Ask exploding heads

I think the earth can support many times it's currently population. However; we need to build infrastructure for that to happen. We can build cities under the ocean, we could even farm underwater and that would be easier and cheaper than building a colony on mars. There is a ton of untapped energy on earth. The Sahara Desert alone gets enough sunlight to power every household in the world. It's just a matter of transporting and storing that energy.

People could live underground and harnes the geothermal energy of the earth.

While we are doing these things we can attempt to start colonies on mars and in the clouds of Venus.

Its not. Before oil, Britain had cut down all its trees for industry. At that point, they were toast, due to no energy

I would think roughly that kind of situation for the world would be the limit, but with current fuels - natural gas, coal etc, you have at least a couple hundred years before we need to worry about managing fuel to feed us

There is also enough arable land and water, it just is not managed well and allowed to desertify or tapped out local reservoirs without replenishing from rivers or desalination

Almost 50% of China's water is unusable according to some reports. They still manage their giant population, however inefficiently

No, Russia is empty.

If so…… then why should we be sending aid to third world countries so they can barely survive, keep multiplying

I think aid in these regions should come with sterilization. Not hidden or deceitful, just "we'll only help you if you agree to stop breeding". If they don't wanna, it's incentive to get their shit together.

I understand its a distribution problem. Everyone wants to sell their food where the prices are higher, so they ship it to the US, and they throw it in the garbage. Meanwhile in the third world, they get sent bags of rice for free and the military takes it.

No, the world would need to be much much more populated before we would need to worry about the numbers. Yes, there might be some mismanagement of the food in some countries which causes inflation, or corruption in some African countries which kill people but that isn't overpopulation.

As far as fuels go I don't think we should worry about them at all. I would assume that for the next ~1000 years there will be enough fuel for all. Until then we would have found a much better ways of generating and storing energy.

No. You could fit the entire human population (8 billion) into Texas and each person would still have 925 square feet (86 square meters) to themselves.

The goal is to build the dependent class.

I did some math, and if we want to keep having the quality of life we have and we want to go with "green technologies" and stop using fossil fuels, we can't have as many people on the planet. Simple as.

If people care so deeply that they want to "STOP OIL NOW" then a lot of people all around the world will have to die, and a lot of the poorest nations will be hit hardest, and we shouldn't be importing people from low energy use jurisdictions to high energy use jurisdictions.

Basically, going fully green isn't of any benefit to the progressive project.
