I question the narrative of 8 billion people on this planet with the plummeting birth rates and the long standing Chinese one child policy...we need a deep dive into the (over) population myth.

Agree. Even at 8B, I don’t think the planet is “overpopulated”. It can and should support many more people.

I think that 8 billion number is inflated for depopulation purposes. I would bet the number is closer to 6.5 billion. There is no one on the planet that can reasonably prove when the earth reaches over-population, if ever.

Yes, I to have grown accustomed to eating regularily. As many in North America have. Without this fuel source , it would certainly slow that eating process down.

Agreed. It's a habit I'm reluctant to kick!
