If only it was possible to come up with a way to change human nature yet allow mankind to still be human. I so fear it will take another leap in evolution that no person can yet foresee. It would seem to me that the world could support many more people than now exist, but the means, that’s the rub. Never forget, the means in oh so many cases do not justify the ends: Please!

Ahoy, shipmates!

Saw a piece of news reporting, that by the end of October, we shall be seven milliard people on this planet. ...


Indeed frightening!

David Attenborough to be patron of Optimum Population Trust

Sir David Attenborough said yesterday that the growth in global population was frightening, as he became a patron of an organisation that campaigns to limit the number of people in the world.

The television presenter and naturalist said that the increase in population was having devastating effects on ecology, pollution and food production.

“There are three times as many people in the world as when I started making television programmes only a mere 56 years ago,” he said, ...

“It is frightening. We can’t go on as we have been. We are seeing the consequences



This is our only planet... Will greed, ignorance, and procrastination sink us all?...

Regards,
Martin
