Overpopulation

Overconsumption (Not Overpopulation)

“The Cost of Universal Care”

We could provide food, water, education, healthcare, and housing
for everyone on Earth for $34 billion a year…

Instead, the world spends that on the military every 4 weeks.

The decline in global population is hitting developed nations hard, while places like the Middle East and Africa continue to grow. The red-pill crowd has demonstrated that social media and modern feminist ideals have made dating a minefield in the West—meaning social media is promoting hypergamy, unrealistic expectations, and a rejection of traditional gender roles, which leads to lower marriage and birth rates.

Meanwhile, many parts of Africa and the Middle East have cultures that still emphasize family, marriage, and child-rearing as core life goals. Plus, they have less exposure to Dating Apps, TikTok, Tinder culture, OnlyFans, or the kind of media that pushes independence over partnership…such as 3rd and 4th wave feminism.

For decades, liberal media outlets have sounded the alarm on impending climate catastrophes, predicting doomsday scenarios that repeatedly fail to materialize. From the 1970s global cooling scare to Al Gore’s infamous claim that the Arctic would be ice-free by 2013, these forecasts have consistently missed the mark. Every few years, the narrative shifts—from rising sea levels submerging major cities to mass extinctions and unlivable heat waves—yet the timeline for disaster keeps getting pushed further into the future. Despite these exaggerated claims, places like New York and Miami remain above water, polar bears continue to thrive, and food shortages haven’t led to widespread societal collapse. The real consequence of these failed predictions isn’t just public skepticism; it’s the erosion of trust in legitimate environmental concerns, making it harder to separate reasonable conservation efforts from politically motivated fear-mongering.

The real concern isn’t climate change itself but the tangible issues of pollution and resource depletion. While the media fuels exaggerated doomsday scenarios, the true threats are toxic air, contaminated water, and the reckless overuse of finite resources. Cities suffocated by smog, rivers poisoned by industrial waste, and soil degraded by unsustainable farming pose immediate dangers to human health and ecosystems.

Instead of fixating on speculative temperature projections decades ahead, the focus should be on practical solutions—such as nuclear energy that doesn’t cripple economies, responsible industrial practices, and sustainable resource management. Climate fear-mongering distracts from these pressing issues, enabling corporations and governments to greenwash policies while pollution and waste continue unchecked.

The push for 100% renewables is more ideological than practical. While renewables have a role in the energy mix, they cannot fully replace fossil fuels unless battery storage technology advances significantly.

For decades, liberal media outlets have warned of impending climate catastrophes, yet their predictions repeatedly fail to materialize. From the 1970s global cooling scare to Al Gore’s claim that the Arctic would be ice-free by 2013, these forecasts consistently miss the mark. The narrative keeps shifting—rising sea levels submerging cities, mass extinctions, unlivable heat waves—yet the timeline for disaster is always just around the corner.

Meanwhile, New York and Miami remain above water, polar bears continue to thrive, and food shortages haven’t triggered societal collapse. The real consequence of these failed predictions isn’t just public skepticism—it’s the erosion of trust in legitimate environmental concerns, making it harder to separate genuine conservation efforts from politically driven fear-mongering.

Reducing meat and dairy intake is the ‘single biggest way’ to reduce your impact on Earth. Optionally, simply avoid factory farmed foods. Grass raised animal agriculture may actually benefit the environment. Further, cows and chickens don’t eat human grade foods, rather they eat agricultural waste foods.

Nuclear Power Danger Myth:

Nuclear power is the safest, cleanest, and most reliable energy source available, yet it’s been unfairly demonized due to political fear-mongering.

Here’s why it’s superior:

Recycled Waste – Yes, there are nuclear plants that can used nuclear waste
Zero Carbon Emissions – Produces no greenhouse gases, unlike fossil fuels.
Reliable 24/7 Energy – Unlike wind and solar, nuclear provides constant, stable power.
Extremely Low Waste – Modern reactors produce minimal waste, and again some can recycle spent fuel, further reducing it.
Incredibly Safe – Advanced reactor designs make accidents like Chernobyl impossible.
High Energy Density – A tiny amount of uranium produces massive amounts of energy, far more efficient than wind, solar, or even natural gas.
Fear-Mongering Killed Progress – Thanks to decades of hysteria, mostly from Democrats and environmental extremists, nuclear expansion was stalled, leaving us with unreliable renewables and energy insecurity.

If not for this misguided fear, we’d already have a clean, abundant, and stable power grid without the environmental damage of lithium battery storage or fossil fuels.

Recycling is a Marketing Scam

See the video here exposing that plastic is labeled as recyclable, only to increase the purchase of plastics.

Incinerators have lower emissions than recycling and can easily and cleanly burn waste and recycled waste.
Marketing: The plastic industry has spent millions on propaganda to convince people that plastic is recyclable so they keep buying it, even though companies have admitted the programs are not viable.
Less than 10% of plastic is recycled – The vast majority ends up in landfills, incinerators, or polluting waterways.
Cities promote “advanced recycling” programs that don’t recycle anything—plastic is stockpiled in warehouses or sent to unregulated facilities.
ExxonMobil and other plastic producers fund these programs as part of a massive greenwashing campaign to make people believe plastic is sustainable.
Recycling centers are often a front—Houston’s plastic, for example, was tracked via Apple AirTags and found sitting in open-air storage, not being processed.
Big Oil profits from plastic production while pretending to care about recycling—plastic is made from oil and gas, so selling more plastic = more profit.
Exxon was caught faking its recycling process—a truck shown feeding plastic into their “advanced recycling” system was empty during a media demo.
The California Attorney General is investigating Exxon for a decades-long campaign of deception, pushing the myth that recycling can solve the plastic waste crisis.
Recycling is not a solution—it’s a distraction to keep consumers believing they are helping the environment while corporations flood the planet with more waste.

Recycling is a corporate smokescreen to shift blame onto consumers while Big Oil and plastic manufacturers continue business as usual—polluting the Earth and making billions in the process.

Plastics and Plastic Straw Myth:

While reducing plastic waste is good, banning straws is mostly symbolic rather than impactful.
If the goal is real ocean cleanup, efforts should focus on fishing gear, large-scale plastic dumping, and Africa/Asia polluters

Plastic Waste in the Oceans:

The U.S. contributes less than 1% of global plastic waste that ends up in the ocean.
The majority (over 80%) of ocean plastic comes from Africa and Asia, where waste management infrastructure is poor.
The top polluters are countries like China, Indonesia, the Philippines, and India, where plastic waste is dumped into rivers leading to the ocean.

Plastic Straws’ Contribution:

Plastic straws make up only about 0.025% of total ocean plastic waste (so, less than 1% of the 1% from the U.S.).
The vast majority of ocean plastic pollution comes from discarded fishing nets (46%), industrial waste, and improperly disposed single-use plastics (bottles, bags, packaging).
Banning straws barely moves the needle but became a political and social trend because it’s an easy-to-target symbol of waste.

Wind and Solar Myth:

When you factor in production costs, maintenance, and lifecycle inefficiencies, large-scale solar and wind farms can be more expensive and less reliable than fossil fuels over the long run. Here’s why:

High Upfront Costs & Resource-Intensive Production

Solar panels and wind turbines require rare earth minerals, steel, concrete, and complex electronics that have high mining and refining costs.
Manufacturing solar panels (especially in China) relies heavily on coal-powered plants, ironically increasing emissions during production.
Wind turbines require vast amounts of land and large amounts of maintenance to remain operational.

High Maintenance & Shorter Lifespan

Solar panels degrade over time (typically 20-30 years), with efficiency dropping, requiring costly replacement.
Wind turbines break down frequently—gearboxes, blades, and bearings wear out quickly, with repairs often requiring cranes and specialized workers.
Disposal issues – Old turbine blades can’t be recycled and end up in landfills.

Energy Intermittency & Storage Problems

Solar and wind are unreliable because they depend on the weather.
Energy storage (e.g., lithium-ion batteries) is extremely expensive, requires more mining of rare minerals, and is inefficient at grid scale.
Fossil fuels (especially natural gas and nuclear) provide consistent baseload power, which renewables can’t match without massive subsidies.

Fossil Fuels Are Still Cheaper & More Efficient

Natural gas and clean coal plants last 50+ years, while wind and solar need frequent replacements.
The cost of fossil fuel infrastructure is already sunk, whereas renewables require continuous investment, subsidies, and grid overhauls.
The U.S. has abundant oil, gas, and coal, making it energy-independent, while solar and wind increase reliance on foreign supply chains (China dominates solar panel production and rare earth mining).

Final Verdict:

If subsidies were removed, fossil fuels (especially natural gas) would be far more cost-effective than wind and solar.
Nuclear energy is a much better alternative to fossil fuels if emissions are a concern—it’s reliable, efficient, and long-lasting without the intermittency issues of wind and solar.
The push for 100% renewables is largely ideological rather than practical. Renewables have a role in the mix, but they are not a true replacement for fossil fuels unless battery storage technology dramatically improves

Electric Car Myth:

EVs (electric vehicles) have serious hidden costs and issues that make them far less “green” than advertised.

The push for EVs is more about politics and control than genuine environmental benefits. Here’s why:

Battery Replacement Costs Make Used EVs Worthless

EV batteries degrade over time, losing efficiency within 8-12 years.
Replacement batteries cost $15K-$25K, often making it cheaper to buy a new car than replace the battery.
This means used EVs plummet in value, making them disposable junk—ironically, the opposite of “sustainability.”

EVs Still Depend on Fossil Fuels

The majority of EV charging comes from coal, natural gas, and diesel-powered grids.
Many charging stations in remote areas run on diesel generators, which defeats the purpose.
Electricity isn’t free—charging an EV can cost more than gas in some areas when factoring in peak rates.

Mining for EV Batteries is an Environmental Disaster

Lithium, cobalt, and nickel mining is destructive, exploitative, and energy-intensive.
Much of this mining occurs in China, Africa, and South America, where child labor and environmental destruction are rampant.
Mining and refining lithium requires huge amounts of water and creates toxic waste, sometimes more damaging than drilling for oil.

Charging Infrastructure is a Nightmare

EV charging takes 30 minutes to several hours, compared to a 5-minute gas fill-up.
Many public chargers are broken, unreliable, or occupied, leading to long wait times.
Cold weather significantly reduces battery range, making EVs unreliable in many parts of the country.

Governments are Forcing EVs by Killing Gas Cars

Instead of letting the market decide, governments are banning gas cars and pushing EV subsidies to force adoption.
This creates artificial demand, raising car prices and making it harder for middle-class Americans to afford vehicles.
EV mandates are less about saving the planet and more about controlling transportation and limiting personal freedom.

Gas Vehicles Are Proven, EVs Are Uncertain

Gasoline cars have been reliable for over 100 years, while EVs are still an experimental technology with unknown long-term risks.
In a crisis (Zombie Outbreak!), simplicity wins—older gas-powered vehicles can be repaired easily, while EVs require specialized tech that won’t be available in a collapse.

Final Verdict: EVs Are Overhyped and Not Ready

They are NOT “zero-emission”—they just shift emissions to power plants and mining operations.
They create massive waste—old EVs and batteries will become an environmental nightmare.
They’re impractical for most people—long charge times, battery degradation, and high costs make them inferior to gas cars.
If EVs were truly better, people wouldn’t need to be forced into them. The free market would make them dominant naturally.
If the Economy collapses or WW3, etc, EV’s may not survive. Gas can always be made at home.

The Petri dish:

Dr. Bruce Lipton demonstrated using a Petri dish containing biomass and a single bacterium. The bacterium replicated while consuming the biomass, continuing to multiply as long as resources were available. Even when 99% of the biomass was consumed, the bacteria still appeared to have enough food. However, at that stage, they rapidly starved and died, illustrating how exponential growth can lead to sudden collapse despite the illusion of abundance.

Overpopulation Politically Dangerous to Discuss

The left won’t touch it because it’s tied to race and immigration. (Anti China and India for instance)
The right won’t touch it because it’s tied to religion and economic growth. (go forth and multiply is arguably a mistranslation)
The global elite don’t want an open conversation—they want control, not solutions.

That’s why the media distracts with climate change, gender debates, and identity politics while ignoring the root issue: unsustainable population growth in certain regions combined with population collapse in others (like the U.S., Japan, and Europe).

Food:

The USA is a net exporter of food and can sustain up to 400 Million people. We have 320 million today.
The central Plains Aquifer is nearly 70% drained. That kills our food belt
Meat: We would need 4 Earths to produce enough meat if everyone ate as much as the USA

Water:

Southwest water crisis: New water cuts coming for Southwest as Colorado River falls into Tier 2 shortage
Oceans: Overfishing and the decline of sea life
Freshwater: fish species have declined by 76 percent in less than 50 years
Great Barrier Reef – dye off – Crown of Thorns growth out of control because of farmland fertilizer run of

Wild Life:

Wildlife Populations Worldwide Have Dropped 69% in 50 Years
Monarch butterflies are now on the endangered list…their population dropped 99.9% in 40 Years because of herbicides (trying to feed too many people!)

Pollution:

Micro-plastics are now everywhere on the planet
You may be eating a credit card of micro-plastic every week

Deforestation (overgrazing):

- Australia Deforested – 500 years ago, Australia was fully forested. The British naval empire deforested Australia to build its naval fleet of 646 ships….and it took about 6000 trees to build EACH wooden war ship
- Australia is facing environmental collapse – Pollution, mining, invasive species, and habitat loss are all contributing to an imminent environmental breakdown. Per the Guardian, nearly half the country is now used for livestock grazing, while logging and farming threaten much of the rest. Urban development has intensified in recent years, thus increasing pollution, waste, and stress on unstable water systems
Amazon Rain Forest is being depleted to make room for animal agriculture (see references to how this in unsustainable elsewhere on this page.
Arizona forests – Arizona was a forest 400 years ago
- Tucson Forest – Mt Lemon has a US Forestry plaque stating all the trees on the mountain top, were once on the valley floor just 100 years ago.
- “Steamboats of the Colorado River” book details the size of the Colorado and the “many rivers” in Arizona that are gone today. Many of which had salmon the length of a mans outstretched arms, and horses could not swim across without kicking their heals against them.
- Southern Arizona Oak Tree Forest: Copper Queen Mine in Southern Arizona has a 15′ diameter oak tree holding up the mine shaft that i personally have touched. It was cut down, along with all the other oak trees in southern Arizona, to help smelt the copper from the Bizbee and other mines like Jerome AZ etc. Pictures in Bizbee show it as a desert, after the deforestation already took place, as evident of the trees holding up the mines. All the “Oak Shrubs” in southern Arizona are the remaining roots of former Oak tree forest. Without enough rainfall (ended by cutting down the natural rain cycle when deforested), the roots can’t recapture their formal tree glory.
- Baja California Forest: Mexicans will tell you, that the gringos cut down all the trees along Baja in order to power the steam boats running to the colonies, before railroads had been constructed.
Great Britain was once 100% forested, but In the middle of the sixteenth century Britain began to run out of wood (Building British royal fleet). By 1700 it had converted almost completely to coal.
Greenland lost 95% of of its forests because of the arrival on humans. It used to be 40% covered, now 2%.
Greece once had trees. It seems the expansion of Rome into an international empire was a key factor in the deforestation of large parts of the Mediterranean.
The middle East- During the Crusades of the eleventh century through the thirteenth century, extensive pine forests stretched between Jerusalem and Bethlehem, and some parts of Lebanon had cedar-dominated forests into the nineteenth century.
- Few people know that pine and cedar forests once carpeted wide sections of the region, and that the area teemed with large wildlife.

Strained Resources:

The 26,000-year-old Pando tree (Aspen Tree forest) is dying due to overgrazing by animal husbandry /cattle.
France running out of mustard (ok funny, but still makes a valid point
Charcoal needs are devastating jungles as much as

Permaculture Hope:

Food Protein is created from thin air using only electricity
Permaculture can and has rebuilt the dryest of deserts into green forests.
As simple as planting trees
Transpiration: Planting more trees brings rain because plants transpire Transpiration is a process by which aerial parts of the plants lose water as water vapor during photosynthesis. this water is added to the normal moisture of the air thus making the air saturated faster and bringing rain.

Depopulation is the Real Crisis:

Majority of countries are below the replacement rate (2.1 children per woman):
- Japan: ~1.3
- South Korea: ~0.7 (Lowest in history!)
- China: ~1.0 (Declining rapidly)
- U.S.: ~1.6 (Below replacement)
- Most of Europe: ~1.4
This translates to shrinking populations, fewer workers, and economic collapse.
Overpopulation was always a fear-mongering tactic—global birth rates are dropping fast.
Countries that fail to reverse depopulation will collapse economically.
The media and elites push overpopulation lies while secretly fearing the real problem—civilization needs more strong, capable people, not fewer.

This is why strong families, self-sufficiency, and traditional values matter—because the people who embrace them will survive, while societies that reject them will fade away.

False Claims -

The Claim:
Beavers Destroy Environment:

Many people grew up with cartoons portraying beavers as pests that ruin streams by blocking water flow. Historically, beavers were also hunted nearly to extinction under the belief that their presence was not ecologically significant.

In reality, beavers once thrived in massive numbers—New York City alone had nearly countless beavers before urbanization decimated their population. Today, NY is reintroducing beavers to help restore ecosystems.

Reality: Beavers Improve Environment:

Beavers increase the water table, and increase habits for fish and other wild live. There are many countries around the world realizing this, and turning deserts bank into lush riparian zones.

The Claim:

Wolves are a threat and dangerous!

Many people believe wolves are a major threat to large animals and even humans. However, 90% of a wolf’s diet consists of rodents and other small prey. They rarely hunt large animals unless necessary.

Reality Check:

Yellowstone Park was almost a desert without wolves:

The removal of wolves from Yellowstone National Park led to ecological collapse. Without wolves., moose populations exploded, leading to overgrazing of streamside vegetation. This destroyed vital plant life, leaving beavers without materials for their dams. With no beavers, streams dried up, accelerating desertification.

Reintroducing wolves restored the balance—keeping moose populations in check, allowing vegetation to regrow, bringing back beavers, and ultimately revitalizing Yellowstone’s waterways and ecosystems.

False Claim:

Overpopulation isn’t real,
you can fit everyone on the planet in a 50 square mile space.

Only 3% of water is suitable for human consumption. Most of which is used for animal agriculture. If people become vegetarians, we would have 14 times more food if we focsed on human consumable food vs animal feed.

The Reality:

The average person needs 2.67 acres of land per year for food production.

8 billion people on Earth by 2022:
8B × 2.67 acres = 21.36 billion acres needed.

Earth has 196.9 million square miles of total land.
38% is farmable → 7.486 million square miles.
1 square mile = 640 acres, so farmable land = 4.79 billion acres.

21.36B acres needed vs. 4.79B acres available → More than four times the available farmland.

Note: This assumes everyone eats as much meat as Americans. If global meat consumption were lower, land needs would be closer to 2 planets instead of 4.

So, “4 planets” is mathematically correct under American consumption rates, it’s not universal—it depends on dietary habits. But the core argument holds: the American-style diet isn’t globally scalable with current farmland.
