I mean this guy is trying to prevent overpopulation with an incredibly civilized method and simply let the retards castrate themselves and Veeky Forums is opposing to this?

This is natural selection Veeky Forums. You must either let this play out or they will have no choice but to use more lethal ways to deal with the extra people.

Just remove his bowtie and let his head deflate.

Overpopulation isn't an issue

>overpopulation
Why don't we just dig under ground and live like dwarf or build upwards? Think 3 dimensionally u stupit fuk

it will be in 10 years though

People have been saying this shit for millennia and it has never been true.

All evidence shows that as a country modernizes, birth rates drop. Right now the highest birthrates are in the "developing world" which are rapidly modernizing.

There's also a massive amount of unused land in the world, and genetic engineered plants have made running out of food a non-issue

There is no overpopulation in first world countries unless you mean the refugee welfare abusing scum then yes.

>Implying overpopulation is an issue where the Bill Nye's new program is destined to, the occidental people

Just face it already, your hero Bill Nye is a faggot who is dying of thirst and needs money, that's why he is going to the dark side with the SJW.

The hand waving in this post is off the charts.
>People have been saying this shit for millennia
But global population has only been in the billions for a few decades
>as a country modernizes, birth rates drop
That may be true, but it says nothing about the demand the existing population is putting on the planet.
>There's also a massive amount of unused land in the world
Where? The deserts? Or do you think clear cutting rain forests will really solve any long-term problems?
>genetic engineered plants have made running out of food a non-issue
There does not exist any food, engineered or not, that could efficiently feed the extra billions of people that will be born in the coming years. Not to mention that genetically engineered food introduces many new problems (disease susceptibility, corporate interests,etc) that may not even outweigh their potential benefit.

>Live underground
What's the point of living if you don't have a good view?

>He thinks GMOs are bad

Moron.

Overpopulation is

Overcrowding isn't

You sure are trying really hard to be scared of something that isn't a problem at all. Do you cry in terror when you see your own shadow?

Good argument friend.

>He's defending mutated garbage that grows tumors
/b/ used to troll like this. it's not funny anymore

Don't suppose you'd like to explain why the poster is a "moron"?

It's because you have nothing. You're just another one of the billions of bloated consumers that rationalizes their consumption, and lashes out bitterly with childish insults at people that question your disgusting way of life.

I don't find the issue scary at all, actually. But I do believe overpopulation is the root cause of many of the problems facing the world today, and that will only become truer as time goes by. To completely dismiss it, as everyone else in this thread seems to be doing, is to bury your head in the sand, and attack me personally doesn't help either.

How about instead of acting like chicken little and waving your "the end is nigh" sign you actually give some specifics about how overpopulation is a problem?

We have plenty of food, plenty of empty farm-able land (no, not just deserts), pollution is being handled more seriously now (especially in the "3rd world" where it is worst)... really the only "problem" with overpopulation is that it's hard to get a house in the really nice real estate. That's it.

cheaper to build up than to dig

Overpopulation is a meme. Fuck off.

Moron.

/thread

When the retards in control outnumber the sane people in control you will need to chop your nuts off to appease them.

Also, overpopulation has never been nor will ever be an issue.

When did you last check the growth numbers? We were having incredible results in slowing down population growth in developing nations by making sex education, access to birth control, decreasing infant mortality, and increasing female empowerment in reproduction top priorities.

It was working very well up until recently when it started to reverse severely in many developing nations, especially in sub Saharan Africa. There are many theories why but no definitive answer yet. What is known is that growth rates are shooting up rapidly. This is why the latest growth charts look so different from the ones of just a decade ago.

We though the population in Africa would end up leveling off but now the projections are for it to increase at a breath taking pace.

Bill Nye is only interested in people in developed nations slowing or stopping reproduction. He doesn't care about the reproduction rate in developing nations, which is weird because population growth in already pretty low or even negative in the first world.

wrong. there simply isn't enough resources to sustain a human population of something like 10 billion people who are all admiring to be in the middle class. Electricity alone can show this. if we took america as perhaps an objective or average, which currently sits at 12077 KWh per year per person. if we now factor that in for 10 billion people we get a total electricity consumption of around about 1.21E14 Kwh per year. compared to current production, which is 23536500 GWh or so. this number is about 2.4E13 Kwh. this number is about 4-5 times less than what we would need if people all reached a middle class that was similar to Americas.
As far as food goes, the only real area that is left is the Sub Saharan Africa, which is only though to be able to feed another 1 billion or so people.
so in short, when fossil fuels are running out and our next most reliable source of energy is also limited, overpopulation is a problem and renewables aren't going to fix anything because they cant provide baseload power

You aren't going to convince the consumers with numbers. The only thing they know how to do is consume stuff, and if doesn't help them consume stuff they don't want to know.

>billions of bloated consumers
Oh because your such a fucking saint amiright?

>Overpopulation isn't an issue
>it will be in 10 years though

Probably not.
If current trends continue indefinitely, the human race will eventually die out due to lack of reproduction.

...

>Stop having kids, we are too overpopulated!
>We dont have enough people to support the economy, we need immigration!

I realize your graph is a derivative but seems to still be based on old data. Africa is accelerating not decelerating.

Good thing Africa is a really big place because they're going to need the space.

Stop giving aid to Africa

>tfw the population of the developing world is far larger than that of the developed

There are going to global wars over access to water by the end of the 2020s. Encouraged trannies is just crypto eugenics.

>poor low iq countries are the ones with booming populations
>hur dur lets castrate ourselves in the developed world to check our privilege

Kill all the niggers in africa, problem solved.

GMOs are a tool corporations use for profit, a side effect has been disease susceptibility.

How many Africans are living under aid from the first world?

Pure bullshit, your digestive destroys your food really well. You can make a case for pesticides affecting your health but modern pesticides are pretty fucking good.

tract*

There is 70% of the world that is full of energy, lots of easy sun, wind and hydro power available. Currently uncontrolled by governments.

The us has tons of farm able land that is not being farmed, just because people don't want to move there and do it.

>implying they don't also use science as a tool as well

The industrial agricultural complex has enough power to control most of what gets funded and published.

You guys are missing the point. Global overpopulation isn't the issue here. It's the fucking retards that are the problem. This kind of purge needs to happen. A controlled burn is better than a wildfire.

Godspeed Bill Nye. You are the hero we we deserve, but not the one we need right now.

Who are the "fucking retards"?

Overpopulation is a meme.

>Who are the "fucking retards"?
I assume he means anyone that didn't vote for Donald Trump.
Apparently "leftists" are all a bunch of dum-dums.

It's the undeveloped world that needs to stop having kids. The developed world actually needs more children to sustain itself. Migrants are only a temporary solution because they also get old. So Bill was a bit of a dumbass in this bit.

Anyone who didn't vote for Trump is a non-binary gendered transtesticle pedophile? Then no wonder Trump won.

>It's the undeveloped world that needs to stop having kids
True but poor countries aren't going to use birth control and when you're poor the most fun thing you can do is fuck and it's the only way to provide yourself with economic security in old age
South Korea used to have high birth rates but birth rates collapsed after they industrialized and became first world, same thing can happen anywhere

>The developed world actually needs more children to sustain itself
Why? A stabilizing population with modern technology can take care of itself, the only issue is you won't be able to keep meeting all the interest payments and debt servicing that have built up so the economic model will have to change. Exponential population growth isn't realistic unless you're subsidizing it and it still won't keep up forever

AGP Trans people are high IQ, not retards.

calling things a meme is a meme

Aborigines are high IQ as well.

>South Korea used to have high birth rates but birth rates collapsed after they industrialized and became first world, same thing can happen anywhere
Take a look at the old projections and revised projections from Know why the projections have been so heavily revised for Africa? Because we're discovering that all of the tricks that worked for reducing population growth in other countries don't work in sub Saharan Africa. I know Bill Nye, the Science Messiah Guy says otherwise but some racial groups simply act differently than others. After half a century of experiments in Africa we've found that the best we can accomplish through intensive intervention are short term reductions in the birth rate. Just like a bacteria adjusting to a change in environment, after a short while the local population adjusts to the policies we push on them and population growth goes back up. Took about a decade after it became obvious that the changes only had short term growth rate reductions for us to admit that this was true.

Tanzanians simply aren't South Koreans, no matter how much we wish they were or how much it needs to be true to fit into the current dominant narrative in the developed world's leftist ideology.

You are understimating cultural isolation, the same can be said of racial groups that were living in technical isolation this far, like amazonian tribes, there's no point in attempting to reduce their population because they need people.

What we need it's less people in certain places, more people in africa doesn't makes a great difference for anyone's lives besides the markets.

just watch that kurzgesagt video on overpopulation.

overpopulation is a meme people, get in with the times

>You are understimating cultural isolation

Yes, I am instead relying on actual data from actual events.

You can't get data from isolated people, ergo the term isolation.

Now you're talking about imaginary people or uncontacted tribes? Also most of sub Saharan Africa isn't isolated in the manner you're suggesting. They've been exposed to the standard regimen of outside influences to lower their population growth. And it worked... temporarily. But all of those NGOs and all of that money and all of the effort that has been put into these "isolated" communities somehow didn't happen because it is inconvenient to your forced analogy with South Korea?

lolwut mate?
No country in Sub-Saharan Africa is comparable to Korea in development for a myriad interconnected factors. The reason population keeps growing is because Africa is still poor and hopeless. You can attribute it to le meme IQ graphs but truth is that you can't claim an entire portion of the world is doomed without having more substantial evidence to back up your assertion (which is yet to be possible since most African countries aren't in a position where they can be appropriate contrasted with trends in European and Asian nations).

If Africans do have a lower intelligence, and this lack of intelligence can be attributed to the absence of a genes/multiple genes dictating mental acuity in European and Asian populations, these shortcoming can be rectified through CRISPR and genetic engineering. It's a non-issue in the long-run. Otherwise, the Africans would just reach a peak and then go down in numbers as they kill themselves off.

His graph literally does not represent a derivative. It's percent growth. It's as different from a derivative as multiplication is different from summation (don't take this strictly). A horizontal line would mean exponential acceleration.

He's not trying to do anything. He's a lonely divorced alcoholic who hasn't been relevant for decades, he found people pay attention to him when he starts shilling for trannys and ending the white race, so he does it.

We need to grow the population of retards who consume copious amounts of resources.

For the economy.
