“Population bomb” could be less damaging then predicted, new study suggest

A recent study estimates the global population will hit a peak of 8.8 billion around the middle of this century, before rapidly declining soon after. Prior studies predicted the “population bomb” to go off later with a higher worldwide population, coupled with more catastrophic results. Despite the optimistic outcome of this study, it is only feasible if global societal changes are made soon.

Professor Dowell Myers of the Price School of Public Policy agrees with much of the study except for one part:

MYERS: “The bomb did go off. It’s not that it’s not going to go off. It did go off.”

He, however, believes this is a good thing.

MYERS: “I think it’s a positive trend finding that the that the population trajectory is starting to level off. Is is good news, even though it does give us extra social problems.”

The study conducted by the intellectual non-profit, Club of Rome, found raising average education and income levels globally have the potential to keep the population bomb’s fallout at a minimum.

Higher education levels of a society, especially of women, are often correlated with lower birth rates due to more employed women in the workforce. However, this can prove to be an issue with aging societies such as those of China and Japan and can lead to shortages of able-bodied people to repopulate society.

MYERS: “The economy can survive with fewer workers now because of automation. So that the population growth is slowing, that won’t hurt the economy as much. The thing is, in a capitalist system, it all works on consumption and the economy is driven by people at the base of the pyramid consuming a lot of goods and they consume. That goes into profits. And businesses and businesses then hire more workers. But it all works off of consumption. If you don’t have as many people, you’ve got less consumption.”

Also:

MYERS: “The big thing is we have a generational mismatch. We have an older generation that expects to be supported and we don’t have as many younger people.”

Even though the issue seems to be working itself out, our planet’s health is still in jeopardy.

MYERS: “The climate change issue is still very much alive. It doesn’t change that in the prospects of that in the next three decades. That’s still with us.”

To insure a less than dramatic population drop in the following decades, all hands must be willing to be on deck.

MYERS: “The environmental problems are not contained within any country’s borders. That’s the problem with you can’t get agreement across borders and it’s a global atmosphere. We have to get everybody on board. We can’t have a, you know, Brazil chopping down the rainforest, for example. It’s inside their borders and it affects their economy. But the atmospheric changes, the climate changes are totally interconnected around the globe. That’s the challenge for us.”

    Speaking of costly check out the cost of just 1 climate change JACKED hurricane.

    Again with SMASHING the record book.

    Again, long predicted by climate models.

    Poor widdle climate change deniers don’t know what to do. Suffer & watch all you hold dear get smashed to bits is what you’ll do.

    Hurricane Ian hit Cat 5 in Gulf, was Florida’s most expensive storm. Official final numbers

    “Hurricane Ian is officially the most expensive storm in Florida’s history, with a price tag of $109 billion in damage.

    That’s the staggering loss from tens of thousands of homes and buildings in Southwest Florida damaged by Ian’s fierce winds and storm surge — and more than a thousand totally wiped away. Roads and bridges, including the Sanibel causeway, crumbled into the sea. As far away as Broward County across the state, a tornado spawned at the storm’s edge tipped over planes at a small airport, causing a couple million in damages.”

    “The National Hurricane Center’s report on Hurricane Ian, posted Monday, six months after the storm hit southwest Florida, pegs Ian as the most expensive to hit the Sunshine State, causing twice as much damage as Hurricane Andrew did 30 years earlier.”

    They will never recover & should walk away by choice…….for those who still have a choice. Alas, the stupid will be stupid as long as they draw breath.

    After Hurricane Ian, Fort Myers Beach struggles to become ‘a functional paradise’

    “Few communities in the U.S. have seen the level of destruction Hurricane Ian brought to Fort Myers Beach. The town’s vice mayor, Jim Atterholt, compares it to the destruction some European cities saw in World War II. Six months after the storm, he and other officials are working in tents and trailers. The town hall was destroyed.

    The oldest church on the island, Chapel by the Sea, also now is just ruins. “You can see how the front of the sanctuary was just devastated.”

    Go ahead and try to rebuild. It’s like telling the kids to play in traffic the day after 5 kids were killed & 3 crippled in the same spot. Run along now kids, make sure you are in the center of the freeway before rush hour starts. It’ll be different this time because heavy high speed traffic is a hoax perpetrated by China to steal all our high paying manufacturing jobs-N-stuff.

    Another Casualty of Climate Change: Dissolved Oxygen

    “Changing oxygenation of the oceans will favor some species that can tolerate lower oxygen conditions,” she says. “Whether they are the species humans currently depend upon remains to be seen, but it’s likely that key ecologically, economically, or culturally important species won’t thrive in lower oxygen conditions.”

    Arctic scientists race against the clock as ‘ice memory’ melts away

    Arctic scientists are set to start drilling to save samples of ancient ice for analysis before the frozen layers melt away due to climate change, mission organisers said on Monday.

    Italian, French and Norwegian researchers have set up camp in Norway’s Svalbard archipelago in what they called a race against time to preserve crucial ice records for analysing past environmental conditions.

    They will extract ice in a series of tubes from as far as 125 metres (137 yards) below the surface, containing frozen geochemical traces dating back three centuries.

    The “Uighur Genocide” Myth

    Policies in Xinjiang are being hysterically condemned by the West’s leaders, but supported by the world’s Muslim countries, whose representatives have actually visited Xinjiang. What’s going on?

    The West’s ruling class couldn’t possibly be…lying to us, could they?

    https://patrieoulamort.medium.com/the-uighur-genocide-myth-8d2151349db7

    Remember Salman Rushdi got stabbed last August for dissing Allah in a novel from 1988 for which Khomeini put out a kill order/fatwa on him? That would be like the pope putting out a hit on a Christian for blasphemy.
    Remember Charlie Hebdo slaughter because they portrayed Muhammad in a cartoon? That’s what they do when you offend their prophet.

    Would you expect those same muzzies to remain silent if they believed China was trying to genocide a million of their muzzi brothers?

    I don’t. It’s not like they have just 1 leader who calls all the shots. There’s more than a billion of them all over earth. They have an unofficial “cell” policy. They encourage Muslims to form their own terror groups and attack the west. If these same psychos believed what the west says China is doing to Muslims, would they ignore it? That’s what western MSM says they are doing.

    Who do you trust less? Your own Gov or Muzzis? One thing I’m certain of is when Muzzies say they are going to do some shit, they do some shit.
