If everyone stopped having kids what would be the point of saving the planet!?

Such a human attitude. There are other species on the planet you know, none of which have caused this mess. I HATE humans.

How many on this thread have children I wonder? Each one is worse for the environment yearly than the equivalent in doing all the basic recycling and conservation efforts.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
If no one had children what would be the point of recycling etc?
----------------------------------------------------------------------

To allow the world to recover. If most stopped banging out little cants for a few decades the world would improve no end. More carbon damage done on a single days school run by soccer mum's than I could manage in a year. Add to that the fact half the kids will become feckin useless as we have seen with society the last few years.

Really? Well fek that. I have none. Can I forget about recycling and conservation? Just asking.

They wouldn’t last long, all you’d be left with would hordes of giant plague ridden rats

Democracy is short-termism.

Climate change requires a long term solution.

Do the math.

Nope, like me you don't get to slack off, you have to cover for the selfish cants who bang out three of the worthless shats. Just you get to do it while having fun every day.

This sentence sums up my entire life.

And sorry Quebec, I see Canada is reopening the border today.

I wouldn't worry about population growth.

Something will probably soon happen to wipe out significant numbers.

Naivety back then lad, no excuse now though, we all know the damage done and the sad decline of the world around us.

Be interesting to see the anti immigration folk reaction to millions of people having to move to their countries because their homes have been decimated.
----------------------------------------------------------------------

This is already somewhat happening as a consequence of drought & the consequence shortages in food/water that predictably follow. It will of course keep getting worse.

Ah, if there's more sea and UK is more of an island then it will be harder for the wee inflatables to reach.

They need to get a grip on overpopulation for a start. Populations in Africa and Asia have surged in recent years. They reckon there will be 11bn people on the planet by 2100. Unsustainable.

The top 20 fastest accelerating populations are all in Africa and Asia, as are the countries doing the least to protect the environment.

Fastest growing populations:

Niger
São Tomé and Príncipe
Angola
DR Congo
Equatorial Guinea
Burundi
Zambia
Syrian Arab Republic
Chad
Burkina Faso
Mali
Tanzania
Somalia
The Gambia
Uganda
Mozambique
Gabon
South Sudan
Comoros
Guinea

We can all make changes is our daily lives and pressure governments as well, but what’s the point of it all if the species continue to breed like rabbits? Sh*gging ourselves into extinction.

----------------------------------------------------------------------

And yet it's the stable populations of Europe and North America that drive the bulk of carbon emissions. It's the consumption patterns of our lifestyle that is unsustainable. African population growth becomes a problem if it's followed by the emergence of a growing middle class that behaves like we do.

It's important to acknowledge this for two reasons. First, we need to adapt our behaviour to limit the temperature increases - and we can do so without living in poverty if we invest in low carbon technologies and transition to more sustainable, more localised supply chains and renewable power. Then when middle classes emerge in the global south, they can emulate us, rather than be asked to do what we refused to.

Secondly, there is an emerging eco-fascism ideology that wants to repeat the worst genocidal atrocities of the 20th century, only now based on the survival logic of 'there are too many of us' rather than racial theories.

----------------------------------------------------------------------

The bulk of carbon emissions are driven by:

China
USA
India
Russia
Japan
Germany
Iran
South Korea
Saudi Arabia
Indonesia

But that’s a separate point to the one I was making, which is that a population of 11bn is unsustainable. We can’t bury our head in the sand on overpopulation just because it’s not politic to do so.

Many of the issues that people have sighted on this thread are exacerbated by population density.

We will probably see a colonial style retaking of foreign lands with the best climates eventually many years from now when the first world nations have ruined their first go round.

Something will probably soon happen to wipe out significant numbers.

Yea, the oil companies botched the first attempt. I reckon COVID mk II will get the job done.

Cuckoos have it right. If another species could copy them and do to humans what Cuckoos do to other birds then we could be on the right path. A panda could come along and lay an egg in the human's stomach while it is sleeping and then the human would be pregnant and think it is having a human baby, then the baby is born and because the majority of people are stupid, they will think it is their own baby when it is born so will raise it as their own. This would help endangered species such as pandas and also reduce human populations and the amount of Liverpool fans on the planet.

Yeah but the border guards are working to rule. Been without a contract since 2018. Hopefully slow it down a bit. But Canadians not allowed into US.
You just know Qtards will be telling the guards that they can't ask about vax because HIPPA.

Per capita is a more reasonable measure to begin pointing fingers:

Select to order by per capita.

I guess building those stadiums for the World Cup has had a big effect.

Well we know where you cants are going to colonise to start the Water Wars. loading my .303 now.

Looking at that list it appears that the biggest per capita culprits are those already living in "difficult" climates that they either need to constantly heat or cool, and those living in huge land masses requiring things to be transported about a lot. Just a guess.
