Morning. I’ve written this for today’s Sunday Express about Harry and Meghan’s two-child nonsense.pic.twitter.com/frVHN72r1G

Not really. Frankly it’s terrifying. You seem to think death is something unnatural
This documentary on the BBC by @HansRosling is quite enlightening re over population.https://deepresource.wordpress.com/2014/12/10/overpopulated-bbc/amp/ …
Sure if your only consideration is Human well-being. Makes no leeway for wildlife or conservation of other species. This human-centric approach is arrogant and short sighted imo
How should we go about the cull? Let the ill people die then start taking out the elderly? Or will u be pushing for a spartan approach? Any kids not deemed good enough will be thrown off a cliff? Let's hear some of your ideas.
~1 billion people are dependent on limited fossil aquifers that are running out
~1 billion people are dependent on glacial melt water globally that is also being lost fast
I presume you are happy to feed, water & house the resulting immigrants here in the UK.

You make a good point about fossil water but it's worse than that. 40% of the world agriculture is dependent upon a non-renewable resource and when it runs out, will affect everybody. This could happen in the next decade in some parts of the leading to mass migration & starvation
My point wasn't meant to be restrictive, there are many other problems which are equally urgent. Which specifically are you referring to? Soil erosion? Agricultural demand on (rainforest) deforested land? Fishmeal for livestock?
Encouraging the global human population to move to Britain and Europe isn’t very bright either.
Yes it’s marvellous that 50% of children aren’t dying before their 5th birthday and more people are living into their 90s and beyond, but the level of growth of population is unsustainable and irrevocably damaging the environment and climate.
But I don’t expect you to look at the other aspect of your argument as your complete refusal to ever be proven wrong is one of your (many) character flaws.
It’s science that made those wonderful things happen. But when it comes to climate change you seem oddly unmoved by scientific evidence...
Hundreds of millions are still dying of starvation and disease actually fgs! . They don’t all live in your exclusive London hub. Half of the world still hungry and living in miserable conditions. Kids scavenging on rubbish dumps! No overpopulation is not something to celebrate.
WONDERFUL that humans are destroying the planet in the arrogant belief they are more important than everything else around them?
What you refer to is a short term bubble stolen from the future. Specifically the right to basics like food, water and life of my kids and their generation.
You think the western world is the problem there, do you? Where the population growth of most countries has stagnated? Really? Interesting. It's almost like you have some sort of agenda that doesn't line up with keeping population low...
Its not a west vs east, developed vs developing country problem. Its a mismatch between population and resources and offloading of environmental pollution (and the cost thereof which will soon be economically unaffordable) on the future....
Of course. You'll just ignore the point... With the exception of the United States, the vast majority of western countries live within their means with regard to resources. Certainly considerably more so than the east.
Do you know the current populations of China and India? Close to 1.4 and 1.5 billion each. Perhaps more. While steadily climbing. You're saying that's not a greater issue than my country of Ireland with near half it's pre famine population? Are you high?
You started with a projection and a strawman and have continued with it. Your version of reality is 4 people in a room, 3 having a wee chat, 1 switching on the HCN tap to the room and the other 3 going, well we're not causing our own deaths so lets just keep chatting.
Wonderful. So you're just going to make up fantasies in your head instead of actually answering uncomfortable questions. Glorious. I expected nothing less. This is why you fail.
