I tend to agree with his intent, but not the methods. It's a purely scientific view though, it would never become reality. The author of the article is fear-mongering by presenting a purely scientific outlook to an emotional population.

IMO the only way to preserve the future of our species is through a mass population reduction. My preferred method would be to ensure that for one generation every 2 people are permitted only one child. 50% population drop in 1 generation and a 50% easing on our demand for the earth's resources. I think we are WAY past the sweet spot population wise, too many mouths to feed, not enough jobs to employ everyone, a global economy that can't afford to pay out what it requires to take in, too much 'natural space' taken up for housing... it's all on the brink of collapse to me.

Of course you can't implement any of this in a politically correct society but I don't believe even tech is going to be able to make a bright future out of our exponential population growth. Quite frankly I'm pleased I won't be around to see what I think is coming.

This planet called earth has been spinning for millions of years.
Man's presence on this rock had been in the last few hundred thousand years.
a brief flash of time for us when compared to everything around us.
But according to you its over populated and cramped and on the brink of destruction from overpolulation or resource scarecity.
What a noble little monkey you are . It must be hard to live on a planet of monkeys not as smart as you.
Listing to your reasoning is like listing to children talk. So nieve and yet so sure of them selves.

Kinda agree with the ideology of the report but certainly not the methodology posed as the way to move forward. It's not too difficult to understand how over population leads to increased levels of consumption and the impact it has in that eventuality upon our planet as a whole.

The scary parts in this "scientists" collaboration on cause and effect vs, solutions sadly all seem to hinge on oppression by socio-political measures that step far aside of science and seem to be based more upon "one world utopian" ideologies that should scare the shit outta anyone capable of sifting through the diatribal hen scratchings and actually see what's behind the subterfuge of "science" to see it's purely more of the "we know what's best for you and don't care one whit for what you think of our ideologies, much less the emotional cost such implementations would bring about or how these factors might effect society in general, and legally or morally ....... our conclusions should be above reproach". Very Hitleresque to say the least.

True scientists typically tend to work outside the confines of socialistic agendas, but this cat certainly doesn't. That alone is enough to give reasonable pause to anyone believing him to be a scientist at all, much less anyone capable of heading a federal office whose intent is to address and regulate scientific activities on the part of our government and society.

Yep, Obamas actual ideas of "change" seem to be becoming more and more apparent and seem to be more far reaching in scope and intent than anything he stumped for in his campaign .... whatta surprise eye

@madmex - were you replying to me? If so I didn't mention one word about the fate of this planet as a whole but spoke specifically of the state of our species on it. This planet's future existence could care less about what we do to it... it's a self renewing ball of rock that will continue to orbit whether we exist or not. It has the potential to go through a dozen more cycles of life before being swallowed into the sun; that's a foregone conclusion.

What I discussed was the future of humans in particular and our foreseeable quality of life on this ball of rock that isn't getting any bigger. To that end there are predictions afoot that we may naturally self limit around 10 billion by the end of the century which would be good. Others predict we may hit that mark by 2050 and still be climbing. The high and low scenarios for long term (year 2300) have us between 35 billion on the high end, to as low as 3 billion if we suffer a severe population crash (disease, food supply collapse, etc.) The reality of course will fall somewhere in the middle.

War, human nature's solution to overpopulation. Bomb the crap out of North Korea and Iran.

john holdren

this asshole actually said this:
"Adding a sterilant to drinking water or staple foods is a suggestion that seems to horrify people more than most proposals for involuntary fertility control. Indeed, this would pose some very difficult political, legal, and social questions, to say nothing of the technical problems. No such sterilant exists today, nor does one appear to be under development. To be acceptable, such a substance would have to meet some rather stiff requirements: it must be uniformly effective, despite widely varying doses received by individuals, and despite varying degrees of fertility and sensitivity among individuals; it must be free of dangerous or unpleasant side effects; and it must have no effect on members of the opposite sex, children, old people, pets, or livestock".

Still think war is the best method of population control, but we would have to change or policy on war. We would need to keep the countries we defeat in the war instead of giving it back to them.
