10 billion people

Let’s not worry about how we’re going to feed 10 billion people.

Let’s just not have 10 billion people.

 

small families

 Interesting article about how an emphasis on family planning (and smaller families in particular)  has been erase from the development literature. We need to bring it back-- tout de suite!

IPCC Summary for Policymakers Deletes Reference to Population

The new IPCC report on climate change mitigation regards population growth as one of the two main drivers of increasing greenhouse emissions (along with economic growth). This is stated both in the 2700-page main report and in the 142-page Technical Summary. Curiously, though, it's not mentioned in the 62-page Summary for Policymakers, which is the only thing 99% of laypeople like you and me ever read. 

Why not? Because although the main report and the Technical Summary are written by actual climate scientists, politicians had a hand in fashioning the Summary for Policymakers. That's where the word InterGOVERNMENTal comes in. Get it? Politicians simply can't be seen 'blaming the poor' (and probably the African poor in particular) for even a smidgeon of the problem.

prince harry: two child max

One of the few things Harry and Meghan have got right! Prince Harry must be channeling me. When asked by primatologist Jane Goodall for British Vogue how many children he and Meghan planned to have, he replied, 'Two, maximum,' for the sake of the planet.

A prince after my own heart. Of course, I can't claim to have influenced him on this, but it stands to reason that he must be a regular visitor to this blog to have come to this conclusion, right? I'm humbled.

your dreams will never be achieved

On a planet with almost eight billion human beings on it, chances are your dreams will never be achieved-- particularly if you consider yourself honest and well meaning. In a world where we have too many people chasing too few resources, it's the people with the sharpest elbows, the ones who skip to the front of the line, who will come out on top.
