      Ok, I have a serious question on Overpopulation bugging me out. After this video and reading other sources, studies, books ("Empty Planet", Darrell bricker) I am astonished on how Wikipedia treats the subject, leaving no space to the hypothesis it could be just alarmist myth.
      Now, normally I trust Wikipedia and when I see a huge discrepancy between a theory and what's stated on Wikipedia I see at least a warning light something's possibly wrong.
      I know wikipedia is not the bible (pun non intended), but do you have any idea on why this discrepancy?

      @TheJester-ct5pi 4 года назад +43

      @The Noobest Girl It shouldn't be. Overpopulation is still the #1 driving force behind climate change. According to the EPA, In the U.S. roughly 75% of all CO2 emissions are generated by transportation, energy, and industry demands. Although most people enjoy living in a nice house, with electricity, shopping on Amazon for clothes and tech gadgets, such a lifestyle is detrimental to our environment and a strain on our finite resources. Even with the emergence of green technology our energy demands must be drastically reduced. The truth is modern civilization is unsustainable. The way I see it there are 2 paths our species will choose: Either governments will be given more power to regulate markets and stifle climate change at the expense of our natural liberty, so that the many (7 billion or so) across the globe can live in moderation (that is if governments of all countries can agree and follow through with such a plan), or we will undergo some sort of depopulation via vaccination, war, or totalitarian rule in which few (500 million, maybe less) can live moderately lavish lifestyles to ensure sustainability.

    • @TheJester-ct5pi
      @TheJester-ct5pi 4 года назад +22

      @Nick Arjomand Calm down for a second. You're saying climate change is driven by consumption, I agree. Our current levels of consumption (in the United States) are unsustainable if the entire world were to follow suit. Climate change would be catastrophically worse.
      I have a question for you: What constitutes a reasonable amount of daily consumption and energy usage per individual? If you think that the average American uses a reasonable amount - to drive to work, energy for their home, to put food on the table, relax with entertainment - then you see the problem isn't with consumption, it's with overpopulation. Too many people trying to live a decent life given modern technological advancements is driving climate change. Do you see what I mean?
      And if you can't determine a reasonable figure for daily consumption and energy usage per individual, should such a number be determined by a government entity, to enforce restrictions on individuals limiting what they can and can't do? This is a very complex issue that can't be responded with "that is a load of bullshit".

    • @TheJester-ct5pi
      @TheJester-ct5pi 4 года назад +15

      @Nick Arjomand I never said overpopulation is the "single cause". Population is not decreasing, it's still increasing, while CO2 emissions are increasing as well to meet the demand. Plus you didn't answer my question. Don't bother wasting your time typing if you have nothing valuable to say.

    • @TheJester-ct5pi
      @TheJester-ct5pi 4 года назад +17

      @Nick Arjomand You went from saying carbon is increasing while population is decreasing. Now you're saying "it's" not increasing by the rate that it used too" - what is "it"? Were you wrong before or are you wrong now? You need to be more specific idiot. You're an example of why depopulation is the solution and not reduced consumption. Return this world to it's natural state and allow natural selection to do its job.

    • @TheJester-ct5pi
      @TheJester-ct5pi 4 года назад +20

      @Nick Arjomand SimpliGene. I've done a bit of research on you, you seem pretty intelligent for your age. Why then is it hard for you to comprehend that in order to combat climate change there exist multiple solutions; reduced consumption, and/or reduced population. The fewer people, the more consumption per capita, the greater quality of life. The more people, the less consumption per capita, the lesser quality of life. Why choose the latter over the former for the continued improvement and progression of our species? Please tell me you understand.

      en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Population_curve.svg . Overpopulation is *not* a myth, it is already here, even if the hopeful conjecture that the growth will stop turns out to be correct. (An aside: how annoying that the video presents the conjecture as fact. Kurzgesagt is usually better than this.) But even it it turns out to be true, we are already more people than the world can sustain, to say otherwise is crazy: we're even causing the *climate of the entire world* to change because of it, and causing mass extinction of thousands of species. Most of the most pressing problems of the world can essentially be boiled down to: too many people using too many resources.

      "Hopeful" it might be, but totally misleading. Humanity needs another human mouth like it needs a hole in the head. Despite all the murder and mayhem, the population of Afghanistan has increased from less than 4 million 40 years ago to more than 40 million today. The result is vast numbers of them bursting out of the country, many of them with the idea of squatting on us in Britain. Britain is already grossly over-populated yet we are faced with an invasion of illegal Mohammedan criminals, over 40,000 have come across the Channel so far this year (November 2022), it may top 50,000 by the end of the year. We have an impotent government that growls and spits about it yet puts them up in 4 star hotels when they arrive instead of dumping them straight back into France where they have come from. If the French people are stupid enough to let them into France, that is their problem. At the moment Macron laughs at us with every one that makes it to Britain. The population of Nigeria in 1977 was 67 million. It is now about 215 million and increasing at the rate of 4 million per year. Far too many of them see Europe as their answer. There are attempt at a mass invasions armed with ladders sticks and rocks into Melilla, the Spanish enclave on the Moroccan coast. On 24th June 2021, there was yet another invasion attempt with sections of the border fence vandalised. Official figures suggest that 24 were killed by Moroccan border guards. 2 border guards were killed. The real death toll was probably in excess of 100. The Moroccans don't want them in Morocco either.
      The answer is birth-rate reduction measures in the breeding hives across the World and sanctions against governments inspired by Mussolini and Hitler running breeding programmes to provide soldiers for their armies.
      In the last 60 years giraffes have been wiped out in 6 and possibly 7 countries of Africa. Why ? Because increasing human populations in those countries have killed them for meat. The idiots on this video have cited Bangladesh and Iran as countries where birth rate has dropped. In the case of Bangladesh this is true but births are still above 2 children per woman and with the average age of death so low in Bangladesh, they will be hoping that people will stop dying so early. This is why China has run a one child policy (actually about a 1.3 child policy) for the last 50 years.. If births drop to replacement level (2 children per woman) the population will continue to grow as people stop dying. Wise heads in China realised that a 2 child policy would work provided you are prepared to accept mass starvation. They did not find the prospect of mass starvation to be acceptable, hence the 1.3 child policy. Despite the 1.3 child policy, the human population of China has continued to grow a little bit every year. In the last few years, that growth is coming to an end. As the policy began to bite, they have made a number of small relaxations. In 2015 they made another relaxation announcing that where a couple were themselves single children, they could have 3 children. Very few have taken advantage of this offer, many Chinese women having become self-regarding and wish to maintain the swimming pool tummy. The relaxation is possible because Chinese people, living into their 80s, 90s and many living over 100, have now begun to conk out. Unfortunately, many Chinese men are addicted to tobacco but the average age of death for Chinese women is dramatically better than in the USA, so many American women getting fatter and fatter until, as great big blobs, they burst leaving piles of stinking, putrefying fat on the pavement. The assertion concerning Iran is complete rubbish. Large numbers of children are the norm.
      We can reduce the birth rate taking enforcement action against individuals and regimes that refuse to comply OR we can have a Worldwide deadly epidemic or a nuclear war. I prefer the birth rate reduction answer myself. How about you ?

      You're talking about an issue nearly no one talks about? the decrease of population growth. Luckily the predictions can't come true at all, we can still surprise the UN and science if we encourage others having more children. So lets start on another problem solving campaign!
      Step 1: analyze the causes of decreasing population growth

      The planet in general needs to have way fewer people in order to sustain us into the future, so let's not get carried away here and start having babies left and right. People have a way of moving themselves around, and Europe will have no trouble attracting people to fill the population gap. Maintaining a focus on education so that skilled workers can move to where the jobs are should be the priority.

      Statistics prove stereotypes only if you don't know how statistics actually work.

    It would be pretty cool to see a video on the science of biological needs for physical space per person with relation to mental health and our evolutionary requirements on mental health, green spaces etc. Alongside this an explanation as to how much physical space planet earth has effectively on land. than how much space the biggest animals need or the most demanding animals for space and how much space we need. For humans, both advanced countries or efficiant and poor contries or unefficiant vice versa with production.
    A not so efficiant society typically taking up lots of animal space and clearing land (forests, rivers etc) for production, later after acknowledging when production is caught up, restoration of the land is required and the economy can fund and support parts that were deemed exsessive clearing.
    Explain how a society working through the stages of a revolution today with production requires expansion but how much land it takes roughly for each human living within that land. ABSOLUTELY fascinating

      I dislike when people view Africa as one entity. For instance, where I am, in South Africa, we have a reasonable 2.34 births per woman, whereas countries like Uganda and the DRC have fertility rates of over 5 per woman. That's frightening. A few South American countries are also above replacement level. Countries tend to have high birth rates when death rates are high, and education levels are low. It's a pity many African countries are being governed so poorly. I see a resource disaster on the horizon.

    Undeveloped countries have more poverty. Less money correlates with a lower education. Which further extends to a higher birth rate. They need the help of developed countries.
    However, developed countries waste alot. For example, America wastes 40% of their food. Developed countries outsource their jobs, those jobs that make it possible to live and/or to be a developed country such as farming or mass industry. The major reason is because it's *cheaper*. Thus, we start back at where I began.
    We have the technology and the means to change the world; however, human society needs to fundamentally change before we can reach a sustainable world.

    • @TheOsamaBahama
      @TheOsamaBahama 8 лет назад +15

      Developed countries won't go back to being developing countries because they outsource their jobs. Part of the process to become a developed country is to become a service economy. The developing process is:
      farms and mines -> factories -> service economy.
      Take China for example. China is on stage 2 right now (factories). China imports rough material from countries on stage 1 (like countries on Latin America and Africa) and exports their products to countries on stage 3 (like America and Europe). China is trying to become a service economy, which is why companies are starting to move their factories to other poorer countries like Vietnam, Indonesia and Malaysia.
      Manufacturing jobs have been lost in the West since the 60's. Nevertheless, countries in the West have become even more developed and wealthy since then. That's because they became service economies. This is why education is so important, because you need educated workers to work on service jobs.
      I study economics by the way.

    • @S0nder
      @S0nder 8 лет назад +2

      Rick Apocalypse It would be very unlikely for a developed country to undevelop itself.
      What would happen if all countries reach stage 3? Do you think stage 1 countries need to climb up the economic ladder towards wealth by becoming a service economy?
      I'm just saying in my above comment that devloped countries have mutual benefits with developing countries; however, this bond limits their growth if they don't change.

      There are no free lunches, surly you don't suggest that. And developing countries are the ones that benefit the most from interactions with developed countries. That's why most developing countries have annual growths of ~10% while most developed countries only grow at about ~1%. And well developed countries can do things like farming and factory production, but it usually isn't worth it, because service jobs are more productive. Why have 3 factory workers and 7 farmers, when 1 farmer, 1 factory worker an 8 engineers and produce so much more. There are exceptions, of course, like Venezuela, which is miserable due to bad governance, or Sweden which is wildly successful because of high innovation and great infrastructure.

    • @TheOsamaBahama
      @TheOsamaBahama 8 лет назад +3

      Well, when 10% of people inside your country become educated and get better paying jobs, this also benefits the other 90%. Because the supply of uneducated workers gets smaller and this values their labor. The same thing happens with countries. When one country moves up the ladder, the other countries below it benefit.
      So if all countries but India, for example, become service economies, India could potentially become a developed country just by selling rough material (farms and mines) to the other countries, because everyone else would be forced to buy from them.
      When you hit stage 3, there is only one thing left to grow your productivity: technology. But as technology advances and robots keep replacing humans in factories (and in some service jobs), factories will increasingly become a thing of the past. And more more countries will be forced to try to move to stage 3. Will may very well see in 50 years the same percentage of people who work in farms today also be the same percentage who work in factories.
      But even if this doesn't grow the economy of countries in stage 3, it would still benefit them with lower prices. People are taking for granted the low prices they have today on imported manufactured goods from poor countries and backpedaling on globalization. They will see the consequences of protectionism once they start seeing the increase in prices.

      @Llanowar_Kitten 8 лет назад +33

      Depends on how it's accomplished. The american lifestyle of the 1980's would be unsustainable for a global population of 12 billion, but trends in developing countries seem to indicate that this won't be the case. The biggest hurdles are energy and land. Solar goes a long way to fix the energy problem and intelligent framing and/or hydroponics goes a long way to fix the land problem. If both are implemented early in the developing world (so far energy solutions are, not so much for land because technology is just barley catching up and culture is lagging well behind) and the developed world is convinced to follow along, you could sustain pretty enormous populations.

    Great video, however, it misses one very important point.
    Unlike before, the current situation is that the richer countries that have arrived first are not helping the ones still transitioning. Contrary, they are exploiting them to live better, faster, while the poorer countries will most likely never catch up, as it does not benefit the tycoons and big businesses in the west.
    What we get cheap in the west, is because someone has not been adequately paid in the east!

      You really think the afghans will make less children? Or most of the other countries? Russia's Putin said in the new years eve speech 2 years ago, that the Russians must become *more*. In these systems on earth, children are soldiers, social security, status symbol and feel good pills for both, parents and government. Why would you think people would stop making more and more children? Because they get wealthy and generally secure enough to do so??... Not in authoritarian, capitalistic and religious societies, where the masses wage war against each other and not the tiniest crumb of bread is being given for free, all because of mistrust and fear for each other.
      This video is nothing but a lie. Living conditions have worsened already so much through so many people being on earth, that this feature is causing diseases enough for people never being able to give up their ability to make their own inner circle of trust, their family. People can't behave naturally, because every place is overcrowded and around every corner is someone who can start watching you.
      The shit is going to hit the fan soon. I'd say in 20 years. And it only will get worse from there, because nations will not be able to cooperate, as people in countries aren't. This video is bs.
