Analysis: Population & Food Supply: ‘When there is little, or none, people cannot afford the calories to breed. When there is enough, they can and do. When there is too much…[food] they can’t be bothered to breed’
https://wmbriggs.substack.com/p/a-reason-the-birthrate-is-so-low A Reason The Birthrate Is So Low: Food By William M Briggs In the 1970s the fear—there is always fear, much of it imaginary or exaggerated—was mass starvation. There were soon, they said, to be too many people, which would lead to disastrous pressure on the food supply, and we’d run out. Some said […]
Flashback 1989: Prominent environmentalist predicted world was on the brink of an ‘environmental Pearl Harbor — a global food shortage that could starve millions’ – Reality Check: FAIL
36 years ago today, Lester Brown's now-defunct @Worldwatch Institute predicted the world was on the brink of an "environmental Pearl Harbor — a global food shortage that could starve millions." Reality: Since 1990, global food production has doubled (on less land!) and global… pic.twitter.com/ZN4fRMZPkL — Steve Milloy (@JunkScience) March 22, 2025
NRDC: ‘Average human exhales about 2.3 pounds of carbon dioxide on an average day’ – Human ‘exhale almost three billion tons of carbon dioxide annually’
NRDC: The average human exhales about 2.3 pounds of carbon dioxide on an average day. (The exact quantity depends on your activity level—a person engaged in vigorous exercise produces up to eight times as much CO2 as his sedentary brethren.) Take this number and multiply by a population of 7 billion people, breathing away for 365.25 days per year, and you get an annual CO2 output of 2.94 billion tons. International carbon dioxide emissions from fossil-fuel combustion for 2008 topped 34.7 billion tons. So the human race breathes out about 8.5 percent as much carbon as we burn.
Experts are quick to point out that this figure is meaningless, since human respiration is part of a “closed loop cycle” in which our carbon dioxide output is matched by the carbon dioxide taken in by the wheat, corn, celery, and Ugli fruit that we eat. …
The amount of carbon that a human breathes out is exactly equal to the amount of carbon he takes in minus the amount of carbon that contributes to the person’s body mass. This means that the human body—like all animals—is a very modest carbon-sequestration device.

South Carolina’s population growth creates ‘climate crisis’, says environmental scientist – ‘We face an issue of how human beings are going to live when there are 330 million of us in this country’ We can’t keep doing that. It is unsustainable. You’re robbing Peter to pay Paul.’
https://abcnews4.com/news/local/south-carolinas-population-growth-creates-climate-crisis-says-environmental-scientist-enviornment-wciv-abc-news-4-2024 CHARLESTON, S.C.
