Caught the end of it...
He said that we do not have to worry because the birth rate has stabilized...
Then said that there will be 10 billion of us by the end of the century...
Now correct me if I am wrong but as there are 6 billion of us now thats an extra 4 billion...
Not what I would call stable, but I am not a statistician!

The birth rate certainly has not stabilised . The only way to stabilise is massive investment in third world countries using resourse based renewable energy huge irrigation initiatives using desalination plants and giving poor countries control over thete own destinies Women when given a higher standard of living produce less babies we see that all over the western world where declining birth rates are actually a problem. The billionaires of this world perpetuate the lie that the world is overcrowded with better distribution of the worlds wealth feeding and giving everyone a standard of living we in the west take for granted is doable inside a generation |

This man speaks what I regard to as truth.
Recent FAO report confirmed we already produce enough food for all, about 2590 cal per person per day. |

Given that individual countries, including the UK, can't organise better distribution of wealth (or at least choose not to) what hope is there for better world wide distribution? |

There are three kinds of Lies.
Lies,damned lies,and Statistics.
I believe this to be true.
To often statistician read the statistics,to suit their own ends.
Rather than to reveal,any true statistical facts.
