We have enough resources to go around, anon.

It's not going to be that way for long, though. The agricultural practices needed to consistently produce enough food to feed the world are not sustainable. Look into pollinator decline. We've driven most native bees to the brink of extinction and domestic honeybees are in serious trouble due to a combination of shitty agricultural practices big, greedy special interest groups like Monsanto are actively working to ensure won't be changed. What do you think is going to happen when 2/3 of the world's agricultural output disappears because the pollinators are gone? It won't be a problem of distribution then, it will be billions of people dying of starvation because there literally is not enough food.

Well, then, there's your solution to the overpopulation problem.

For a less flippant/more serious answer: Then we need to work on a solution for that, instead of sterilizing people/banning them from having kids, which (as a ton of other comments have mentioned) doesn't really work. Either way, the problem still isn't people having kids.

(Anonymous) 2011-11-12 10:24 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah, there's the solution. Too bad about all the other species that are going to wiped out in the mass extinction.

The world's going to end someday, no matter what the hell we do. We can try to do what we can, sure, and I think people should. Maybe it'll change something. Maybe not.

Arguing about it on LJ is definitely not going to change anything, though.

it's informative.

i bet a bunch of people here didn't know about pollinator decline.

i didn't.

(Anonymous) 2011-11-13 01:06 am (UTC)(link)
I'd heard about it, but not in so much detail. I'm glad I was able to find out more.

(Anonymous) 2011-11-13 12:18 pm (UTC)(link)
It's informative, but how many people really look around in f!s for information about agricultural problems?

[identity profile] pandora049.livejournal.com 2011-11-14 04:07 am (UTC)(link)
I don't come in here looking for it, but I appreciate it when I find it.

(Anonymous) 2011-11-15 04:49 pm (UTC)(link)
That's just it. They don't. Which means that having such information available anyhow may make people think about issues they otherwise wouldn't have.

Also, apparently cell phone signals mess them up somehow, too. Last I heard anyway.
