THink about it, if there were less people, there would be less poverty, less hunger, and global warming would not be an issue if there were less people to use fossil fuels. Also, for the US immigration issue, if there were less people in Mexico, there would probably be less of a need for them to come here.
so, I say the population should be less, but I won't give up my life for it
Global warming?!? are you kidding?!? The Earth goes through heating & cooling cycles... let me tell you a story called daisy world (really a clever analigy as to why global warming is bs)
Imagine a planet with the same atmosphere as Earth...ok? the only diffrence is that the only things that lives on daisyworld are daisies.
The daisies are all one species w/ 2 possible colors, a very dark purple and white. Now we have our setting.
when the planet is warm, the purple daisies die out because thy absorb the heat, and are unable to survive. The white daises prosper, and spread across the planet. Because of the white daisies, the heat escapes more easily, causing the planet to cool back down. After several years of almost all white daisies, the planet starts to cool down and nothing changes except the general temperature of the planet.
A few years later it starts getting to cold, and the purple daisies, which absorb heat, start to flourish, and the white ones freeze in winter. The purple daisies spread across the world, until the planet starts to warm up again, just to repeat the cycle.
The moral is, the planet is bigger than you, it can take care of itself!!!!
