re: #375 Leonidas Hoplite

I sense a bit of sarcasm here. Are you of the opinion that fewer humans would ease our current distress?

No, not at all. A few days ago on another thread, I forget the topic. Somebody posted that with today’s technology we could easily feed 50 billion people on Planet Earth. He received 3 plus dings in a matter of 5 minutes. I found that statement ludicrous, to which I replied: Well, there’s more to planet “stress” than just food production. Imagine 50 billion people flushing their toilets twice a day as just one small example.

The sarcasm was intended for those who believe we could support 50 billion people right now.
