And speaking of bubbles…
In 1999 the world population hit 6 billion people. This month we hit 7 billion. They say mankind has only been around for a blink of the eye when when one stands back to view the history of the world, yet that’s still thousands of years. But even more stunning is that this species that has now colonized almost every corner of the planet, and raped and pillaged the natural world, has grown by over 16% in just the last 12 years.
If that’s not a bubble ready to pop then I don’t know what is. But hey, worrying about overpopulation is so old fashioned, so 60′s, so boring. Who cares? Well, the truth is it’s at the root of every problem we face today so it’s a good news bad news conundrum. You might think that’s flippant, but think about it. Take the perspective of just about any living creature on earth and ask how they would feel about a sudden collapse of our species worldwide. Imagine being bonobo ape clinging desperately to life in the deepest most remote jungle in Africa, hunted for your meat, your society decimated and under attack from every direction, your species on the verge of extinction… how would you feel?
