That within a very short time span, we've added almost 2 billion people to this planet.

That's almost 2 BILLIONS!!!

I remember late 80's and just early 90's, we were just a bit above 5 billions. Just 2 decades later, almost 2 more billions added.

Staggering! How the hell are we going to feed all these mofos?

What I wonder about is if their addition caused any differences to the Earth's movement. That's like at least 200 billion extra pounds of rotating mass.

If the arable land of the US where used to create a city with the population density of Reilly North Carolina (which business week calls the best city in the US) the US could hold 1.3 trillion people.

If we dropped the consumption of meat our food production would be 10x as effective instantly.

overpopulation is a myth because humans reduce their procreation when they notice that they are in a high population-density situation. This is BAD because every liberal government is a ponzi scheme based on there being another generation of even more people to take on the obligations of the prior generation.

Holy fuck, I hope thats a joke.

Okay, I understand the laws of conservation of mass in a closed system, (bear with me, I studied Lit) but don't understand how that can apply to, say, the collective human civilization...or any group of living organisms. What existed 60 000 years ago as a counter to the mass of 7 billion people? Or the vegetation we've consumed to grow or the cattle we've raised on that vegetation to turn into tasty burgers and become the fattest we've ever been?

Explain to me. I is science stupid.

Oh, I agree with that. I was laughing at the 200 billion extra pounds bit. Do you think that those extra 2 billion people weigh an average of 200 pounds? Most are likely starving Chinese and Indian manlets. You need to account for ~80 billion pounds.

this is part of the conspiracy to keep America fat. If we stay fat, we can keep our wobble right, if we don't, wobble out of orbit :(
