Isn't it utterly ridiculous for people who breed as if there's no tomorrow calling the childless selfish. They demonstrate a complete ignorance of the meaning of selfishness. It is the breeders who the selfish ones - putting themselves first at the expense of others.
carlitoab Yes! I am 24 and my grandma is asking me when will I have my own kids. No, grandma, I don’t want to have kids of my own and that doesn’t make me selfish.
Reese Willis I understand your comment and...you are soooooo wrong. It already is overpopulated by our species. Massively so. It will only not get worse if a major cataclysm kills off a shitload of us. So far the current “plague” ain’t doin’ the job.
Idk I take pride in not having kids yet at 23. I do envy those who do have children to connect with. But something in me is saying I'm doing the right thing by not having kids after kid. I do feel like there is overpopulation.
I'm 65 years old and have still not managed to grasp why folks want to bring children into this blood soaked cesspit of a world - it just one huge slaughterhouse
And they still call people selfish. Selfish is bringing someone to a place like this just because you want it, and without the kid having any chance to decide.
@@mikaham681 the world isnt happy about them. But yeah your happiness is so important that u are willing to decrease the happiness of your kids their friends and like all future Generations. U see? That is the problem we are talking here about. What u did was for your happiness regardless of what would be the morally right thing to do. So you are Selfish. And yet u are here talking to the people, who made maybe for their happiness, but definetly for the worlds happiness the right choice, As if they did something wrong etc.
A brilliant and brave young lady speaking the truth. At 62 it only took for me to escape the indoctrination of go forth and over populate, which was misinterpreted form the original Hebrew writing. It was meat for plants, fish and wildlife to go forth and populate not humans. Watching the movie Soylent Green open my eyes to what could would happen in the near future. At 10 years old I witnessed my local counties forests, rock outcrop ecosystem, cascading streams, rivers, Flora, Fauna and Funga all get heartlessly and selfishly plundered and destroyed for more homes, business and human selfish wants. Today the largest intact section of forest is 311 acres. I have worked hard for conversation and live a fairly minimalist life. At my age and the experience I have seen in my life I have give up. I chose at 21 to be neutered and had no children and am so glad i did. Do let anyone tell you that you can not live a fulfilled life without having children. That statement is total BS and false.

So is there any logical reason for you to exist? That you exist, and that so many other people need to exist, explains pretty much why we need more than 7 billion people in the world.
Yosef MacGruber No, there isn’t... if I didn’t exist and many others as well, we’d have no consciousness. Those that continued life would deem the benefits of a natural, healthy earth.
Panda, you do realise they just kill people and control the rest, right? If we started off smaller, then by your logic, they easily would have stopped us from populating too much. So clearly your whole assertion is wrong.
@@robbenvanpersie1562 People here reproduce on a large scale because either they think its fun or they have been taught that its mandatory. I mean look at the stats, marriage ceremonies, new births still on the rise. Even a pandemic cannot stop it or atleast put some hold on it.

The earth has been here for billions of years through disasters and extinctions. It will repair itself and continue to be, with or without humans and diversity will flourish again.
Exactly. The ego of man I swear. Its always been one group dominating another. Corporations and politicians are the reason why conditions are the way they are. People not utilizing technology.
I'm a firm believer in one child policy being implemented globally.i come from a big family and understand the importance of raising a child to the best of your standards because if we all thought like this the world would not be in the mess it's in .
It sucks that all these deadly chemicals are placed into our water. Everyone talking about supply and demand, but noone demanding they supply a healthy/better option. They try and fix the problem/reaction and use the cause as a reason to. The cause still remains the same though - something along the lines of profits.
This is the issue everyone should think and talk about but people think about having a family and how amazing it would be for them. We're so ego agressive. Including me.
What's wrong is the use of abundance of resources. If the U.S. is less than 1% of the world's population, yet uses 75% of the world's energy, overpopulation isn't the issue. If it were, then it'd be the reverse.
Still not having a family might seem like the solution but it certainly isn't you can't ask someone not to be happy for your happiness or someone else's happiness they simply won't do that
In total anarchy, people will bitterly hate each so much for causing this nightmare situation, that people will lose all respect for one another and will gladly watch other people die.
Being stuck in traffic every day has me right on board with this. Dedicated minimalist, snipped and NEVER having children, community based food shopping. 💪 who's with me??
Shame on all those politicians who deny or refuse to see this as a MAJOR problem. They can organize as many conferences about climate as they want....as long as they will not accept to do something to stop this overpopulatIon. All species are disappearing (insects, animals, many plants....) but the number of humans is still increasing.....So where is the logic????
I believe history is their logic. China put in a one child policy to curb overpopulation in 1979. It did not work out so well. Many countries in the world today have zero or no population growth. Korea being one of those countries. My daughter lives there. She and her husband just had their first baby, and the government gave them 1 thousand dollars. It is even worse in Japan. The government there can not even get young people to marry. The problem for these 2 countries or any country is that you must keep your population at least stable to maintain your economy. If you allow your population to get to low, there will not be enough people to replace the workers to do the needed jobs that keeps their country running smoothly. On the opposite side is the country of the Philippines. Because the government is run by the Catholic Church, most people there do not believe in birth control. Those young girls start having babies when they are 12 years old, and only stop when they can't have any more, or die from lack of medical care. Birth control is available, but with the church against it and poverty, it's a losing battle for those young women. Having a child at such a young age means no education past the age of 12. Overpopulation there is a huge problem. The other problem country is India, and here again it is poverty. Our government can not go and tell other countries what to do. I hope this helps you see why controlling population growth is an unsolvable problem at this time. It is going to take many climate disasters, in many different countries before the world will come together to really solve this problem. Unfortunately, many people will be suffering.
The government needs to release an infertility virus... Or we do nothing and nature will take it's course (we'll start eating eachother to stay alive).
@@someyeeterontheblock2421 Problem is we can't control people in that way, people will break the rules and it will start arguements, which is why I believe half the population should be made infertile, it shouldn't be down to their decisions.
yes!! so glad someone is talking about this. This is the root of most if not all our problems! Why it isn't a more foreground part of the collective conversation baffles me. When will the cultural engineers integrate this into our societal vocabulary much like "going green" was "marketed" and "branded" in the early 2000s. I am constantly thinking of ways to catch phrase this with a positive connotation so it can be come a part of what is socially "fashionable". Procreate less; for a better future. Great to see a person from the younger generation already on it!
Ha! Let’s see her when she is childless, in her mid thirties..and her biological clock starts ticking,loudly! She‘ll go against everything she says. We Christians are having kids, lots off them!!! We are going to breed all of you out of existence!!
Zack Asmus God said to be fruitful and multiply.. we will grow our families large, unlike the boomers who lived for themselves and had only one or two kids.. The next generation plans on outbreeding they world and fill it with the Glory of the Lord. My children are still young, but I am already teaching them to marry early and have LOTS OF KIDS!! And you cowards will be bred out of existence... Man, now I feel like spending even more time with my wife today😉
Smart people are not having many children, less intelligent people are having many children. You can teach an intelligent person to have no more than two children, but not someone with an IQ of 80. I know a man who is simple-minded who had 12 children. I know many people with IQs in the 120s and 130s who never had any children. We are evolving right now in the wrong direction, populations will continue to increase for a few decades but eventually it will end in an ecological disaster that will kill billions and numbers will crash.
In American education spend more money on children that have learning challenges than on Smart children. China is spending more money on smart Children by lot. Who do you think is going to be the new super power in 20 years one that has all the smart educated people. The good news it is a socialist country that limits talent. I forgot America is turning socialist to match its education system.
So much work is put into dealing with an increase in population (finding ways to grow more food, finding/producing more fresh water, finding ways to handle the waste, etc.), rather than finding a way to stem the population growth itself. That approach has its limits and cannot continue. How can we continue to increase food production decade after decade? A significant effort into solving the root cause of the problem is key. Thank you for speaking up about this important issue.

Thank you for posting this. The world is overpopulated and the situation is getting worse each day. Consider this: "The human population will have to become much smaller in the future, hopefully by human will and through compassionate means. If not, then nature will devastate the human population-nature, conflict and war. You will have a smaller world to live in. Perhaps only a billion people could live here, maybe two, but not much more. That is with your advanced technology and your best efforts, a strong international community, tremendous cooperation and the mitigation and the limiting of conflict and war. In other words, if everything is done well and correctly, with immense human contribution, you will still have to have a small world population." ~The Great Waves Prophecy (by Marshall Vian Summers)
The only issue I have with this is the use of the term "overpopulation" We say the deer are "overpopulated", because we don't like them eating our gardens, and use this as an excuse for extermination. "Over-" is a judgment, and evaluation. That's not a scientific statement. A better focus is on Carrying Capacity. The population is fine as long as we live within our means. The issue isn't that "there are too many humans". The issue is that the earth cannot support 8B people without cheap petroleum, now gone forever. The issue is when human population collides with natural limitations of the resources we need to live.
Jozko Mrkvicka the problem is inbreeding country’s are all destroyed because inbreeding depression causing hate for others that are not family members, hence massive civil war, now they are going to other country’s and doing the same thing. Further more these people usually can’t be reasoned with and are mostly unemployable which causes a massive strain on the host country. Governments need to outlaw all inbreeding and introduce genetic human therapeutic modification to fix the damage already done and the Good People in the population need to support this strongly, so that eventually we can decrease the population because at the rate things are going some how some way the elites will cause mass extermination.
More politicians need to talk about this. It needs to be globally known what's happening and the devastating future we have in store if we don't stop it.
The problem is that you people think you get to decide who lives and who dies. You want to be able to live and have a great life. But others who would get in the way of that must be removed.
Just tell me how do you exactly think billions of people now and in the future will dissapear? Are you threatining the life of unborn children? Who told you there's an issue with so-called overpopulation?
I look to places like China, which acknowledges that it cannot sustain an ever-growing population; so it introduces caps on the number of children. I think all countries should introduce something similar; with encouragement to adopt children too. Equally; we need to use the land we've got available rather than expand (forestry reduction) Africa is a large space with a small population compared to Asia. We need to fertilise this space and use it to allow the current Global population to cultivate appropriately. Just some thoughts on the matter..
Ok, so the cap on children in China sounds good maybe, in theory, until you realize that infanticide, forced abortions, and human trafficking are all results of this. It is not the solution that you think it is.
That cap is gone in China. In general overpopulated countries the people will migrate to other countries where there are not so many humans. Lots of migration going on right now from overcrowded countries to those that are not. And they can come here they can have as many children as they want and they will overpopulate here as well. In some of the Nordic countries they now realize that when the immigrants from the Muslim countries' children grow up they may end up being those who have the voting power. They frequently have 10-14 children and if the man has several wives, or mistresses they will birth a big lot of babies as well.
A G but that’s not smart because one you get past a certain age especially even in the 30s the risk of a difficult or even fatal pregnancy increases greatly and there will be some who will find it to be to late to even have kids. People should have kids in their later 20s cause that’s still a good fertile time but it’s also not fresh out of college and gives time to reason how many kids one wants. We don’t want to turn “overpopulation” into a crisis where we still have a lot of people but they are all old and cannot care for each other because there are not enough generations who are old enough (or young enough relatively speaking) to do so

Please stop believing that we have an overpopulation problem when we don't. That's what we are being made to believe. Please watch Ralph Bodelier, he shatters this overpopulation myth.
Bro India's per capita carbon emissions 16 times less than to a western Citizen SO Ac to me more dangerous for over planet is overconsumption . I admit that India's population is 1400 million but Now India's TFR rate only 2.1 in 2021 nd Ac to Lancet report in 2100 India's population will decrease from 1650 million to 1090 million ( 33% decline in 21st century). Over planet's more dangerous problem is overconsumption . So we should have to focus on-1. Control overconsumption 2. child and women development that will stablize population.
That's an unwise way to make choices in life. Seems to me if you are going to go along with someone you should at least know WHAT they are talking about. Then you should ask yourself, "How" they know that. Look at the real issue here. WHERE this information comes from and WHY it is being told to you. We're talking about a small population of privileged people granting themselves the "authority" to enslave billions of people on the earth to their will under the guise of fear mongering overpopulation, while ignoring those responsible for mismanaging the world's resources, and you are just going to skim by and thumb up this act like it's that simple?!?!

Give everyone their own land, let them grow their own food, and let them use rainwater catchment systems. I don't understand when people say we will run out of food and fresh water.
Climate change is setting the stage for currently productive land being much less productive; we are pumping unsustainable amounts of water from the aquifer in California and the Midwest; rainfall patterns are changing such that dry lands get drier, wet lands get wetter, and periods of wetness and dryness are much longer than historically.
Because that system is so innefficient that you'd already need a massive extinction before you have enough land for everybody to work that inneficiently.
Overpopulation is the USA is nothing, not an issue at all. Ask an Indian like me what overpopulation feels like. Often seen people in the USA not finishing their food no matter how expensive it is, but I grew up in a middle-class Indian family in India and I never saw anyone do the same here. Indian don't throw anything unless it is used in every possible way (unless super-rich, or need no savings), but Americain doesn't mind throwing a slightly defected Microwave Owen into a dustbin.
Nonsense, Rishav. It is a problem in the USA. It is a problem here in Australia, and we have a fraction of the population of either country. I wonder, with all due respect, Rishav, if your point of view helped justify you jumping the sinking ship and moving to the USA, rather than staying in India and trying to make a difference where it really matters. The movement of money and expertise out of India does not help the Indians left behind... and the numbers they add to their adopted country creates a new burden to already compromised environments. India is a mess... along with Pakistan and Bangladesh. They need you where you were rather than where you are to help fix things. We are happy to help all we can but not at the expense of our own natural environments.
@@user-rj5kx8wr6y I'm sorry but air pollution in India is some of the worst air pollution in the world.

Fertilty rates over the hole world are dropping. World population fertilty rate is at the moment around 2,3 children and dropping (2,1 = sustainable). It's projected that we'll peak around 2080 and then population will drop. So no signs of overpopulations. This Girl needs to do her homework if you'll ask me.
The main ecological problem is not over population but a) over production and over consumption caused by capitalism's need for infinite economic growth and b) production being geared towards short term profit and as a result ignoring long term ecological consequences

We need to alter the stigma around adoption. I understand the desire to raise a family but I don't understand why people think they need to make new humans instead of taking in the ones that are already here. It should be a privilege that people WANT to obtain rather than a burden only a few choose to bare even then on the most specific terms and conditions. Also... LEGALIZE ABORTION AND STOP FORCING PEOPLE TO GIVE BIRTH!
Because there are biological mechanisms that make you care more about your own child? Also, why waste your resources on some one else’s genes? Dimwit take all in all
Why do you care so much what others chose to do? If you want to adopt children, then go do it. But don’t demand others forego giving birth to their own children.
Population Matters, endorsed by eminent people such as Sir David Attenborough. It can be an emotive subject but it has to be discussed maturely and openly. Even Pope Francis is talking about it because he has serious concerns about the damage we are doing to the planet and ultimately ourselves.
If the Pope would ever be sincere he would lift the ban against contraceptives. A European Catholic may ignore the ban and makes light of it, but in parts of Africa and in the Philippines the Catholic Church still oppresses and manipulates the believers. A sad fact. They are taking advantage of the poor and uneducated people in the Global South. I like Population matters and of cause Sir David Attenborough.
Mushrooms can also help to filter out toxins from bodies water, as well as be used to (slowly, lol) clean up oil spills! Mushrooms are amazing organisms.
No, tech has. Food is now plentiful and cheap enough for no one on earth to starve to death. The only thing keeping anyone from it anymore is their government. We now produce 10x what we did in the 70s, within the same space, using less farmers. We now have mastered genetic manipulation, look in to CRSPR, the gene editing software. It is theoretically possible to turn matter into energy and vice versa (E=MC2). That means we will be getting replicators soon. We have new nuclear tech that will make our current uranium stores last thousands of years instead of 10. WE HAVE SOLVED MOST PROBLEMS, FUNGUS IS UNNECESSARY.
This talk of "shortages" is ridiculous. You don't just wake up one day and find the world is out of a resource. As a resource starts running out, prices increase, and people adjust their behavior accordingly. As it is, food prices have only dropped as the population has exploded. In 1950, the average American family spent 30% of their income on food. Now its about 8%. But if feeding everyone was becoming a problem, you'd see prices reflect that, and people have less kids as feeding them became more difficult.
1. Desire to live => prevent starvation => stabilized food supply => stabilized life and more humans able to be born => more humans = more demand => need of excessive food supply to manage increasing population => rapidly increasing food demand exceeds food production => starvation => need to stabilize food production but resources are already assigned at maximum capacity. increasing population is already a problem, but there is another 2. technology development => longer life expectancy => but longer life expectancy doesn't mean expansion of range of economically active age => more inactive population => yet there are already a lot of population which cause more babies to be born => more inactive (or dependent) population => more dependence => more resource distribution to support dependants => the resource decrease even more rapidly and distribution is not efficient => decreasing rate of development yet resources are continuously spent just to be alive. I believe there is optimized population such that it maximizes tech / cultural / mental development. The world has too much population.
We put pressure on the planet and ourselves. The more we are, the less comfortable we live, the more we need to work. I believe we are over 10 billion, but like everything else, it's hidden from the public.
there are approximately 1 billion of developed people on earth who are educated , self aware , have high standard of living and are actually concerned about global problems our earth is facing today such as global warming , pollution , depletion of resources and of course overpopulation , but the other 6.5 billion people who are not educated and do not know about these threats are actual threats to our earth , and 90% of those live in developing countries . these people have ideologies which contradict human values and rights such as big families are more prosperous families , giving birth to a boy is proud in family and birth of a girl is a sin , women being dominated by men etc which makes these people a threat to humanity . these people worship these ideologies blindly in the name of religion and when we try to educate them , we are cursed and even blamed by the society as racists . this is the actual problem that no one discuss about and many people in the developed world don't know about.
Assuming that all people in the developed countries are educated is naive. Also the principles in those countries are not always the best for the planet when they consume 70-80% of world resources
It is both. But in life u almost sign a contract to have whatever done to you without ur consent, the earth doesn't care u are meant to die one way or another with or without pain and misery
@Igneous Zepuloon me neither. I’d feel bad if a dog died, because dogs are only forced to kill by humans. But when humans die, I won’t feel a thing, because humans will keep killing each other
In modern developed countries the population is stable, since people there rarely have more children than 2, if they have children at all. Families in underdeveloped countries often have 7 children, while these countries aren´t capable to deal with this. The best solution to this is help them out, make sure they will have the technology and capabilities equal to modern countries.

I wish these Ted talk people would have to face a panel of people forcing them to defend their positions. Personally I’m curious as to how much drinking water (if any) we actually harvest from the polar ice caps as she claims glacial melt causes a loss in obtainable fresh water. Isn’t drinking water mostly derived from rain due to evaporation of ocean water?
There is no overpopulation, its just people staying in one particular place over time. New York City is overpopulated. But there is Rochester, Buffalo 😆 New Jersey.....Wyoming. We are not overpopulated on this planet. Its about location.
I do believe you have missed the point. When we say overpopulation, we mean the amount of people that this planet can feed and water, not places to live. You see, we live on this plant, and this planet has some resources that we use to live. The 2 major ones are water to drink, and land to grow food on. We can not replace these two things. Especially drinking water. So overpopulation means there are to many people to feed and water. Our plant can not make more of these things, what we have right now is all we are going to have. To many people will use up the water and land that then we will all die. Do you understand?
1970: 3.670 milliards ; 1980 : 4.440 milliards ; 1999: 6.040 milliards ; 2017 status: 7.530 milliards . What is it in 2019 7.8 milliard??? what will it be in 2020, 2025,2030 ? 10 milliards? 12 milliards? People, slow down! we are killing ourselves here
In Africa we are less densley populated than Europe We have 1.5billion people becuase our continent is really really big MANY AFRICAN HOUSEHOLDS HAVE MANY KIDS BUT NOT ALL WOULD BE BIOLOGICAL CHILDREN IT IS PART OF OUR CULTURE TO TAKE IN CHILDREN FROM FAMILIES THAT ARE LESS WELL OFF OR HAVE MORE KIDS

Isn't it utterly ridiculous for people who breed as if there's no tomorrow calling the childless selfish. They demonstrate a complete ignorance of the meaning of selfishness. It is the breeders who the selfish ones - putting themselves first at the expense of others.

@Reese Willis your comment doesn't make much sense.

A brilliant and brave young lady speaking the truth. At 62 it only took for me to escape the indoctrination of go forth and over populate, which was misinterpreted form the original Hebrew writing. It was meat for plants, fish and wildlife to go forth and populate not humans. Watching the movie Soylent Green open my eyes to what could would happen in the near future. At 10 years old I witnessed my local counties forests, rock outcrop ecosystem, cascading streams, rivers, Flora, Fauna and Funga all get heartlessly and selfishly plundered and destroyed for more homes, business and human selfish wants. Today the largest intact section of forest is 311 acres. I have worked hard for conversation and live a fairly minimalist life. At my age and the experience I have seen in my life I have give up. I chose at 21 to be neutered and had no children and am so glad i did. Do let anyone tell you that you can not live a fulfilled life without having children. That statement is total BS and false. Jim Rodgers
I do not see any logical reason for the need for 7 billion people on earth.
So is there any logical reason for you to exist? That you exist, and that so many other people need to exist, explains pretty much why we need more than 7 billion people in the world.
Yosef MacGruber No, there isn’t... if I didn’t exist and many others as well, we’d have no consciousness. Those that continued life would deem the benefits of a natural, healthy earth.
Whoever said it was a need anyway? Humans are made to reproduce. Its because more people = less control. We're controlled by the government.
People are like weeds. They just appear one day and are hard to get rid of.
Panda, you do realise they just kill people and control the rest, right? If we started off smaller, then by your logic, they easily would have stopped us from populating too much. So clearly your whole assertion is wrong.

It sucks that all these deadly chemicals are placed into our water. Everyone talking about supply and demand, but noone demanding they supply a healthy/better option. They try and fix the problem/reaction and use the cause as a reason to. The cause still remains the same though - something along the lines of profits.
This is the issue everyone should think and talk about but people think about having a family and how amazing it would be for them. We're so ego agressive. Including me.
What's wrong is the use of abundance of resources. If the U.S. is less than 1% of the world's population, yet uses 75% of the world's energy, overpopulation isn't the issue. If it were, then it'd be the reverse.

Shame on all those politicians who deny or refuse to see this as a MAJOR problem. They can organize as many conferences about climate as they want....as long as they will not accept to do something to stop this overpopulatIon. All species are disappearing (insects, animals, many plants....) but the number of humans is still increasing.....So where is the logic????
It is not only that they don't want to stop overpopulation, many of them even support it!
I believe history is their logic. China put in a one child policy to curb overpopulation in 1979. It did not work out so well. Many countries in the world today have zero or no population growth. Korea being one of those countries. My daughter lives there. She and her husband just had their first baby, and the government gave them 1 thousand dollars. It is even worse in Japan. The government there can not even get young people to marry. The problem for these 2 countries or any country is that you must keep your population at least stable to maintain your economy. If you allow your population to get to low, there will not be enough people to replace the workers to do the needed jobs that keeps their country running smoothly. On the opposite side is the country of the Philippines. Because the government is run by the Catholic Church, most people there do not believe in birth control. Those young girls start having babies when they are 12 years old, and only stop when they can't have any more, or die from lack of medical care. Birth control is available, but with the church against it and poverty, it's a losing battle for those young women. Having a child at such a young age means no education past the age of 12. Overpopulation there is a huge problem. The other problem country is India, and here again it is poverty. Our government can not go and tell other countries what to do. I hope this helps you see why controlling population growth is an unsolvable problem at this time. It is going to take many climate disasters, in many different countries before the world will come together to really solve this problem. Unfortunately, many people will be suffering.
She's right about the overpopulation issue. But maybe it's in the cards for humanity to either solve it, or suffer from it. Only time will tell...
The government needs to release an infertility virus... Or we do nothing and nature will take it's course (we'll start eating eachother to stay alive).
The planet will suffer more than humanity
Just have less kids
@@someyeeterontheblock2421 Problem is we can't control people in that way, people will break the rules and it will start arguements, which is why I believe half the population should be made infertile, it shouldn't be down to their decisions.

yes!! so glad someone is talking about this. This is the root of most if not all our problems! Why it isn't a more foreground part of the collective conversation baffles me. When will the cultural engineers integrate this into our societal vocabulary much like "going green" was "marketed" and "branded" in the early 2000s. I am constantly thinking of ways to catch phrase this with a positive connotation so it can be come a part of what is socially "fashionable". Procreate less; for a better future. Great to see a person from the younger generation already on it!

Having just one child is enough. Even having 2 children is still okay. The problem is when you have more than 2 children.
Smart people are not having many children, less intelligent people are having many children. You can teach an intelligent person to have no more than two children, but not someone with an IQ of 80. I know a man who is simple-minded who had 12 children. I know many people with IQs in the 120s and 130s who never had any children. We are evolving right now in the wrong direction, populations will continue to increase for a few decades but eventually it will end in an ecological disaster that will kill billions and numbers will crash.
In American education spend more money on children that have learning challenges than on Smart children. China is spending more money on smart Children by lot. Who do you think is going to be the new super power in 20 years one that has all the smart educated people. The good news it is a socialist country that limits talent. I forgot America is turning socialist to match its education system.
So much work is put into dealing with an increase in population (finding ways to grow more food, finding/producing more fresh water, finding ways to handle the waste, etc.), rather than finding a way to stem the population growth itself. That approach has its limits and cannot continue. How can we continue to increase food production decade after decade? A significant effort into solving the root cause of the problem is key.

Thank you for posting this. The world is overpopulated and the situation is getting worse each day. Consider this:
"The human population will have to become much smaller in the future, hopefully by human will and through compassionate means. If not, then nature will devastate the human population-nature, conflict and war. You will have a smaller world to live in. Perhaps only a billion people could live here, maybe two, but not much more. That is with your advanced technology and your best efforts, a strong international community, tremendous cooperation and the mitigation and the limiting of conflict and war. In other words, if everything is done well and correctly, with immense human contribution, you will still have to have a small world population."

The only issue I have with this is the use of the term "overpopulation" We say the deer are "overpopulated", because we don't like them eating our gardens, and use this as an excuse for extermination. "Over-" is a judgment, and evaluation. That's not a scientific statement. A better focus is on Carrying Capacity. The population is fine as long as we live within our means. The issue isn't that "there are too many humans". The issue is that the earth cannot support 8B people without cheap petroleum, now gone forever. The issue is when human population collides with natural limitations of the resources we need to live.
Doesn't it occur to her that she's talking to the wrong people
no the problem is not africa growing too fast. The problem is west dying out too slow :)
Jozko Mrkvicka the problem is inbreeding country’s are all destroyed because inbreeding depression causing hate for others that are not family members, hence massive civil war, now they are going to other country’s and doing the same thing. Further more these people usually can’t be reasoned with and are mostly unemployable which causes a massive strain on the host country.
Governments need to outlaw all inbreeding and introduce genetic human therapeutic modification to fix the damage already done and the Good People in the population need to support this strongly, so that eventually we can decrease the population because at the rate things are going some how some way the elites will cause mass extermination.
How is that?

There's actually a USA presidential candidate advocating for population reduction & planned economic degrowth. Check out Dave The Planet 2024.
Just tell me how do you exactly think billions of people now and in the future will dissapear? Are you threatining the life of unborn children? Who told you there's an issue with so-called overpopulation?
I look to places like China, which acknowledges that it cannot sustain an ever-growing population; so it introduces caps on the number of children. I think all countries should introduce something similar; with encouragement to adopt children too. Equally; we need to use the land we've got available rather than expand (forestry reduction) Africa is a large space with a small population compared to Asia. We need to fertilise this space and use it to allow the current Global population to cultivate appropriately. Just some thoughts on the matter..
Ok, so the cap on children in China sounds good maybe, in theory, until you realize that infanticide, forced abortions, and human trafficking are all results of this. It is not the solution that you think it is.
That cap is gone in China.
In general overpopulated countries the people will migrate to other countries where there are not so many humans. Lots of migration going on right now from overcrowded countries to those that are not.
And they can come here they can have as many children as they want and they will overpopulate here as well. In some of the Nordic countries they now realize that when the immigrants from the Muslim countries' children grow up they may end up being those who have the voting power. They frequently have 10-14 children and if the man has several wives, or mistresses they will birth a big lot of babies as well.
okay, and now the chinese government is now banning homosexuality because it wants people to have more kids.
lol china's one child policy was a failure... and a dystopian nightmare. Thankfully they ended it.
Who's here for Corona Virus Outbreak?
2020 is Real!
I've been saying this for years.
but no one listens, they have more children, been there, done that
Even delaying when we have kids has an impact.
Everything we do has an impact. We just have to go over what the impact is exactly, what are the short and long term effects? Can we strike a balance?
People should wait until their 30s to have kids. That way they have enough experience and wisdom and are able to make a rational decision.
A G but that’s not smart because one you get past a certain age especially even in the 30s the risk of a difficult or even fatal pregnancy increases greatly and there will be some who will find it to be to late to even have kids. People should have kids in their later 20s cause that’s still a good fertile time but it’s also not fresh out of college and gives time to reason how many kids one wants. We don’t want to turn “overpopulation” into a crisis where we still have a lot of people but they are all old and cannot care for each other because there are not enough generations who are old enough (or young enough relatively speaking) to do so
What Reading Dave is saying is that having kids later in life slows down the rate of population growth.

@@spiritsery1133 it's possible, but seeing people losing everything because of government restrictions for relatively mild flu makes you think.
For so many other beings on Earth the human population is way in excess of capacity. This important issue is NOT JUST ABOUT PEOPLE!
Right! Just a guess but for every 1 billion people on the planet that's 10,000 animals living entangled in a 6 pack ring. We should care more about the suffering we are inflicting on wildlife.
What is frightening to me is this is the only video i can find that discusses global economic destruction by the simple aspect of family planning and its un importance in our world. This girls in 10 minute video said it all. We cant budget and manage a world and its resources by taxing people and creating more jobs. Having babies should be the nimber one reasons when taking a choice when taking concerns for this planet.

Give everyone their own land, let them grow their own food, and let them use rainwater catchment systems. I don't understand when people say we will run out of food and fresh water.
Climate change is setting the stage for currently productive land being much less productive; we are pumping unsustainable amounts of water from the aquifer in California and the Midwest; rainfall patterns are changing such that dry lands get drier, wet lands get wetter, and periods of wetness and dryness are much longer than historically.
Because that system is so innefficient that you'd already need a massive extinction before you have enough land for everybody to work that inneficiently.
Overpopulation is the USA is nothing, not an issue at all.
Ask an Indian like me what overpopulation feels like.
Often seen people in the USA not finishing their food no matter how expensive it is, but I grew up in a middle-class Indian family in India and I never saw anyone do the same here.
Indian don't throw anything unless it is used in every possible way (unless super-rich, or need no savings), but Americain doesn't mind throwing a slightly defected Microwave Owen into a dustbin.
Nonsense, Rishav. It is a problem in the USA. It is a problem here in Australia, and we have a fraction of the population of either country. I wonder, with all due respect, Rishav, if your point of view helped justify you jumping the sinking ship and moving to the USA, rather than staying in India and trying to make a difference where it really matters. The movement of money and expertise out of India does not help the Indians left behind... and the numbers they add to their adopted country creates a new burden to already compromised environments. India is a mess... along with Pakistan and Bangladesh. They need you where you were rather than where you are to help fix things. We are happy to help all we can but not at the expense of our own natural environments.
This is quite nice English you got there. I forgot the word "dustbin" existed.
@@user-rj5kx8wr6y I'm sorry but air pollution in India is some of the worst air pollution in the world. Educating everyone all over the world about controlling population and consumption, require gardening in all schools and making your own food and wells and opt to adopt. ...that will change the world.
Fertilty rates over the hole world are dropping. World population fertilty rate is at the moment around 2,3 children and dropping (2,1 = sustainable). It's projected that we'll peak around 2080 and then population will drop. So no signs of overpopulations. This Girl needs to do her homework if you'll ask me.
The main ecological problem is not over population but a) over production and over consumption caused by capitalism's need for infinite economic growth and b) production being geared towards short term profit and as a result ignoring long term ecological consequences
Exactly. Why is eco facism a socially acceptable solution but being anti consumerism and anti capitalist is ?
Isn’t **
Single, child free people are the new modern day heroes!
The most ecological thing you can do is not to have kids, everything else pales in comparison.

"Man, if man you be in heart, not adamant, forbear that wicked cant until you have discovered What the surplus is, and Where it is. Will you decide what men shall live, what men shall die? It may be, that in the sight of Heaven, you are more worthless and less fit to live than millions like this poor man's child. Oh God! to hear the Insect on the leaf pronouncing on the too much life among his hungry brothers in the dust." - Ghost of Christmas Present (Charles Dickens “A Christmas Carol”)
We need to alter the stigma around adoption. I understand the desire to raise a family but I don't understand why people think they need to make new humans instead of taking in the ones that are already here. It should be a privilege that people WANT to obtain rather than a burden only a few choose to bare even then on the most specific terms and conditions. Also... LEGALIZE ABORTION AND STOP FORCING PEOPLE TO GIVE BIRTH!
Because there are biological mechanisms that make you care more about your own child? Also, why waste your resources on some one else’s genes? Dimwit take all in all
Why do you care so much what others chose to do? If you want to adopt children, then go do it. But don’t demand others forego giving birth to their own children.
Solution is born one kid,, if you wish more then best is adopt. Because there's so many children who needs parents and love. That's the only solution.
@@hardware144 , I'm totally agree with you. That's why I've planned to adopt atleast 2 or 3 children rather than to born a new baby.
Population Matters, endorsed by eminent people such as Sir David Attenborough. It can be an emotive subject but it has to be discussed maturely and openly. Even Pope Francis is talking about it because he has serious concerns about the damage we are doing to the planet and ultimately ourselves.
If the Pope would ever be sincere he would lift the ban against contraceptives. A European Catholic may ignore the ban and makes light of it, but in parts of Africa and in the Philippines the Catholic Church still oppresses and manipulates the believers. A sad fact. They are taking advantage of the poor and uneducated people in the Global South.
I like Population matters and of cause Sir David Attenborough.

No, tech has. Food is now plentiful and cheap enough for no one on earth to starve to death. The only thing keeping anyone from it anymore is their government. We now produce 10x what we did in the 70s, within the same space, using less farmers. We now have mastered genetic manipulation, look in to CRSPR, the gene editing software. It is theoretically possible to turn matter into energy and vice versa (E=MC2). That means we will be getting replicators soon. We have new nuclear tech that will make our current uranium stores last thousands of years instead of 10. WE HAVE SOLVED MOST PROBLEMS, FUNGUS IS UNNECESSARY.
If we are all tripped out there might be less wars.
This talk of "shortages" is ridiculous. You don't just wake up one day and find the world is out of a resource. As a resource starts running out, prices increase, and people adjust their behavior accordingly. As it is, food prices have only dropped as the population has exploded. In 1950, the average American family spent 30% of their income on food. Now its about 8%. But if feeding everyone was becoming a problem, you'd see prices reflect that, and people have less kids as feeding them became more difficult.
1. Desire to live => prevent starvation => stabilized food supply => stabilized life and more humans able to be born => more humans = more demand => need of excessive food supply to manage increasing population => rapidly increasing food demand exceeds food production => starvation => need to stabilize food production but resources are already assigned at maximum capacity.
increasing population is already a problem, but there is another
2. technology development => longer life expectancy => but longer life expectancy doesn't mean expansion of range of economically active age => more inactive population => yet there are already a lot of population which cause more babies to be born => more inactive (or dependent) population => more dependence => more resource distribution to support dependants => the resource decrease even more rapidly and distribution is not efficient => decreasing rate of development yet resources are continuously spent just to be alive.
I believe there is optimized population such that it maximizes tech / cultural / mental development. The world has too much population.
for the sake of saving the world I will not make more than 1 or 2 kids
We put pressure on the planet and ourselves. The more we are, the less comfortable we live, the more we need to work. I believe we are over 10 billion, but like everything else, it's hidden from the public.
there are approximately 1 billion of developed people on earth who are educated , self aware , have high standard of living and are actually concerned about global problems our earth is facing today such as global warming , pollution , depletion of resources and of course overpopulation , but the other 6.5 billion people who are not educated and do not know about these threats are actual threats to our earth , and 90% of those live in developing countries . these people have ideologies which contradict human values and rights such as big families are more prosperous families , giving birth to a boy is proud in family and birth of a girl is a sin , women being dominated by men etc which makes these people a threat to humanity . these people worship these ideologies blindly in the name of religion and when we try to educate them , we are cursed and even blamed by the society as racists . this is the actual problem that no one discuss about and many people in the developed world don't know about.
Do you think that the 4 percent of the world population that uses air travel give a hoot about the environment (exclude Kevin Anderson)?
Your ignorance IS our downfall 🤡 comrade
Assuming that all people in the developed countries are educated is naive. Also the principles in those countries are not always the best for the planet when they consume 70-80% of world resources

Listening to her talk I would think she is reading the ingredients on a box of brownies.
1 Billion only would be truly Heaven. Anyone who has more than one child is basically selfish. Cue haters...
In modern developed countries the population is stable, since people there rarely have more children than 2, if they have children at all. Families in underdeveloped countries often have 7 children, while these countries aren´t capable to deal with this. The best solution to this is help them out, make sure they will have the technology and capabilities equal to modern countries.

Personally I’m curious as to how much drinking water (if any) we actually harvest from the polar ice caps as she claims glacial melt causes a loss in obtainable fresh water. Isn’t drinking water mostly derived from rain due to evaporation of ocean water?
There is no overpopulation, its just people staying in one particular place over time. New York City is overpopulated. But there is Rochester, Buffalo 😆 New Jersey.....Wyoming. We are not overpopulated on this planet. Its about location.
I do believe you have missed the point. When we say overpopulation, we mean the amount of people that this planet can feed and water, not places to live. You see, we live on this plant, and this planet has some resources that we use to live. The 2 major ones are water to drink, and land to grow food on. We can not replace these two things. Especially drinking water. So overpopulation means there are to many people to feed and water. Our plant can not make more of these things, what we have right now is all we are going to have. To many people will use up the water and land that then we will all die. Do you understand?
The best way to reduce overpopulation is to send you people to preach your ideas in Asia and Africa.
