Comments on: Scientists Worldwide to Speak Out on Population Problem http://www.populationmedia.org/2009/01/09/scientists-worldwide-to-speak-out-on-population-problem/ Acting for Change Thu, 09 Sep 2010 06:34:25 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0.1 By: R E Lack http://www.populationmedia.org/2009/01/09/scientists-worldwide-to-speak-out-on-population-problem/comment-page-1/#comment-8459 R E Lack Sat, 14 Feb 2009 02:19:47 +0000 http://www.populationmedia.org/?p=1457#comment-8459 In Australia, we have maximum carrying capacities for our sheep and cattle grazing lands. As only 6% of the country is arable and the rest is desert, the Government should determine the maximum human carrying capacity and publish these figures as we are already struggling to supply enough water to maintain our current population. Good quality agricultural land is being used for housing and before long, we will be trying to grow food in the desert. Growth for the sake of increasing demand is unsustainable.

Hansen says, "Tell Barack Obama the truth - the whole truth" about human-driven climate destabilization. Perhaps here and now, we will find that other great scientists, the likes of Jim Hansen and John Holdren, will speak out loudly, clearly and often to tell Barack Obama the truth - the whole truth about apparently unforeseen and unfortunately unwelcome scientific research of human population dynamics as essentially similar to the population dynamics of other species; about absolute global human population numbers as a function of the world's food supply; about human population numbers being determined by food availability; and about the daunting threats potentially posed to the family of humanity and life as we know it, even in these early years of Century XXI, resulting from the skyrocketing growth of human population numbers worldwide.
