It is very simple; the people in the developed world eat too much and use too much fossil fuel energy. This is creating rapid climate change and food shortages through droughts and flooding. Many more people than normal are going hungry in the world while much of the developed world is over fed and close to obesity. Further there amount of people in the owlrd is placing stress on the planet and its resources.
Therefore three simple steps are needed:-
- People in the developed world should cut their intake of food by about 25%. They will be leaner, fitter and healthier and the resulting lack of demand of food will send food prices down, enabling food to be cheaper for the hungry.
- People in the developed world should cut their use of fossil fuel energy by 65%. This would mean a reduction in carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gas emissions by nearly 50%, which is about the level of carbon dioxide that the planet can recycle and which would, over a number of years, (may be twenty or thirty) bring an end to anthropogenic climate change.
- Reduce the world’s population. This is easier said than done, notwithstanding humanity’s propensity for killing each other in wars.
As far as our planet is concerned less is always better than more. In particular fewer humans on the planet would be beneficial to all life forms, including humanity.
Taking these steps will not completely solve the problem of third world hunger or rapid climate change but it will go a long way to solving these problems. However, it is possible that we may be incapable or unwilling to take these steps.

A laymans peer review as he saw it happen and an elderado and self model in situ.
Most plants sequester Co2 via the soil mostly, this is why any organic system can survive indefianately from its own cyclical waste, IE leaf and seasonal matter etc.
Our vedge plot is modified as an intensive and only needs replenishing with new organic matter every 20 years or so, interim we use only compost of our own making or green manure via the Indo/wood charcoal/no dig method, the decomposition of green matter produces the much needed Co2 the plants need where it matter, underground where it is readily absorbed by the plants within the first few inches…Our plot produces three fold to that of a modern farm which has to apply copious levels of nitrate and chemical which slowly but surely destroys the microbes needed for microbiological breakdown thus no Co2 can be recycled as narure intended.
Modern mastication is murder of a system under constant monocultural attack and will eventually and rapidly decline on its current path.
To see the magic of elderado in action find yourself a Drager sniffer like mine and do the Co2 test for yourself and learn how nature works for us if we simply let her.
We will soon be under the Demographic Entrapment umberella using our current false food feeding program FFFP for short as long as the corporations monopolise food and seed, every mouth full of their chemical fancies will be the never ending misery of mankind, long before we even notice health related problems vis digesting the non toxic gas to humans and a plants best freind.
Adrian Vance has tried to explain these simple facts to us, facts that gardeners and gatherers have know for millenia, but the distractions and vested sciences are in our hair.
There are clues however of how to do things right but profit will kill the fat cats and their kittens too eventually, they know this but have an ever lasting illness and prepare for the inevitable as I touch this android.
The system is using mine and your fears to distract us from reality, using our braun and brains against us for a gain of survival unsane to how nature is constantly weeping for the whole.
Less taken from nature is more, if more people did more for themselves outside the little boxes that all look the same from inside.
In this world and all there is science is everything we need to survive without destroying any of it, we have simply been expertly steered and conditioned to forget how to do things properly and what is right for their whole.
Its all in the words, to question is how we grow, so many unanswered questions.

Is nobody else asking them.
Some call the population problem you mention
“Demographic Entrapment” here is a genuine problem of the population at any given time in human history which was and still is mostly created by climate and today by commodity ellement versus greed, in such past climbs up to 25% of the population suffered even though there was food elsewhere to be obtained.
Many thesis on this subject have been written, one Maurice King of Leeds univercity is a leading expert and bases his studies on an African model, but overall we now have a global outreach run hy corporate interests which is creating a manufactured problem in the name of economic growth for their largess.
It is my own study into population or depopulation that this scenario is also being manufactured along with many other similar traights.
The population in Europe is actually in decline since the early 80′s by design and the way technologies have enabled our women to become more independant and rightly so.
So it takes us back to the UN’s own Agenda 21 study and paper being brough upon foot and a starvation upon a society reliant upon debt and things made in eyes other than their own, and a manufactured decline of the western way of life as to stem the overall increase of native births in any given paradigm and we can see by their projected population charts of a major decline between 2040 and 2050 that is working.
It has already been made to happen, by the way we use modern models of slavery and money based paradigms.
Also check out the depopulation kings and queens of yester year like Muarice Strong, Margaret Sanger, Melinda Gates, Unesco’s Co founder Huxley and many more populous free thinkers for a wider picture of thesis, also follow the funding ellements and freinds and you should see the jouney for the proles amongst us, who chase their money.
Amd not wanting to be pedantic Robert, it wouls be helpful if one could add the relevant information to back up the planets alloted carbon take up levels, peer reviewed if possible.
20% a problematic ellement and 80% wanton ofwhat that 20% have managed to steal from them, normally buy force over millenia, and the same force now trying to force their issue and lies of over population.
An institutionalised outlook donning the wrong jacket in more than many ways of a justifiable answer.
Here is a man in his early years trying to tell it like it is still today.
For those who have yet to see this speach and happen upon this, enjoy, and know the whole knows your worthiness.
Never mind all the peer reviewed reports, it is quite simple really. The fact is that atmospheric carbon dioxide has risen fats and measurably and measurements at Mauna Loa show, with atmospheric CO2 rising from 310ppm in 1960 to 398ppm today. Clear proof that the plant cannot sequestrate all the CO2 that is being created today, otherwise the atmospheric levels would be constant. Robert
I am in full agreement with you on many points raised here Robert, infact we here can beat your 65% figure of sustainability, made possible with the skills in hands.
Meet the man who was and his ways
http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jean_Pain
Here is an existing paper of how the UN’s policy 21 might pan out, much of what it has proposed is already happening, but, the poorer ellements in reciept of a justified existence are becoming poorer in order of things being brought on foot by their hostile takedown of the western ways of life as we have come to understand them.
There are sustainable ways and some are following their lead but they are not being allowed to flourish as one might want to.
While your outlook has meaning and feelings Robert, the ways in which things are being instegated simply will not work, not even by giving the ruling debt based paradigm a push in either direction.
It is already too late for that model, one I might add the current climate bill and money paradigm encouraged in the first place, one cannot have it both ways I’m afraid.
A long read but relevant to what is happening today.

These essays all lead back to the same concusions, we the people are the “Commodity” most worthy of their labours and the ones forever in one ruling vouges and rouges reach through rulings patently riduculous outside of true nature.
If those people were truly free and their labours their own thw money would’nt be needed to be loaned, it would be truly own by those who’s labours were their own. Without exception or interest upon their souls.
