I read somewhere - I think it might have been in the New Scientist magazine - that some 90% of all land animals today are entirely dependent upon human beings, either as pets or on farms. This is a staggering statistic and if accurate demonstrates the extent to which we as a species have warped and perverted the natural evolution of other species and bent them to our own needs and wants. The rest of life on this planet is increasingly being forced into niches that serve us, or is otherwise dying out. I think that is a perfectly expected and acceptable situation, as we are at the top of the food chain and have dominion over all of them. |

Up to 70 billion killed every year worldwide. 8 billion in the US alone. |

Europeans racing( despite the economical consequences)for net zero while others use fossil fuels with impunity. White people reproducing less while Africans and Asians breed like rabbits . More like the great white human extinction. So a thread about the extinction of animals suddenly becomes one about too many black people and not enough white ones, as if skin colour matters. As it surely does only to a racist. Yes there are too many people on this planet, but their skin colour is wholly irrelevant. Only if you really want it to…and it seems that you do. Or did you just want to indulge in a little virtue signalling ? |

We're going to need to be quick about it then. According to the UN the population of Pakistan is projected to grow from 221 million in 2020 to 338 million in 2050, finally peaking at 404 million in the 2090s. But even that's pretty shabby compared to Nigeria, projected to grow from 206 to 402 million by 2050, and then to 733 million of the end of the century.
Makes our "Net Zero" agenda even more pointless then.

Indeed it does …and when parts Africa and Asia turn to dust many of them might hire a dinghy to come visit for a while . |

On the one hand, the seas may have dried up due to AGW - so they'll be able to walk across.
OTOH, AGW may have melted the polar ice caps, so the UK will be under water anyway.
Either way, it's a self-solving problem.
Unless you happen to believe that it's all bollocks, of course.

Ah but the eco worriers and virtue signallers will be standing on the moral highground ready to welcome our new guests. |

Although the UN projects that the population of Africa will increase by 1.1 billion by 2050 it doesn't state how they are going to be fed.
I guess that's where we come in.

AGW is not the only human-induced threat to global biodiversity. Attenborough shows the last two Northern White Rhinos, a mother and daughter owned by a Czech zoo but in 'protective custody' in Kenya. Fifty years ago there was a wild population of 2 to 3,000 but it has systematically reduced to zero by poaching. Rhino horn is a much prized aphrodisiac in China fetching thousands of dollars an ounce, with an average size horn going for a quarter million or more.

I guess that's where we come in. ive read suggestions that the global human population will reach 12 billion in the next century , and then massively decline . Wether thats through war , famine pestilence or other reasons , not sure , but it does seem that all governments supporting this ponzi type scheme of needing a bigger working popualtion to pay for the previous retired population is going to run out of road at some point in the near future.
As ever though , the can gets kicked down the road for future generations to worry about , while simultaneously governments tell us we need to wory about future generations in terms of the climate.

You made a good point about europe and net zero , and you spoiled it as steve said when you had to bring race into your post. |

White people could be extinct in the near future . To point it out is not racist . To object to it being pointed out is racist. |

To object to it being pointed out is racist. you are being ridiculous . could you give me proof , or a link where you read white people are going to be extinct in the near future please? I can’t give definitive proof of a future event . If you read the posts very carefully then you might glean that they are an opinion . If white peoples breed less and other races breed more then white people will become a smaller and smaller minority. Add to that a possible explosion of African and Asian migrants escaping the environmental catastrophe promised by the eco worriers then white people could disappear. I think it’s a reasonable point. It seems to have triggered you and MrAngry though . Lets just move on. I will address any points made against it though . |
