Is this guy a hero?

Nah. We are letting radical Islam take care of that problem now.

"50 at a time"

50 at a time won't cut it.

We need to stay below 8 billion people. Below 7 billion would be better but we are already past that.

Either our birth rate must cut by more than half, or our death rate must more than double. At some point part of the equation is going to be to stop keeping people artificially alive.

If something doesn't happen soon, our grandchildren will see famine, or wars for food. I think we had better hang on to our nukes, because we won't make those decisions until earth makes them for us. At that point it will be kill or die.

Ok Malthus. Of course, every other prediction in the past of world overpopulation leading to the apocolypse has come to reality so you surely couldn't be wrong.

I certainly could be wrong.

But you would have to agree that there IS a point beyond which we cannot support ourselves. At the rate at which our rate of growth is increasing it becomes more and more likely that we will see it within two or three generations.

The Earth is trying to kill us (and honestly, that was the rational of one guy on Rush as to why he doesn't recycle or care about the environment) we've just gotten better at dealing with it.

In 1970, there were roughly half as many people in the world as there are now.

An "A" for effort?

Of course there is a point, somewhere. There's no real basis to think that it's within the next two or three generations, though, that's just picking a number to cause a reaction. We do have an ability to adapt and innovate, which is why all the prior predictions of overpopulation leading to global disaster have not come to realization.
