If you ever want to have the shite scared out of you about the effects of over-population, read Inferno by Dan Brown. Typical Brown thriller (like the Da Vinci Code), but really freaky twist. I highly recommend it.

There are two types of people. Productive and parasitic. The current migration into Europe is mostly the later.
Most of our legal immigration is productive but liberals mostly want those that will depend on them in exchange for votes.

Population growth curve...Population grows until it is unsustainable...a large number dies off...then it flattens at or around the carrying capacity.

Prediction is over 40,0000 new homes will be built in DFW in 2018 :)

Meanwhile, America and especially Europe are at a shrinking growth rate. I'm not even sure we are replacing ourselves. The problem is the third world, not us.

One of the definitions of poor and uneducated is having shittons of kids. Every society in history, except maybe china with the kid restrictions.

bullshite. Apply the Earth's population to the population density of NYC and you come up with all of the humans on earth living on a land area the size of Louisiana and Texas combined.
ETA:
The Calculations
World Population = 7.5 B people
52,271 Sq. Mi.(LA area)+268,597 Sq. Mi.(TX area) = 320, 868 Sq. Mi.
7.5B / 320,868 Sq. Mi. = 23,374.1 people per square mile
Population density of NYC = 27,000 people per square mile
Using the area of TX alone:
7.5B/268,597 = 27,922.87 people per sq. mi.

The reason you know that climate change is bullshite is because no one has proposed any meaningful limit on the number of children one can bring into this world due to "cc"
There's far more reasons to be skeptical than that. Even if we do make a difference in climate change, I don't think it's near enough to warrant spending billions of tax dollars on it.
