In 1804 we were one billion humans in this planet. Now we are seven billion. How the hell did we grew so much is so little time? This video by National Public Radio has the answer. [NPR]

Tuesday, November 1, 2011 at 2:15 PMthere was only just over three billion at the start of the 60′s.
So we’ve more than doubled in just the last 40 odd years.
In other news, the level of intelligence seems to have halved in a similar time frame.

It’s a B grade comedy but probably not that far from the truth.

Tuesday, November 1, 2011 at 4:38 PMMuslims reproduce like cockroaches. They have 5 kids each so that they can spread their religion everywhere and take over the world. Its in their quran to take over the world and convert the world to their religion.

Tuesday, November 1, 2011 at 5:16 PMOf the 7Billions
33% Christian, 21% Muslim, 13% Hindu.
So it seem the Christians that reproduce like cockroaches not Muslim.
Since we on the topic:-
19% Chinese, 17% Indian, 4% American
13% Speak Mandarin, 5% Speak Spanish, 5% Speak English

Tuesday, November 1, 2011 at 6:12 PMYou racist tards always repeat that “cockroaches” s peach about whichever group you hate.
Is it because you have some copy and paste script somewhere with spaces to fill in with whatever group you hate most for that particular day?

Wednesday, November 2, 2011 at 2:31 AMYou know what’s funny… I recall more instances of being told to believe in christianity as a child growing up.
Only until now, have people like you come along and “informed” the “western world” that muslims are the ones preaching. This was probably brought about by your personal hatred for their religion – hatred that has spawned from “terrorist attacks”, nevermind you actually know next to nothing on their personal beliefs. Yet you pride yourself on knowing a few extracts from the quran to suit your hatred better.
But going back to my childhood education, even in public schools – we were indoctrinated into accepting “jesus” as our lord. Who’s to say that isn’t any different to your view on islam?
Why is islam singled out?
You’re no different. The people in this “country of free ideas” are no different. They’re just more subtle than your average muslim.
It’s actually more depressing knowing that people like you are reproducing.

Tuesday, November 1, 2011 at 7:13 PMIF more colour means more people living, is there really that much people in centre-north west Australia? O_o

Wednesday, November 2, 2011 at 12:16 AMThe colours on the big map are probably just for show… either that or they just foolishly put the WA colour in the wrong place- north instead of south.

Tuesday, November 1, 2011 at 7:16 PMunfortunately this little video doesn’t get to the root of it. It’s to do with the discovery of oil that is responsible for our exponential growth. For those interested to learn more i urge you to read ‘The Long Emergency’ by James Howard Kunstler (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Long_Emergency) and start watching this lecture which (if u finish) may very well change your lifes perspective http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F-QA2rkpBSY

Wednesday, November 2, 2011 at 1:01 AM7 billion people is a black swan on a finite planet. It needs to be said “if you are a dumb genetic monstrosity that cannot give your offspring a safe environment, education, happiness and love than perhaps parenthood is something left to the very rare non-mutated beings that didn’t need medicine to bypass Darwin’s theory of evolution, and stopped when they considered if the world really needs another consumer.
F* global warming and get to the real cause… stop anti-intellectual procreation, let nature take its course, and reduce population… There all the worlds problems solved

Wednesday, November 2, 2011 at 10:04 AMSolution? STOP BREEDING!
MDG
Wednesday, November 2, 2011 at 3:32 PMSolution, not stop breeding, people have always bred. Stop, stopping people dying.
More people dying = less people living.
Those holding adherence to Darwinian philosophy are the worst… As we all know that educated people (I have as many degrees as anyone so I’m not exactly uneducated) all accept evolution, and these are the people trying to “better the lot of those less fortunate.” (Darwin would have said, the Less fit) That is Anti-Darwinian at best.
Reducing life expectancy would be the only solution ,and that’s not going to happen any time soon (especially while there is a buck to be made). Maybe until the earth warms a bit more, the oceans overflow their bounds, or the world explodes, never know which will happen first.
