    Hmm, I don't know that, but I know our population continues to grow at a scary rate. Already, ~17% of the world's population is living in < 3% of the land area. The monsoon has been a complete failure this year and food security is pretty bad. Not to mention last year's inflation - a kilo of rice cost me Rs. 20 last May. Last August, it was Rs. 28 and now it's Rs. 36. :omg: For the last time, there is no D in privilege. Get your bloody spelling right before you get outraged over the Americans correcting you.

      So both the BBC and Sky news channels come out with exactly the same story, and, bizarely, run it at exactly the same time. The story is about food sustainability and how we all "take our food for granted" and that in the future we will all have to cut back. Heres the BBC link: http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/programmes/andrew_marr_show/8192100.stm[^] and Sky link: http://news.sky.com/skynews/Home/Politics/Food-Assessment-Hilary-Benn-Warning-As-Says-We-Need-To-Grown-Our-Own-Food/Article/200908215357408?f=rss[^] (Ammusingly, the govt is considering banning 'buy one get one free' offers in order to reduce waste. Dear oh fucking christ. This really is where socialism tends towards utter loonacy) Apart froom this being yet another blanket blast from the enviros hitting all the media channels with exactly the same story, showing how uncritical the media is, especiallty when it comes to environmental scare stories, but also how environmantalists stive to continuously maintain the fear level in the public mind. Heres a few snippets of idiocy form the said envirnmental minister. Clearly someone of limited mental stature: "Last year the world had a wake-up call with the sudden oil and food price rises," he said. Yes, the prices went up because of speculation over the use of food as fuel. A speculation driven by environmentalists constant request for sustainable fuel. Keep burining coal annd oil and there's no wake up call. "While we know the price of our food, the full environmental costs and the costs to our health are significant and hidden." How does he know they are significant if they are hidden? "We need a radical re-think of how we produce and consume our food." Yes, we deffinitely need to consume our food more in the form of a curry! Clearly more verbal idiocy. "Globally we need to cut emissions and adapt to the changing climate that will alter what we can grow and where we can grow it." Bingo! This expains everything.

      One would have to be incredibly stupid to not wonder at some point how we as a species are hoping to feed an ever growing number of people, as well as housing them, using a finite amount of farmland. And, of course, the stupidity of corn based biofuel is also hurting the ability of farmers to provide adequate food. Fact is, if we throw half our food out ( as I read here in NZ this week ), it's GOOD news in the short term, instead of farming more land, we can focus on lowering waste, for example, by feeding it to pigs to make more food out of it.

        You're not starting this ignorant crap again, are you ? Leave discussion on population to people who have at least some chance of breeding, OK ?

          Funny how no-one is running with the real problem of food security, namely TOO MANY PEOPLE! Britainwould be almost completely self sufficient if it could lose 10 Million Mouths. Easily done, Get rid of the Welfare state. Stop Immigration. Hand out condoms to the denizens of Sink Estates. This would be good for Britain and good for the world. We need a world wide reduction in population of about 2 Billion. That would make water and food sustainable, and eke out the reducing resources for a lot longer. Water will be the next War. India is in trouble, Egypt says any attempt to dam either Lake Victoria or The Nile would be an act of War and Mexico is complaining about plans the US have for taking more water from the Rio Grand.

            Lots of people have. One being John P Holdren (Obama's science and tech adviser). He co-authored a book called Ecoscience: saying that we need to add sterilizers to the the water and staple foods, enforce mandatory abortions of people who have more than one child, and raise all children in government dormitories because families aren't effective at raising children anymore. He said we need to start spraying the atmosphere with metals and chemicals to cool the earth. He is insane. It is a well known fact that the globalists in power want to reduce the world's population by a significant number, however, anyone who believes that is a good idea doesn't comprehend the hellish life we all face if we allow a bunch of psychopaths to cull humans. I don't think we have too many people, but if we ever reach a point were we can't sustain ourselves, well I will be growing my own food while I watch all the city yuppies run around in circles. It isn't that hard to grow your own food and pull water from a well.

            Your proven literacy problems mean I'll read the book before I assume this is true. But, if it is, it does not mean that every person who talks about population control, believes all of these things.

                          That is not what communism is about. Communism is the abolishment of personal property, individual rights, and individual sovereignty, for the enslavement of the population by the powerful central planners who dominate and molest the people until the society collapses under the unnatural pressure of illogical ideologies. In simpler terms, it is hell on earth.

                                I wouldn't be surprised if there was. This time nuclear. I won't be fighting in it, but my kids probably will be. When people talk about passing on debt to future generations maybe they should start thinking about more than just passing on monetary debt. Wars are decades in the making.

                                  So both the BBC and Sky news channels come out with exactly the same story, and, bizarely, run it at exactly the same time. The story is about food sustainability and how we all "take our food for granted" and that in the future we will all have to cut back. Heres the BBC link: http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/programmes/andrew_marr_show/8192100.stm[^] and Sky link: http://news.sky.com/skynews/Home/Politics/Food-Assessment-Hilary-Benn-Warning-As-Says-We-Need-To-Grown-Our-Own-Food/Article/200908215357408?f=rss[^] (Ammusingly, the govt is considering banning 'buy one get one free' offers in order to reduce waste. Dear oh fucking christ. This really is where socialism tends towards utter loonacy) Apart froom this being yet another blanket blast from the enviros hitting all the media channels with exactly the same story, showing how uncritical the media is, especiallty when it comes to environmental scare stories, but also how environmantalists stive to continuously maintain the fear level in the public mind. Heres a few snippets of idiocy form the said envirnmental minister. Clearly someone of limited mental stature: "Last year the world had a wake-up call with the sudden oil and food price rises," he said. Yes, the prices went up because of speculation over the use of food as fuel. A speculation driven by environmentalists constant request for sustainable fuel. Keep burining coal annd oil and there's no wake up call. "While we know the price of our food, the full environmental costs and the costs to our health are significant and hidden." How does he know they are significant if they are hidden? "We need a radical re-think of how we produce and consume our food." Yes, we deffinitely need to consume our food more in the form of a curry! Clearly more verbal idiocy. "Globally we need to cut emissions and adapt to the changing climate that will alter what we can grow and where we can grow it." Bingo! This expains everything.

                                      Funny how no-one is running with the real problem of food security, namely TOO MANY PEOPLE! Britainwould be almost completely self sufficient if it could lose 10 Million Mouths. Easily done, Get rid of the Welfare state. Stop Immigration. Hand out condoms to the denizens of Sink Estates. This would be good for Britain and good for the world. We need a world wide reduction in population of about 2 Billion. That would make water and food sustainable, and eke out the reducing resources for a lot longer. Water will be the next War. India is in trouble, Egypt says any attempt to dam either Lake Victoria or The Nile would be an act of War and Mexico is complaining about plans the US have for taking more water from the Rio Grand.

                                      Oh come on! Dont play the old 'the worlds overpopulated and going to shit' scare tactic! Thats been tried and found basless many times before. Fact is with land set aside, vast food mountains, and industrial production we can easially feed ourselves in Europe. Add the less that 2 kids per couple breeing rate and hence a falling population then even more so in the future! As for imigration, bul. You are an imigrant. If not of Norman, then of Saxon, and if not of Saxon of Celtic stock. And they came from near India originally.
