Ok I'm going to be serious for once.

Why is this subject never talked about? What are we on now? About 9 Billion people? It's only going to get bigger and this planet can't cope, why does nobody seem to seriously care about this?

What could we do to curb population growth without becoming totalitarian? Does this bother anyone else?

It's incredibly worrying. Although just the 7 billion I think

I think we should wipe out anyone that spells "definite" as "definate". It's only fair.

Won't be long before its 9 lol.

I like your method of removing removing illiterates from our gene pool. That should account for half of the British Isles alone

Yes they are on about a baby boom in the UK but 70% of that baby boom is from foreigners who are having 2+ children. Nothing wrong with how many children you have as long as you can afford them. It seems the rich have 2 or less children and middle class/poorer families have more sprogs. Need to put a limit of UK immigrants for a start. Our little country is getting too clogged up. There will be no green belt land in 20 years and we will be clogged up with housing. By the year 2031 it has been predicted most people will be single so we will need 2 houses for a standard split up nuclear family.

Most experts seem to agree that population growth is actually slowing and will continue slowing over the next decade. Also it is thought that the population will only reach 10bn in 2100.

You know me so well

Arista, do you honestly have a bunker?!

[lippyzippy]

unemployed people have to have multiple babies in order to finance their workless lives.
and no I didn't get that opinion from the daily mail but from actual real human beings who claim £36000+ tax free a year plus of course free rent, free heating, free council tax
id need to earn approx. £65,000 a year working 60+ hours, to have a similar disposable income as a man with 6 or 7 kids and no job....and that's fair how?

We need more wars

[Kyle]

I'd rather we just moved people we didn't like to Australia, and sealed the borders.

[Saph]

how do 'they' even know when people are born and die? it is a guess?

Probably. They probably sit around a table playing cards for weeks on end, agree on a number and then pretend they spent all that time studying census information and foreign studies.

No need to worry. Demographic transition theory states that societies' populations wax and wane based on what stage of industrialization it's in. In the post-industrial period population growth slows and eventually the population begins to decline until it reaches a stable level, as is already being seen in parts of Europe. Sleep easy, everyone

Europe yes, our country itself would be in decline if it werent for immigration.

The problem is when we start to make conditions better for the people in Africa. Yeh they should be helped but as a downside we could see a massive population boom.

Birth control and policies on having children (China ) are what should be tackled, but we wont see the effect until long term.

I guess, although immoral, the focus on keeping the elderly alive as long as possible should be narrowed. I know for sure if I was 80 and was unable to look after myself I would rather no longer be alive, Id just be a nuisance.

But it depends on how serious the big people think this problem is!
