David Attenborough peddling Malthusianism.
“We are a plague on the Earth. It’s coming home to roost over the next 50 years or so. It’s not just climate change; it’s sheer space, places to grow food for this enormous horde. Either we limit our population growth or the natural world will do it for us, and the natural world is doing it for us right now,” he told the Radio Times.
Sir David, who is a patron of the Optimum Population Trust, has spoken out before about the “frightening explosion in human numbers” and the need for investment in sex education and other voluntary means of limiting population in developing countries.
Ah, yeah… I get it. Those brown people are the ones who have to voluntarily cut down on their populations. This despite famine doing a damned fine job in Africa already, for example. Nothing in there about developing trade, thereby increasing their prosperity and allowing basic economics to do the job.
Still, nice to see yet again that Malthusians stick to their core hypocrisy – after all, we don’t see Attenborough doing the obvious thing that would make a start on wiping out this plague, do we? Ah, no, of course not… It’s always other people who have to do the cutting down, other people who are the plague…
Valid points.
I’ve thought about this alot lately. If ‘brown’ people do keep reproducing with a low mortality rate and given life saving operations to prolongue life then logic decrees they will grow exponentially in size causing a huge population problem of humans. There are no doctors/surgeons in the animal kingdom. It’s a vicious scenario of life and death.
However, saying that, this is a long way off. Although I no longer watch the TV, I do remember seeing that any representation of Asians or Africans were always shots in heavily populated cities, not some rural workers in a paddy field or a tribe of nomads wandering the Sahara. It is, as you know, predictive programming.
People also don’t seem to realise that the white race makes up 7% of the population. Yes, that’s the combined total of whites in N/S/C America, Europe, Russia and Australasia. That’s a tiny number for the vast landmass they live in. The over population problem is further brainwashed into the masses by government promoted mass immigration into Europe. People don’t realise the whites are dying out.
And yes, it’s about time the elites got the ball rolling with voluntary euthanasia. How wonderful this place would be without these parasites.

He is a hipocrite, I wonder if someone should ask him if people must stop sending money to the charitys that send food to Africa.

Wrong on several deatils.
Famine is no longer cutting down on Africa.
Successful live births are increasing as a proportion, all over the planet * infant mortality is waaay down & still dropping – the usual effect will emerge, very shortly, where they have not already – a very sharp drop in total birth-rate(s) I’m glad to say.
Attenborough has a valid point.
There ARE, presently, too many of us.
Fortunately, it looks as though the planet’s population will peak in the next 20-35 years & then drop speadily.
With careful management & though, we can get past that, particulalry if we can actually exploit proper power-sources like nuclear.
There are other issues, of course, but I’m not going to addrress them here.
