  1. Agree nuclear power is an important part the future IMO, but it takes time. Modern nuclear power plants are planned for construction in five years or less. Also UN predict we go from around 8 billion people to 11 billion the next 80 years. We should focus on bringing down birthrate by education and family planning too.

  3. And overpopulation doesn't help either, with 80 million new people a year the struggle only get harder sadly 😢

  4.  @filip8985  thank you for your sharing 🙏. Yes I know it's a huge change we need to make on many levels to make it work. Regarding population size I see many problems stem from that in the first place. Some researchers say the Syrian civil war was triggered by drought and a big population. In 1950 there were 3 million Syrians, now (2021) 25 millions are scattered all over the place. 1 million Syrian refugees in Lebanon, a country that has almost collapsed, 3.5 million in Turkey creating a number of problems. Image Syrian population was only growing like Denmark the last 70 years, from 4.5 million to 5.5 millions, where 500.000 are immigrants. Take Madagascar despite a wealth of abundant and diverse natural resources, Madagascar is one of the world's poorest countries. They went from 4.5 million people in 1955 to around 30 million today. There are great hunger there at the moment, much pain and suffering. I would say that Island can't sustain 30 million people in a balanced way. Jordan , one the most dry places in the world , has very little water, went from 600.000 to 10 million people, they struggle every day. The future looks very bleak. Nigeria will never get out of deep deep poverty because population growth run amok. It's very sad. They are 206 million people going to be 260 million people the next 8 years. Can't you see what implications it has on the country and it neighbors, conflicts and pain. Many of them live of $ 3 a day, no government can help them out of poverty. It's super positive that Japan will go from 125 million people to 80 million the next 80 years, same with China 1,4 billion to around 1 billion. But we will still hit 11 billion people the next 80 years. 100 of more millions that want a polluting car , a mobile phone, a house etc. Wild capitalism and the idea of constant growth in a limited world of resources is extremely destructive, we are heading for some sort of collapse. Look into what makes a healthy sustainable eco system any place, it's balance between the parts and numbers. Our problem is that we are the top of the food chain on this planet, no one holding us accountable and we don't respect nature and its systems. We need to be adaptive and creative with whatever challenge we meet, we know what is coming. The UN Climate repports the last 30 years are very accurate.

  5.  @madeachanneljustcauseican3968  I totally agree with everything you wrote, but I don't see our leaders take these necessary actions in time. That's why I say the number of people in the world is the problem, because if there is no good system functioning for what you mention we are going to fulfill what the 1000 UN reports predict. Its a dark future with lots of pain and suffering. Take the global footprint that measures human demand on nature. To illustrate, we extract 88 billion tons of natural resources from Earth every year (In 2017). This is a lot. Over 11 tons of natural resources for every single person on Earth. I of cause hope that we turn the ship before its too late and I myself live very minimalistic and conscious of my choices. I don't have a car, live in a small place, don't fly etc. It's a massive change we need to make. I hope for the best 😊🙏🌏🌻
