Falling birth rates, a goal to be pursued, is being painted as a fearsome prospect to be fought, lest our populations stop ballooning *decades from now* and start shrinking back (shock, horror) towards a size slightly more compatible with the longer-term survival of civilization.
@karin_kuhlemann @Brumgreens The population will always be survival sized (or they won't survive). We are looking at real dropping fertility from pollution, humanity may be going extinct without climate change being the cause..
@karin_kuhlemann @JunagarhMedia Phil Cafaro offers a a stimulating series of interviews called "The Population Factor". Unlikely to attract viewers from opposing viewpoints, the series does however offer thoughtful, free education, a sense of community, & open communication. video.earthxtv.com/shows/populati…
@karin_kuhlemann I assume you're referring to this week's Radio 4 thing? I found it infuriating
@karin_kuhlemann @OurSacredGrove I prefer to think of the planet's survival first! Humans have not earned the right to survive after such wanton destruction of the planet, her creatures & her plants!
@karin_kuhlemann It's going to take Four Horsemen. Oh look, there's one now! #COVID19
@karin_kuhlemann Currently existing capitalism REQUIRES perpetual growth of consumers.
