The Earth is overpopulated? (Page 5) ghostgeek: Wasn't that something to do with the Commies diverting water from the Aral Sea so they could grow cotton? The Colorado River suffers from the same problem, does it not? Dorkencakes: Yep and yep! Floods and droughts are creating refugees now. That was predicted. It will continue. It will worsen unfortunately. Mermaide: Yes, it is overpopulated. I recommend that every male be fitted with a non perishable, self cleansing, reusable and unremovable condom for at least 5-7 years to enable mother earth to heal herself. Within this duration, I hope people educate themselves. Dorkencakes: Mermaide, I'm thinking a 20 year voluntary moratorium. That should do it. Education along the whole way. davidk14: . Moratorium? Perhaps another solution. Perhaps women should give the best oral sex then that would curb baby making....a little....maybe....perhaps. . calybonos: We must fight fire with fashion. No one wants to be out of style, so the answer is simple...Bring back skinny jeans. On the off chance that doesn't work, legalize cannibalism. The slow fat ones who are taking up space and consuming more than their weight in potato chips would be easy to catch, and I've been told they taste just like chicken. If nothing else, it might buy us some time to develop genetically altered food sources, such as a burrito/rabbit hybrid, capable of reproducing itself at a high rate. I still haven't worked out a plan to compensate for the inevitable increase in demand for salsa and chips, but that's something I'm sure the boys in R&D could handle. Dorkencakes: Zika could potentially be a real game changer unless they're faking us out for more money. Dorkencakes: Little boy was attacked yesterday by a mountain lion, his mom pulled it off him but he had head, neck and face injuries. ghostgeek: Dr Susan Crockford said: “On almost every measure, things are looking good for polar bears.” In a report for the climate sceptic Global Warming Policy Foundation, she said: “Scientists are finding that polar bears are well distributed throughout their range and adapting well to changes in sea ice. “Health indicators are good and they are benefiting from abundant prey. It really is time for the doom and gloom about polar bears to stop.” Dr Crockford, of the University of Victoria in British Columbia added: “Polar bears are still a conservation success story. With a global population almost certainly greater than 25,000, we can say for sure that there are more polar bears now than 40 years ago.

The man in the video, magnus Andersen, has been studying polar bears starting 1995- so the video is 21 years at its oldest | Off Topic Chat Room Similar Conversations |
