So in last 50 years. We had lost:
> 60% of all mammals
> 60% of all birds
> 60% of all reptiles
> even more insects(although there is no consensus what % exactly)
besides that:
> we are having cataclysms more often
> accelerating global warming
> giant deforestation
> we have to give up some freedom to sustain even more people
These are all terrible things mostly caused by our economics which is build for never ending growth.
How can we stop this.
What can we do with overpopulation?

An ornithologist (PhD in veterinary science) friend explained to me that bird extinction rates are absurdly overinflated in most scare statistics, because the term "extinction" is used on a per-country or even per-territory basis. i.e. if a species of bird is no longer observed in a specific country starting in some year, it is recorded as extinct there. Thus at the very least any species of bird is counted as extinct multiple times for each country it stops appearing in. More than that, re-appearances of the bird (since habitation ranges are in a constant flux) are not subtracted from this figure. So if the same species is only observed in a country once every few years, as e.g. some migratory species are in Europe, the same bird is counted as going extinct again every time it stops appearing for a few years. Separately for every country.

Then this hugely inflated figure is compared to the total number of known bird species and gives you a silly figure like say 60%, even though the actual number of bird species globally barely changed.

I'm not sure how this translates to other species, from what I understand the systems of recording for birds specifically are uniquely complex and byzantine.

>> No.10527247

>>10526789
We haven't lost 60% of any of those groups, making ridiculous claims to back your agenda is foolish. The actual numbers are sufficiently concerning, but when you use faked data you risk having the problem rejected as false when your data is revealed as false.

Or, theoretically, cooling, which would also cause climate change. Other factors could also change and bring about change in climate -- changes in the quantity of condensation nuclei, changes in atmospheric gases through vulcanism, asteroid strikes, or even continental movements in the long term.

First stop the myth that overpopulation isn't a problem and that we should breed more.
Second drop coal usage instead of investing more money in it.
Create more national parks and more important ocean parks for marine life breeding/mating locations.
Why ban cars? You could just invest money in public transport so people would prefer to use it.
To be fair also banning diesel cars in favour of electric would be a good step in my opinion.(electric cars aren't cheap enough though so that would be a long term goal).
Of course with smaller population you wouldn't need to ban anything(with exception of coal).
If we want more freedom we need stop breeding like rabbits or our civilization will be unsustainable(actually it already is) but in most countries right wing is spreading this bs that everything is fine.

In China for the Olympics they shut off major industry near where the foreigners were because the smog would of been too bad to have athletic events. Don't assume it's a single nation state actor and don't attach your Political beliefs to you action plan.

For example ocean plastic pollution.
https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/stemming-the-plastic-tide-10-rivers-contribute-most-of-the-plastic-in-the-oceans/

The drive of China to get economic success and their inability to control ecological damage is a statement. In the US where multiple parties compete and strive for advantage means if you can present a clear and present danger in ecology you have a chance to make changes. In China with it's control by a small oligarchy who will not be affected by eco catastrophes unless it get real bad is the worse danger to our world.With their media control and top down control there will be no grass roots movements like in Europe, Japan and North America for eco recovery. India and industrialized Africa have the same limited numbers of people in control and equivalent issues.
China is the greatest threat to our global ecology though.

Economic incentives, sanctions, or just wait for them to stop. China is going to finish what's basically a late industrial revolution and start cutting back on carbon emissions in a few decades, but India is a little more behind and has a quicker growing population. Isn't it funny to thing that the fate of the environment could lie in the somewhat dirty hands of people who defecate outdoors?

Anyhow, replace coal with gas, replace gas with fission, replace fission with fusion is how I suspect things will be tending towards over the next couple of centuries. Provided we can get that last step, that is. Either way we should be tending towards a more and more efficient society that may eventually be able to survive just off highly efficient solar and geothermal or latent radioisotope generation.

Perhaps in the far future we'll even have massive climate engines, that we turn on to pump vast amounts of gasses in or out of the atmosphere for the purpose of altering the climate of the planet, as a sort of analog to terraforming machines on other worlds. This is basically necessary if we want to extend the planet's habitability as close to the sun going pop as possible, though at that distant a time we may not think of that as as much of a priority at all. One can only hope that there will be a continuous recorded history from now until then, if only for educational purposes.

unironically this.
if you really want to help the best you can do is commit suicide because your sole existance needs a huge amount of resources, example your food that uses all kinds of technology trucks tractors electricity etc etc the internet needs a huge amound of resources too...
reducing population will make the biggest contribution.

So in last 50 years. We had lost:

> 60% of all birds
> 60% of all reptiles
> even more insects(although there is no consensus what % exactly)
besides that:
> we are having cataclysms more often
> accelerating global warming
> giant deforestation
> we have to give up some freedom to sustain even more people

While we're certainly experiencing a mass extinction, I suggest knowing exactly where those figures come from. I know a large portion of extinction rate numbers are from a debunked 70s study, which is rightfully dismissed by academics but cited endlessly by popsci garbage.

You all are so greedy to think you can have your cake and eat it too. Something has to be sacrificed. Here's my prediction anyways. The population will decline eventually. Whether it is through an epidemic or not is irrelevant. You can already see how western lifestyle is affecting birth rates. Not only do people decide to not have children but you see many more women not being able to have children without having to go to a clinic for insemination. Like everything in the universe, there is a counter force to balance or destroy it. Humans are no different even though we have big enough egos to think we are god-like. The fittest survive and the weak are culled. Humans just have s lot of weak in need to be culled. Eventually we won't be able to prop it up anymore. It probably won't be quick but it will be steady.

this unfolds naturally anon. you need do nothing. sloth confided in me that all things will be resolved in time because people are to stupid on average in the west to understand that their life styles were not sustainable

as the west declines due to the desire to have greater profit margins 3rd world nations that had partially developed fall into ruin in most cases. they will implode and their people will die mostly. this is all vary darwinian. countries that cannot accept basic truths of this world will be incapable of feeding their own people despite having the land to do so .no excuses for lack of water since desalinization plants are easy to make and the oceans cover so much of the earth.

they are condemned by their lack of understanding in "the information age". dullards wandering through life expecting capitalism to save them. a system built on pure form greed will save the collective... ahhahahahHAhahaHahHaHaHaahah

relief may come to late for many species but they will be avenged and the offenders will do the dirty work to save every one the trouble. no one need dirty their blade with such lowly bottom feeders blood... if they dont want to
