Population Growth Deniers condemn what they call Climate Change Deniers due to confused pro growth propaganda
This article explores the unsustainable nature of globalisation. If all plant and animal species were transported and intermingled globally what remains of most natural ecosystems would be destroyed by exotic invasive species that meet no natural predators or other environmental constraints to keep them in check. Diverse outbreaks of overpopulation and annihilation would ensue and biodiversity would suffer irreparable damage. Sound familiar? Modern economic dogma plans it that way. Biodiversity relies on LACK of globalisation in order to exist.
Australia has put itself on a pedestal of unsustainable absurdity with its mass migration driven pro population growth, pro carbon tax agenda; and the flag bearer of this gross absurdity has been the ABC.
The ABC argues that science proves that climate change is occurring, but at the same time denies that science also proves that population growth will destroy humanity and its environment in a very short period of time.
In 1835 when Melbourne was first settled by the English invaders there were only a small number of local Aborigines. Now 179 years later in 2014 the population is 4.25 million. At the current rate of annual growth of 2.5%, in another 179 years Melbourne's population would be around 350 million. This puts the current rate of unsustainable growth into perspective.
Those such as Melbourne's Mayor Robert Doyle and the ABC who regard population growth as "inevitable" are like climate change deniers. They seek to deny reality as a deliberate strategy for doing nothing to change the status quo. They act like a man standing in an empty 12 foot deep swimming pool with concrete blocks tied to his legs. The pool is rapidly filling with water and all the man is worried about is the carbon concentration of the air he is breathing.
What is going on at the ABC? They think we should set an example of how to destroy a developed society for all the world's underdeveloped societies to follow. A bit like the developed world did with the carbon based economy in the 20th century. China, India and other developing countries are now all following that model.
The time for ending this fatalistic complacency is long overdue.
We have two choices. Use intelligence to plan for a sustainable future or deliberately support the destruction of both humanity and the global ecosystem which supports it.
Technological development has been allowed to advance without the associated social intelligence. The quintessential form of social intelligence for humankind is population control. One way or another it will happen. If we don't put plans in place for this to happen in each individual country it will not happen in any country. This is a domestic responsibility with global consequences. If population control isn't planned it will occur in an uncontrolled way. It will not be pleasant and the humanitarian and environmental consequences will be catastrophic. We can already predict this with a high degree of certainty.
If we allow economists to continue to use their half-witted strategies to advise Governments on nation-building there will be no happy ending.
