“Whether we accept it or not, this will likely be the century that determines what the optimal human population is for our planet. It will come about in one of two ways:  Either we decide to manage our own numbers, to avoid a collision of every line on civilization's graph - or nature will do it for us, in the form of famines, thirst, climate chaos, crashing ecosystems, opportunistic disease, and wars over dwindling resources that finally cut us down to size.”   Alan Weisman, Countdown: Our Last Best Hope for a Future on Earth?

Great Britain houses 62 million people in a landmass less than the size of America’s State of Oregon.  That state supports 3.9 million people, but feels too crowded to most Oregonians.

 

In the early decades of the 21st century, the human mob displaces animals, habitat, environment and contaminates the biosphere at blinding speed.

 

While the third world reels from overpopulation, the United Kingdom expects to add yet another 11 million people to its already crowded corridors.  Brits continue endless immigration in light of this fact of their limited landmass:

 

"Unlimited population growth cannot be sustained; you cannot sustain growth in the rates of consumption of resources. No species can overrun the carrying capacity of a finite land mass. This Law cannot be repealed and is not negotiable.” Dr. Albert Bartlett:

www.albartlett.org , University of Colorado, USA.

 

While the United States, Canada and Europe continue flooding themselves with endless millions of overpopulation-refugees from around the world, few even dare whisper Great Britain’s predicament at Number 10 Downing Street or in the Parliament.  They need to speak up because of this recent video on NBC News with Brian Williams on Monday, March 31, 2014.  It will sober you as to your children’s nightmare future with global climate change. (That’s for starters)  How do I know?  When I worked and lived in Antarctica in 1997-98, I reported on the top scientists of that time creating climate change models on computers from their growing data.    Because it seemed so imperceptible, no world leaders and the general populace around the planet ignored it.

Try to ignore this video:

 

“No one is immune: study offers bleak climate change outlook” by Ann Thompson, NBC correspondent

 

 

If this video doesn’t scare the nickers off your legs, I don’t know what will frighten you into a realistic understanding of humanity’s predicament.

 

Every world leader and all world citizens should be screaming in the streets for population stabilization and alternative energy resources—even if that means going back to sailing ships, bicycle travel, walking, solar and wind power.  We can’t keep burning coal and oil if we expect to survive the 21st century. Period!

 

Fellow earthlings, we cannot keep going down our current road of adding 1 billion of ourselves every 12 years on our way from 7.2 billion to 10.1 billion within 36 years by 2050. 

 

We tinker with the mechanisms that keep the planet balanced and able to sustain all life.  We disrupt water systems with dams, we contaminate oceans with Fukushima radioactive liquids, we poison our soils, we poison the air, we kill endless creatures out of existence and the list grows.

 

How do any you, (us) think we’re going to fool Mother Nature and the Natural World and get away with it.

 

We will NOT escape it.  Dr. Jack Alpert, one of the most brilliant minds on the planet, offers you a simple understanding via his latest scientific research.  www.skil.org

 

 

 

To all my British friends and colleagues, you represent the best chance for any country to address human overpopulation by stopping mass immigration and encourage those overpopulated countries into engaging birth control and family planning. If you remain an exhaust valve for overpopulated countries, you solve nothing. You “enable” them to continue exploding the world population by a net gain of 80 million annually.

You need to raise your voices by writing, speaking, demonstrating, letters to the editor, calls to your television stations, yelling and screaming—to become the news instead of reading the news.

 

Otherwise, the great nations of the west will end up like this famous quote by a friend of mine, Dr. Otis Graham,

 

 

Followed by:

 

 If we don’t halt population growth with justice and compassion, it will be done for us by nature, brutally and without pity – and will leave a ravaged world.  ~Nobel Laureate Dr. Henry W. Kendall

Need I say more?  Now, it’s time for you to speak up.
