Surprising Population Analysis

Recently I discovered something that I feel is a massive game changing discovery. I'm posting a video that is set at the time where an Australian biologist presents a finding he made regarding human population. In it he describes how he set up parameters to model all of the trends related human growth and fertility, etc. in order to model what would happen were we to have a worldwide one child policy. In it he finds that given historical trends, in 90 years we would still have the same number of people on earth as we have today!

I also recently had a correspondence with Paul Ehrlich, which was very fulfilling, if not depressing as I discovered he has the same degree of anxiety as I regarding the situation revolving around finding ways to change the behavior of people in order to turn our environmental situation around. This is the task that ultimately we are faced with accomplishing. I say this since we know that humans are a retroactive species. Until now we have only had to concern ourselves with survival from the environment. However, now we are in a fight against ourselves. I'm also seeing that denial is playing a massive role not just in those who actively deny knowledge, but in those who are fully aware and yet who choose not to take responsibility. The problem we are facing is one of personal responsibility, and the reason why it is considered "inconvenient".

Since much of our behavior will not change, population is the only way out of this crisis. At first I thought that changing population was now an impossibility, and all we had at our disposal is engineering. Of course it's both. But not really. What I mean is that if we are to, for example, have anesthetics with dental work, then we must have everything that supports it: transportation, manufacturing, and all of the peripheral things like bearings, gears, glass, rubber, mining... You don't get a break if you're going to live in a modern way. It's either modern living with a smaller population that doesn't have the dire consequences, or have what we have now- melting ice sheets and a myriad of disasters.

Take a look at the video, as there are a few more revelations that are not intuitive. Population is a very inconvenient topic of discussion, but since it is at the very foundation of all of the issues we're facing, it must be addressed. We're truly running out of time to start turning this around. Look at every issue you see on this forum and ask if population had a major part in it.

The key points are that we cannot simply rely on engineering alone. AND we are literally in an emergency situation that demands action on all fronts right now.
