    Influential? maybe, i'm sure some people listen to him. Powerful? absolutely not. he has little or no actual power

    You're right. Just influential so.

    The title of this thread does pose an interesting question, is the world overpopulated and becoming unsustainable?

    Bear in mind the UN's Sustainable Development Goals, set in 2010 (and reviewed every 5yrs) have (all x20) announced last week, missed their planned targets.

    what is your opinion?

    what is your opinion?
    Based on the UN's Sustainable Development Goals, which where all missed, this might indicate it may well be (heading for 9bn by 2040).

    What's your view?

    I think you may be correct.

    he's a crank. yet you propose him as some sort of figure of authority

    I don't.

    Do you not find him erudite and well spoken?

    I remember this Coleman fella had a column in one of the UK tabloids back in the 80s/90s. I particularly remember an article he wrote scaremongering about ecstasy when the rave scene was taking off. He said ecstasy triggered terrifying hallucinations eg if you've a fear of spiders you'll think spiders are crawling all over you, if you've a fear of rats you'll think hundreds of rats are coming for you etc...

    Well Dr Coleman, I took quite a bit of ecstasy in the 90s and never had anything but a brilliant time on it. Therefore I can only come to the conclusion that Dr Vernon Coleman is full of sh!t.

    Indeed the vast majorty of folks would agree with this (the world is over populated), as it heads for 9bn in 2040.

    The big question is (as the UN misses all x20 of it's sustainability goals, again) is what can be done about it?

    I.e. What level of intervention should be used (by the elite, wealthy and powerful, the average Joe & Jane has no sway or influence in this).

    What type of 'clean' reduction intervention (this rules out any unclean wars which would contaminate soil for generations).

    One has to consider what is the ideal population level, bearing in mind the rise of automation and coming redundancy of traditional human assets as labour, even many mid-level skilled folks.

    Of course I don't have all, or indeed any good answers to this huge issue, not many people do, these are very tricky quesitons for anyone to address.

    I disagree that the average person has no influence on this. they could stop having large families. Traditionally families were large because of high infant mortality rates. Improved vaccinations for childhood diseases can persuade people that large families are not required. as can improvements in education and general healthcare. you can see this yourself in Ireland. I have 6 siblings and that is not a large number for families of my generation. nowadays it is practically unheard of. Improving healthcare and reduction in poverty levels has lead to that decrease in family sizes in ireland. we need to be doing the same for those countries outside the first world.

    In the West yes, indeed, this has already happened (the sqeamish should not google the abortion figures).

    The biggest issue and projection is for the developing world. Already the estimate for e.g. Africa is to double to 2.5bn between now and 2050, about x5 that of Europe (Europe will remain at 500m or so between now, and 2050), assuming there are not future mass migration factors to contend with.

    The global projection stands at 9bn for 2040, this isn't reversable in any easy sense, it will reduce towards 2100, but the UN Sustainability targets (already all missed) will be shredded to peices, well before then.

    Yes, fertility rates have collapsed all across the West, and, sadly, abortion is widespread.

    the rest of my post that you didnt bother to include in the quote addressed this.

    The basis for this thread is an old man promoting his own books, trying to convince easily led people that "They" (whoever they are) "are trying to kill 6 billion of us"

    Essentially, 'old man yells at cloud'.

    In Eng & Wales: 550 every single day, and not just during flu season.

    Fertility levels are down dramtically in the West, various possilbe reasons, poor diets, obesity, toxins including heavy metals such as aluminium, mercury, thimerosal and squalene as adjuvants and so on.

    The 2040 projections are assumed as more or less steadfast already, due to recent, current, and projected birth rates (it's 2020 now). The world projection for 9bn isn't going to change much, unless you're going to suggest some sudden force majeure levels of intervention.

    what is the relevance of abortion to this conspiracy? btw, what is the conspiracy? perhaps the OP could explain

    I'm not. I am making a suggestion as to how the problem can be tackled. feel free to make your own suggestions.
