Environment & Energy

The population of the planet may fall for two reasons, one by catastrophe, which is looking more and more likely, the other by reduced birth rates, which, as the young people we screwed by having stupid fantasies about, among other things, "green hydrogen," are increasingly afraid to have children. Both are operable on a small scale right now.

Whenever I hear about reducing the population as a solution to the ongoing environmental disaster - which may do that, reduce the population, for us, shrugging us off like an overgrowth of bacteria on shit - I kind of wonder why the person suggesting it is unwilling to commit suicide to be "green." It always seems to me that the suggested claim refers to "other people, not me."

There are countries with negative replacement rates, China, Japan and Finland. Without immigration, it would include the United States. It's far too late for that to matter, however, just as it is to drill the fuck out of the planet in a idiotic search for "White Hydrogen." We've been drilling the shit out of the planet for well over a century. If there was a lot of "white hydrogen" there, how come we never saw it?
