World ‘population bomb’ may never go off as feared, finds study

As a kid in the 80s I had the chance to live a few km from the densest human habitation on Earth - Kowloon Walled City and that experience and watching Hong Kong change, planted an anti population growth seed that has continued to grow in me. I've seen first hand where uncontrolled growth leads to and what happens to the natural world, in both HK and in many places in the world.

People puting their heads in the sand are in for a rude awakening one day!

So many people talk about CO2 driven climate change and forget about man made climate effects, that include at least 100 other variables!

It took me 2 decades to wake up to the propaganda I was fed in the 80s and I'm long past trying to convince others.

Primary issue regarding all nasty Geophysical-Ecological issues, too many human beings on Earth.

Wipe us out, problems go.
