Professor wants to reduce human population by

A professor at the University of California recently gave a middle school presentation in which he claimed the earth has “too many people” and proposed a reduction of the population through “vegetarianism” and “controlling human fertility.”

Professor Richard Cardullo, a professor of biology at the University of California – Riverside (UCR), told a group of seventh grade students that the environment’s well-being was in jeopardy “if we don’t do anything about population.”

“If we want to decrease our population, we can do it through any number of ways,” he said.

Most of the energy needs to be focused on areas that have a population rate of 4-7 children per family. Middle east, Africa and central Asia.

We need to do this by giving these people books and education. Making them not want to have 10 children apiece. Right? It really doesn't make sense to focus on area's that are having 1-2 children a piece as you're just destroying the educated area's anyways.

Interesting topic but "overpopulation' has been a scientific concern for almost 200 years. Perhaps some of the readers here are familiar with Thomas Malthus, an 18th/19th Century economist whose name is associated with dire predictions related to overpopulation.

"Noting that while food production tends to increase arithmetically, population tends to increase naturally at a (faster) geometric rate, Malthus argued that it is no surprise that people thus choose to reduce (or “check”) population growth. People can increase food production, Malthus thought, only by slow, difficult methods such as reclaiming unused land or intensive farming; but they can check population growth more effectively by marrying late, using contraceptives, emigrating, or, in more extreme circumstances, resorting to reduced health care, tolerating vicious social diseases or impoverished living conditions, warfare, or even infanticide.

Scientists historically support eugenics, genocide and population control.

Big deal. They are prone to be even more twisted than the garden variety death cultist.

Then eventually there would be no Africans. Or Asians. I guess the conservatives would like that, though.

You guess wrong.

i am probably right but conservatives won't ever admit they see black people as less than human.

I passed out rep just to neg your ignorant ass once more.

Are you trying to beat lakotah for second place from the bottom?
