John Lennon on the myth of over-population

The ecosystem will adapt to us, and we will adapt to the ecosystem, as life always has even in the most catastrophic events.
You missed significant portions of those classes didn't you. It adapted, after massive die-offs, extinctions and a few hundred thousand years. The real point is the earth will be fine, we are the ones we're going to screw. I'd rather avoid extinction or resource wars myself, as such a sensible approach in educating people that humans aren't intended to give birth in litters is a good start.

And society is what's happily tromping on what we refer to as an ecosystem. That doesn't really balance, human history is a collection of tales about humans continuing to find better ways to circumvent natural processes and anything which may contribute to this 'balance'. Even the standard of living you enjoy is far beyond anything natural, there are no balancing forces other than HR departments and taxes.
I assume your "solution" to this supposed "problem" is having a group of powerful men & women in government dictating and manipulating people's reproductive habits? Think about what it would feel like to be dictating and manipulating billions of people reproductive habits, requiring sterilizations, forced birth control injections/pills/implants, forced abortions, and baby confiscations. If you want to talk about human rights and mass suffering, put people like that in power. It astounds me how dangerously ignorant you depopulation morons are.

Nice assumptions, you missed my bit about education which was the only bit I put forward as a solution. I do like to believe that if someone is actually educated they will make decent decisions. And given the number of humans who have decided fertility drugs are such a wonder that they can now get that full family of 7 in one pass, well, we need to educate these people about the issues that are involved. Not even to mention the impact on resource consumption.
