The UN recently convened a conference to deal with the problems caused by a population implosion. The welfare states of Europe were built on the premise that populations would continued to increase. Like Social Security they assumed this would allow them to grant ample benefits because the number of taxpayers supporting the system would continue to grow. World food production is at another all time high. New biotechnologies offer the promise of abundant food, surpassing the plenty of the last few decades.
Resources continue to decline in price when adjusted for devalued currencies.
Life spans are continuing to increase and that alone puts into question the doomsday scenarios that the Green cultists advocate. The fact is that the world is becoming a better and better place and these aging advocates of the New Left can t stand it. After all if they are starting to fall apart then the world must be falling apart as well. The grand guru of the myth of overpopulation is Paul Ehrlich who borrowed the term overpopulation bomb from some of his more blatantly racist predecessors in the eugenics movement. Ehrlich has done the Green Shuffle, that little dance where they move from one position to another without appearing to move at all.
