We humans are, of course, capable of making it so.

I'd rather we didn't.

I'm fairly certain we have all the tools we need to halt human population growth and support earth's current population indefinitely. We simply have to apply them.

Unfortunately various religions and ideologies stand in our way. It's not all right wing vs. left wing either. I see some of these interfering religions and ideologies posted without challenge here on DU as gospel.

My politics are always practical so I don't tend to call out Democratic allies. Unfortunately anti-intellectualism is not an exclusive domain of the Republican Party.
