  1. What part of the discussion though? The world consumed 3000 calories per person last year while people starve and record amounts of obesity, so we don't have a supply issue we have a distribution one. The lawn is the world's largest irrigated crop, that we maintain to look nice, 20% of our energy is electricity, add 5% for the people who grow our food, another 5% for food transport and emergency/medical, round up another 10% and we could lower emissions 60% overnight is we just stayed home. We could rotate workers through only jobs that are needed, ignore all current debt, supply the world an equal share of food, shelter, medical care, and raise general wellbeing while solving global warming.....all it would take is belief and choice, but over population when we are barely doing anything right isn't the issue imo. * To be fair you're going to see it anyway, you're living it now, between 1959 and 1999 the world had 100% growth, between 99 and 2039 it's supposed to be 50% and after that even less. 23 countries are going to see 50% loss of population due to old age, China is going to lose 600 millionish, Japan another 50 million. In a world of growth based economy, 50% less customers mean something, 20% even more, when it goes backwards,,,we have never experience what is coming in our lives.
