The world’s most renowned population analyst has called for a massive reduction in the number of humans and for natural resources to be redistributed from the rich to the poor.
Paul Ehrlich, Bing professor of population studies at Stanford University in California and author of the best-selling Population Bomb book in 1968, goes much further than the Royal Society in London which this morning said that physical numbers were as important as the amount of natural resources consumed.
The optimum population of Earth – enough to guarantee the minimal physical ingredients of a decent life to everyone – was 1.5 to 2 billion people rather than the 7 billion who are alive today or the 9 billion expected in 2050, said Ehrlich in an interview with the Guardian.
“I have a grim view of what is likely to happen to my children and grandchildren. Politicians can control the financial mess we are in but they don’t have control over the systems of the planet that provide us our food, our welfare, those are deteriorating and it will take us a long time to turn it around if we start now. It’s hard to think of anything that will pop up and save us. I hope something will but it really will be a miracle.”

Hi,
Have a war that will drastically reduce the level of population.
I think the time has come as predicted and we ourselves are going to bring it upon us.
Let Love, Light and Divinity fill us ALL ....................
Contradictions in this story abound. 1) reduce population but redistribute resources to the poor. What? 2) Obama was not mentioned in the video. Someone is not paying attention to what is going on in the world. There are plenty of resources but there is an agenda to destroy these resources. It is not the 99% it is the Cabal for personal gain. And the people in this video made my skin crawl with there BS.
