polar caps still remain they melt a little bit and then refreeze. Winter has brought on snow and ice and spring time melts it away. Did climate change cause the recent snow in Ohio and that region? Have you given up all your modern convenience and moved back to a cave, wigwam, or log house with only a fireplace?

      6. What you call “climate change” we used to call weather which is not destroying the planet. BTW, The hottest year on record was 1934.

      7. The earth has gone through periods of warming and cooling and we’re still warming from the last cooling period. One thing climate alarmist never explain is how they’re so certain our current temps deliver most optimum benefit to life on the planet . The “Climate Change “ agenda is actually about politics, power and control of nations. Follow the money, from grants to scientists who for years had to tow the line , to the people and countries benefiting financially or being hurt financially by policies that have no affect on climate. It’s a huge scam and Trump called the world on it.

    2. AGREE ALL FALSEHOODS JUST LIKE EVERYTHING THEY TRY TO CONVINCE OTHERS OF. SNAKE OIL. ITS AL GUESS WORK DONE BY MATHEMATICAL EQUATIONS, WHICH BY THE WAY. ARE ALL QUESTIONABLE .AND WE MUST QUESTION THEORIES. SCIENTISTS DOUBT EACH OTHER. WE SHOULD DOUBT THEM.

  3. FYI. The past is history. What is the truth for today? New Florida Real estate motto: buy high sell low! $400 mill to raise sidewalks! Glad that’s not on my property tax bill.

    1. Ice levels are increasing at both poles and scientists are forecasting a global cooling of the earth which apparently is now underway . Will last for eleven to thirty three years ; so button up your overcoat . The global warming farce is over .

  4. Everything coming from these WILLFULLY IGNORANT LIBERALS is LIES. The data they swear proves the Earth is overheating now was in 1973 used to claim that by 2000 the world would be out of oil and deep into a new Ice Age. When they could not make money on the we are going to FREEZE LIES they flipped the script and started the FARCE that is Global Warming.

  5. Yes overpopulation, increased funding to globalist planned parenthood criminal organisation equals less globalist puppet, libby snow flake sheep .

  6. This is how the communists program the children, they control and indoctrinate their agenda to go out and be the poster child for crap! They want to ban all CO2, but plants use and need CO2 to grow!
    Just more manipulation by the communist controlled democrats!

  7. Yes this is a manmade catastrophe by communist democrats that are selling out our country to a one world order that china is hedging their bets they will be in charge!
    Notice how china scoffs at this and is making great military advances, that they bought from communist controlled democrats!

  8. I am very sure all these climate change idiots have never read the Bible !! God made the earth and the entire universe and he controls every happening ….So, like everything else these luniticts spout about climate change is a hoax thought up by elites to make billions of dollars for themelves and create control of the populus !

  9. The climate is affected by a number of things; none or which are under human control. The things that are being proposed will have only a small effect (if any) directly on the climate. And not all that would be good. But those proposals would have a major impact on our economy, food sources, energy resources, and employment. It would expand the size of government as well as increase the power and control of the government. This is all a part of the Biden plan. We have to look at the details and the logical results that would follow.
    J. Barnhill said: “W\here the people fear the government you have tyranny. Where the government fears the people you have liberty.”

  10. The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, all of them imaginary.
    H. L. Mencken

  11. Crazy climate changers just can’t stop themselves from telling you what not to do. They MUST stop traveling on jets. Planes, and using up more carbons in a month than you do in a year! Otherwise IGNORE THEM.

  12. I question whether we can put windmills or solar panels basically on all unoccupied land and even get enough power to run our homes — and once we have just electric cars, no friggin’ way. And long road trips — visiting family — will be a thing of the past.

    Now, when my wife and I visit our daughter in Norfolk, we take the roomier (and more comfortable) of our two cars.  We drive about half way, stop about 15 minutes for a fill-up, and then drive the rest of the way. Counting lunch, maybe a 10-hour trip. When we stop for a fill-up, there may be a hundred or more gas pumps available.

    But with an electric car, how many charging stations will be available? (And this doesn’t get into the question of where the power will come from.) A full charge might take four or more hours — if there is no wait to use the charging stations. With the range issue, one stop becomes three or more — and what took ten hours may take a full day or more.

  13. Have you noticed all the commercials touting climate change show the same polar bear and the same glacier sloughing they have been showing us since the 80’s?

  14. At the top of the climate scheme, there’s between 7% to 12% of the actual people that keep everyone that’s been brainwashed going.
    The real president of the United States of America Donald J Trump. Put a large dent in their scheme, and now they are on full throttle to make up for lost revenue.
    They have fooled the world into believing this hoax, and it’s astonishing that this many people are so uneducated in this hoax.

  15. And yet… they are all for turning 3rd world energy users into 1st world consumers! And how many acres of wild land have to be turned into houses for MILLIONS of people attracted by Bidet? So tell me how this helps global warming ????

  16. I survived the earth cooling and freezing events that failed and I will survive the warming cycle as humans have since the beginning of recorded time. It has always been a cycle of cooling and warming.

  17. I have been hearing about the coming demise of the planet since the `60s but it is still here and still spinning around the sun. The only thing that seems to have changed is the increased hysteria and ignorance of the tree huggers and earth worshippers. Romans 1:18-25.

  18. And lie number 11 , Greta Sundberg is a cute and smart kid . Lie number 12 , John Kerry needs his private jet to get around .
    Go ahead John boy , block the sun . I’m sure your wife will appreciate having her tomato plants die and the shortage of Heinz Ketsup , Dipstick !

  19. In 1973 these same ECOMORONS were saying that by 2000The world would be in an ICE AGE and out of oil. When that LIE failed to come to fruition they went back and started the LIE of Global Warming. Gore has a mine that pollutes like crazy and pays a Million a year in Fines, WHY cleaning up their mess would cost far far more. Look at Obozo who demanded all sorts of so called Green things because if we did not do them all the Earth’s Islands would be under water along with all Coastal areas. He plopped down nearly $15 Million for a beachfront compound on Martha’s Vineyard if his WHINING was right he would NEVER do this. The ECO -IDIOTS are just wanting money or publicity.

  20. Not all predictions come true. But some do, like the 2009 housing crisis. Get rid of the regulations and you get chaos.  I heeded the experts and didn’t lose a dime. Here’s my prediction: we would likely be at war with Russia in the next decade.

    Russia’s has invested in dozens of defense facilities along its northern border.  It has dozens of nuclear powered icebreakers. Its expanding missle bases. It’s goal is to control the navigation routes through the Arctic. How?  Because for the first time in America’s history the Arctic is becoming ice free for longer and longer times of the year.  Alaska would be able to load northern Alaska oil onto ships rather than piping it south to ships to send around the world.  A shortcut to Europe. But Russia‘s goal is to turn this new navigation route into, maybe a tollway, and tell us it’s not international waters.
    You could blame the hundreds of billions of dollars in wildfire and hurricane costs that go up every year on just plain old natural warming, but it still hasn’t prevented by insurance rates from going up to pay for it. And now, billions to get ready for war with Russia? Anyway, that’s my prediction, just one of many.

  21. What’s in it for these goons, chicken littles and nincompoops? The earth should have ended some 20 years ago, yet here we are still. The only greenhouse gas we have capable of wreaking such havoc is carbon dioxide, and levels of CO2 remain remarkably stable. Hey, the late, great Isaac Asimov once said that if you are worried about damage to the earth’s atmosphere, then plant a vertical atmospheric converter in your yard: it’s called a TREE.
