Good luckYeah, like I care what the population of Europe will be in 2100. The only thing I care about is hitting the Pick 4 lottery tonight.
Of course they would, they rape just as frequentlyYet the U.K. has had 2.5m immigrants in the last 2 years
Or they talking indigenous? Because dark skinned breed like rabbits
The population can EASILY crash, across the whole planet in fact, and this is a completely apolitical issue.Anyone who thinks the populations anywhere are crashing is fucking stupid. Empty space will be taken up by subjects of overcrowding. The population will only ever go up, unless some catastrophic apocalypse happens. Otherwise, the topic is Neanderthal conservative fear-mongering.
Extremely isolated incidents don’t mean shit. The population has been steadily growing along with innovation and overall intelligence. Population collapse is a NON-ISSUE and will always be a NON-ISSUE, the world as we know it will already be completely over if any meaningful population collapse occurs, simply based on supply and demand of resources. Just like any other animal populations. Humans are no different. The supply and demand of resources will ALWAYS balance out.The population can EASILY crash, across the whole planet in fact, and this is a completely apolitical issue.
The ONLY reason the world population grows at all is because the food supply is constant. And the only reason the food supply is constant is because of modern Ammonia based fertilizers. Around 1908 the world ran out of natural fertilizers (in the form of guano harvested from pacific islands through the Guano Islands Act of 1856), this fertilizer increased crop yields throughout the EARTH and was responcible for the dramatic population growth of the mid-late 19th century.
When the guano, which was a finite resource, was nearly all used up by the first decade of the 20th century a german scientist named Fritz Haber invented the process of using FOSSIL FUELS to turn atmospheric nitrogen into AMONIA which could then be solodified into a nitrate and used as the world's new fertilizer.
To this day 5% of all the natural gas on Earth is used in to make this same AMMONIUM NITRATE based fertilizer. If for whatever reason a nation, continent, or the world lost access to fossil fuels the prcocess they use to make petroleum based fertilizers will stop.
It is estimated that Ammonia based fertilizers account for 75% of all food produced on Earth. That means without it crop yields will crash by 3/4 and that would equate to 3/4 of all humans on Earth starving to death.
Don't think it can happen? It can and has in isolated examples through the world already. In 2021 the government of Sri Lanka banned artificial fertilizer. Within just that one growing season an entire harvest failed. The normally self sufficient nation was forced to import food at ultra-high prices, rather than starve the poorest people stormed the capital and the government collapsed. That all happened in a single growing season. Imagine what would happen on a global scale over a period of two or three years. Remember the Holodomor Famine, that was just one year and it killed off a huge portion of the population of Ukraine in just one year. And guess what, natural gas is a finite resource. Constant Human population growth is therfore NOT sustainable for the long term and the population will crash, maybe not now or even 100 years, but it will.
Unless the laws of supply and demand are usurped, hijacked, or eliminated by the forced implementation of command economy principles which would delay or deny producers from CREATING the supply in the first place because some faceless bureaucrat deemed it neccessary to wipe out one particular group, or another, or everyone on a whim as we saw in 1932-33 Ukraine, as we was in Sri Lanka, as we have seen the European Union flirting with the idea in Denmark, Germany, and others. What do you think all those farmer protests in the EU were about. Sure humanity will survive regardless but demographics will change, can change, have changed, and are changing based almost solely on the the issue of a finite resource called petroleum and its use in the agricultural industry.Extremely isolated incidents don’t mean shit.
