The morning commute - Japanese style
2008-05-15 12:02:00 Fancy playing Sardines every morning on your way to work? Move to Japan and you can. We all know that maximising use of public transport is the most energy-efficient type of travel, but this is taking it to the extreme.
Overpopulation = Poverty = Crime
2008-04-20 16:33:00 I sternly believe that overpopulation is the cause of poverty. In the Philippines, the country where I grew up in, the population of the poor people outnumbers the rich and the working class. Filipinos has this old belief that the more children they have, the more number of people will work to take them out for poverty. Well I say that this notion is outrageous! Children are not there to make your life better, it is actually the other way around. It is parents who should work hard to prepare and provide for the coming of their child so that they can support the child's needs and provide him/her with a bright future.But how could parents who can barely provide for themselves be able to support a child and send him/her to college? If they can't support one how on earth could they support a dozen children? And so the vicious cycle of poverty occurs and poverty is never solved.I do not feel pity for families who are very large in number and are suffering. Having a family is a vocation...

It is overpopulation, basically speaking
2008-04-11 11:59:00 A debate is flaring on whether or not we are really experiencing rice shortage in response to the continuing global food crisis today.

1973 sci-fi film about overpopulation and greenhouse effect
2008-03-01 00:33:00 Set in the year 2022, Soylent Green depicts a dystopian future in which the population has grown to forty million in New York City alone. The water and soil have been poisoned, and pollution has produced a year-round heatwave due to a greenhouse effect. Most housing is dilapidated and overcrowded, and food as it is known today is a rare and expensive commodity.

Overpopulation? What Overpopulation?
2008-02-08 22:00:00 Now I'm not necessarily pointing my finger at Utah (the fact that I'm pointing my finger in the direction of the Intermountain West is purely coincidental), but when silhouettes of individual family members fill up the entire length of your car, you should take that as a sign that you should stop having children.

What will happen to the world?s population when energy production declines?
2007-09-20 16:28:00 Energy is the ?enabling? resource. Most, if not all other natural and manmade resources and their capacities to sustain human life are derived from or dependent upon one or more sources of primary energy. The fact that the amount of energy available to human beings is subject to a limit, global peak energy, has profound implications for ...

Albert Einstein on Overpopulation
2007-05-22 23:26:00 A quote by Albert Einstein on overpopulation ..."I am convinced that some political and social activities and practices of the Catholic organizations are detrimental and even dangerous for the community as a whole, here and everywhere. I mention here only the fight against birth control at a time when overpopulation in various countries has become a serious threat to the health of people and a grave obstacle to any attempt to organize peace on this planet." [Albert Einstein -- letter, 1954]"I think that sums it up nicely.The main cause of overpopulation can be found by examining the Industrial Revolution.More information about the causes and repercussions of unstemmed overpopulation may be found in Guido Moosbrugger's book "And Yet ...

Is Overpopulation For Real?
2007-05-11 19:49:00 In one of my old entries from three blogs ago, I blasted the ultra-conservative opus dei sect for infiltrating our classes in the UP College of Medicine to assert that the Philippines is not overpopulated and that there is no need to control the number of people. I honestly felt that this was an ...

Overpopulation and emerging infectious disease epidemics and world-wide pan
2007-05-01 20:15:00 Another scourge of overpopulation ... the ever-increasing number of infectious diseases nature is visiting upon us due to our own ignorance and increasing overpopulation of the Earth; the crowding out of nature to make way for our burgeoning cities, industry and agriculture. Our Earth currently is overpopulated by more than 7.5 billion human beings, a number which is increasing every minute of every day - a vast drain on the planet's not-endless natural resources. Something has to give, and give it will, at a very dear cost to all life on this planet if people do not finally realize how absolutely crucial an issue overpopulation is. Scientists speculate that we have not yet discovered up to about 14,000 different faunal and floral species resident in the rainforests of the world. For emphasis that should read: "Essential to our continued existence" rainforests that are gobbled up at a rate of over 150 acres per minute, every day!! A completely criminal act against planet Earth an...
Overpopulation 'is main threat to planet'
2007-04-21 17:43:00 Overpopulation 'is main threat to planet' By Steve Connor, Science EditorPublished: 07 January 2006 Climate change and global pollution cannot be adequately tackled without addressing the neglected issue of the world's booming population, according to two leading scientists.Professor Chris Rapley, director of the British Antarctic Survey, and Professor John Guillebaud, vented their frustration yesterday at the fact that overpopulation had fallen off the agenda of the many organisations dedicated to saving the planet.The scientists said dealing with the burgeoning human population of the planet was vital if real progress was to be made on the other enormous problems facing the world."It is the elephant in the room that nobody wants to talk about" Professor Guillebaud said. "Unless we reduce the human population humanely through family planning, nature will do it for us through violence, epidemics or starvation."Professor Guillebaud said he decided to study the field of human repro...
The Crusade Against Overpopulation
2007-04-15 19:44:00 On Thursday, April 8, 2004, at 8:00 pm, there lived 7,101,500,011 human beings on Earth! See "Overpopulation". Since this date this number has now increased to around 7.5 billion, according to Plejaren calculation.Some comments on Overpopulation excerpted from the Questions to Billy section on the FIGU Forum??the most urgent solution to be taken still is the birthrate check, because if the terrestrial population growth cannot be stopped and then continually reduced, all the big problems of our time cannot be solved.???The more people are living on a planet, the less value is granted to one?s fellow-human being and the more indifference is around.???The human way to reduce the population should occur through the use of reason and self-responsibility and by measures that apply to all countries and all people as proposed by FIGU").The Crusade Against Overpopulation (excerpt from FIGU's "Manifesto"):?One of FIGU's great concerns is making Earth's inhabitants aware that the majority o... |
