re: The plummeting birthrate is an impending catastrophe.

The world could use fewer people. The problem is the educated folk in the west aren’t having kids. And the third worlders won’t stop having kids. So the geniuses in charge in the West want to flood their own countries with the third world.

US birth rate has been below replacement level for more than 5 decades
and yet our population has increased by 65% since then (204M to 336M)

Just think, we're living in the time with the most people ever

how many more years can earth support the way humans are living now? we are blowing thru all of the resources available. I just dont see how we can support this modern style of living hundreds of years from now. so we either need way less people or find a way to get onto other planets or celestial objects to get more raw materials. people in the distant future may be going back to a more primitive lifestyle if we cant figure something out. Either that or we get hit by a asteroid or have some other sever weather event that causes wide scale death and destruction and sets the human race way back.

There are 8 billion people on this planet. That’s too many. The day this world can’t feed this many mouths is when the manure will really hit the fan. A couple of bad crop years globally and what a mess it will become. I remember when I was in 3rd grade the population of this country was around 221 million. Now you can’t even drive in most cities in a timely manner because there are too many people. From 1950 to 2010, the world population increased from 2.5 billion to 6.9 billion. That’s 174%. A dozen years later we have another billion. Not sure how population is in decline. The numbers reflect a significant increase in growth.

Is declining population bad?
No, it's actually the best thing for this world as it stands.

there are probably billions of people across the world struggling to eat right now. Then think about how much rice and beans gets thrown away at mexican restaurants across the US daily.

I don’t see anything wrong with this, the only impending catastrophe is the high birth rates in Africa. They are fricked

It's not a problem. When the United States peaked in the 1950s, we had about 180 million people.
The only entities who this may be a problem for are corporations who, god forbid, may have to compete for workers and actually offer them a living wage.
"Muh social security" I don't care. It is going to be insolvent by 2035 and I will never see a dime from it anyway. It is just a colossal ponzi scheme.
Funny how all of the environmentalists so concerned about sustainability either openly shill for mass immigration or continue to turn a blind eye to it.
Also, a declining population should help lower housing costs. Fewer people=less demand=lower prices.

I hope you don't get old.

A little alarmist, don't ya think?

I think a drastic population reduction (caused by less birthing) is great. Give us a few decades of lower birthrates and eventually the rates will kick back up. I see no problem for humanity over it. We aren't going to stop being fertile.

Too many people in the world as it is 
Posted on 4/14/23 at 11:02 am to Slippy
I would've guessed the Central and South American birth rates would be higher. Africa picking up the slack for the rest of the world.

They called it a pending catastrophe when they claimed we can’t sustain the growth and now it’s a catastrophe because they claim we cannot sustain lower birth rates?
It’s the fundraising flavor of the day.
We’ll be fine.

No they will not.
The current rate will continue to lower. There's no coming back.

Not when you have a nation of poor and not enough wealth to support them.
They'll come after you.
The worlds population will start shrinking in less than 50 years, with the poor destroying the wealthy.

But we are getting more robots and sentient cars and vacuum cleaners to fill the void.
