Happy Earth Overshoot Day, everyone!

[Nithavela]

Mankind marks a dubious milestone Thursday, the day by which humanity has consumed all earth can sustainably produce for this year, with NGOS warning the rest of 2022 will be lived in resource deficit.


The date -- dubbed "Earth Overshoot Day" -- marks a tipping point when people have used up "all that ecosystems can regenerate in one year", according to the Global Footprint Network and WWF.


"From January 1 to July 28, humanity has used as much from nature as the planet can renew in the entire year. That's why July 28 is Earth Overshoot Day," said Mathis Wackernagel, president of the Global Footprint Network.

I vote it the most depressing holiday. And we're set to exceed 8 billion people on the planet in November I believe. We need more pandemics and we need them now.

I am hoping for an increase in the number of people since the US Supreme Court outlawed the killing of unborn children.

Your thread title is better than the article title: Alarm as Earth Hits 'Overshoot Day' Thursday, Say NGOs

Not seeing much alarm really.

I find it hard to believe we have consumed all the earth can sustainably produce when my tomatoes, squash, zucchini, beans, peppers, corn, mellons, cucumbers, carrots, cabbage, and radishes are still growing/producing.

The demographic collapse and its fallout will take care of that soon enough.

The domestic supply of infants is a lagging indicator.

But it's junk we need. I even have a coupon to save money on junk I normally wouldn't buy.

Hopefully we can catch up on production.

Hopefully we can catch up on production.

The vital supply of domestic infants is going to need more help than just a paltry abortion ban to catch up but Clarance has put out a call for what is needed. I’m sure the right people will answer and sweep away all that is in the way.

We’re due an asteroid too!

Actually... they didn't.. All they did was pass the responsibility down to each state...

People need to get this right. In California.. they are trying to get full term abortion.. in others no abortions at all.. In some... not after there is a heart beat.

But... it has not been outlawed.

Actually, the estimated carrying capacity of the earth... is between 10 and 13 billion.

And... if it keeps warming there will be more land in the north to grow more food.. But.. that's a fable anyway.

Add to this that most countries are seeing a decrease in population growth...

In the end.. God is in control.. and.. the way the world is going now... the last days are here.

Overpopulation and man made climate change is not anything to be concerned about.
