| no that seems to be your argument. my argument would be to reference the malthusian growth model which projects the world population will hit 9 billion by 2040 and continue on its exponential trajectory until it stabilizes around 11.5 billion and the world becomes a wasteland. the fact that the next 2.5 billion people will take only 30 years where the first 2.5 billion took over 50,000 is just one staggering fact within this reality. however i thought bill nye explaining this to you in lay terms with charts and diagrams would sink in better. |

| I'm not saying overpopulation isn't possible. It's just not in 2009 |

| the world is already overpopulated. physical space isn't the only metric. it would take 3 earths worth of resources to sustain our current population with current consumption. |

Good for Chinese I suppose, bad news for the world. There are already too many Chinese people on this planet, we don't need them to multiply any faster.
I bet it's a plot to take over the world. Even more Chinese people will leave the country as a result and the overseas communities will grow significantly. |

just because you can't identify them doesn't mean they don't exist or that their existence is even in question. take for example the the rise of the middle class in china, india and other exploding developing countries. hundreds of millions of people are now living with disposable income, developing a taste for american-style mass consumption including luxuries of obsolescence such as fashion, cars, suburban living, red meat diets, etc... all these behaviors increase waste, mining for resources, production of raw materials, manufacturing of disposable goods, habitat destruction, overfishing, not to mention the amount of food energy used to bring every pound of meat product to market. |
