Come on people...you MUST have an opinion. They say the planet goes into deficit from August on. That's like running a household and your pay only provides enough to go until Aug. From Aug through Dec, you are borrowing to survive. How long can you go borrowing 1/3 of your mandatory expenses each year? It's kind of like the US federal government...only the planet is zero-sum...there is NO "printing more" when it runs out.

There are upwards of 9 billion people...7 billion at the least. That is 7X MORE than the earth ever had up until oil/industrialization. This HUGE, exponential increase has taken place over the last 200 or so years. There are too many poor mouths to feed. They're poor because they CAN'T compete with us. They are literally stone age people being thrust into modern society. It NEVER works. Look at the failed blacks, unable to adapt, unable to thrive. Look at the Native Americans...same thing, unable to adapt, to thrive in a modern western civilization. They are NOT us...and until we admit it and deal with it on a REALISTIC and pragmatic basis...we're doomed. America is doomed as it becomes overwhelmed by minorities...we're at 50:50 now...and it's getting worse, not better.
