@owgf.org Unfortunately, #civilisation is doomed in any event. If #climate change was the ONLY problem, it MIGHT be salvageable, but it's only one problem of many, including, e.g., the #biodiversity crisis, #overpopulation & the grotesque #economic #inequality between countries & individuals. There is also instability arising from #ethnic, #national & #religious conflicts. The term that gets used is #Polycrisis, & #collapse can't be averted.
Uno studio su Science dice che entro il 2100 potremmo arrivare a 10 miliardi. Siamo troppi per un pianeta così fragile. Non fare figli oggi è un atto di responsabilità 
A study in Science says we could reach 10 billion by 2100. Too many for such a fragile planet. Not having kids today is an act of responsibility

Rethinking #overpopulation: why Malthus was wrong about global resources?
On #WorldPopulationDay, it’s worth rethinking the idea of overpopulation. The issue isn't the number of people - it's how our systems manage #resources and inequality.

WATERLOO REGION RELOCATES GEESE TO KINGSVILLE
The City of Waterloo is working to address the overpopulation of geese in Waterloo Park by relocating them to a new home.
On June 10, 2025, a flock of over 200 Canada geese was transferred from Waterloo Park and released at Jack Miner Bird Sanctuary in Kingsville, Ontario.
Staff from the city and the sanctuary worked together to gather the geese.
“I don’t think anybody would actually believe how smoothly it went. It was single file. These geese kind of just marched onto a trailer,” Robin Milne, Director of Parks, Forestry and Cemetery Services at the City of Waterloo, said.
The trip to their new home took approximately three hours. The city obtained a permit from the Canadian Wildlife Service prior to the relocation.
Milne said the decision to relocate the geese stemmed from a high number of complaints received about bird droppings.
Milne said the issue surrounding bird droppings became a bigger concern after the Waterloo Park shoreline was redeveloped.
“[With] the new shoreline redevelopment, the idea was to draw visitors to the shoreline,” Milne said. “With all the hard surfaces on the shoreline now, the geese droppings just got out of control, to the point where it was like walking through a minefield and we couldn’t stay on top of it.”
To combat the issue, the city rented specialized equipment to clean the concrete on a regular basis. The city also set up coyote decoys throughout the park to deter the geese; however, most of the decoys were stolen within 24 hours of being set up.
“Geese are not a problem specific to Waterloo or Waterloo Park or any urban centre across Southwestern Ontario. Geese can be a nuisance, and, in some areas, they can be managed,” Milne said.
“There’s no natural predators in the park, so the [goose] population just keeps growing and growing,” he said.
Though effective, Milne said the cleanup efforts were time consuming, costly and disruptive to patrons in the park.
When it became clear that the population of geese was beyond the park’s capacity, they engaged with the Jack Miner Bird Sanctuary to find an alternate solution.
The sanctuary has done relocation specifically to geese for several other municipalities in Southwestern Ontario. The sanctuary, which is funded through donations, feeds the geese and offers appropriate shelter and nesting grounds.
Experts at the sanctuary also offered guidance and a plan on how and when to collect geese eggs and relocate the birds.
“In June, many geese can’t fly because they are molting or too young, making it the ideal time for relocation while keeping family groups and mated pairs together,” said a statement from the City of Waterloo.
Since the relocation, the park has approximately 25 geese remaining.
The city plans to continue monitoring the number of geese in the park throughout the summer. If the relocation is successful this year, Milne said the city will re-apply for the Canadian Wildlife Service permit and repeat the relocation initiative next year.
Peterborough City Council estimates that there are around 2,500 HMOs within the city as of May 2025. This is a significant increase from 1,410 in 2011

One of the most persistant myths about the survival of humanity is that of the overpopulation. The planet can not feed us all.
THIS IS NOT TRUE
Sure enough, humans as a species are quite dominating in the ecosphere. But the hunger is due to a more egocentric and horrifying reason: what 'we' eat and how 'we'distribute the food is the real culprit.
Not a wonder I got a agrivated reaction on a vegeburger video, by an American [US}.
Over population is an age old escuse to carry on as usual, to 'Eat my burger without the worry'.
This is very 'rich' coming from the richest [and fattest] country that became that way by exploiting their 'own' country and that of others. Sure you don't want to worry...
Please stop commenting with these cheap and very outdated claims on the climate.
I don't mind opposite comments at all, but do take care of validity of your arguments.

About the video: Is human overpopulation alarmist hype with disturbing consequences? Oxford data scientist Hannah Ritchie debunks the overpopulation myth.
A widespread concern with overpopulation became prominent in the 1960s and the 1970s, when scholars wondered how we could produce enough food for a rapidly growing global population. Brought to the fore with the publication of the book, "The Population Bomb," by Paul R. Ehrlich in 1968, it seemed that the only way to solve this problem was to discourage people from having more children.
This concern hinged on the assumption that the world population would continue to grow exponentially, but it hasn't. While the global population is still growing, in fact it's growing at a much slower rate, as global population growth rates peaked decades ago and have halved since then.
So is this concern completely unfounded? What can future population projections tell us? Data scientist Hannah Ritchie explains why."

That piece on ethics of immigration was an interesting read. I was going to post some thoughts there, but they ended up long, so I'll post them here instead:
In a finite world, this gets inevitably tangled in the politics of reproduction and overpopulation. Some seek to tactically out-reproduce as a way of politically dominating, or to fear that others will, but even more basically, if we ignore such factions and stick to sheer numbers: We can be fruitful and multiply only to a point in a finite world. At some point, multiplying isn't fruitful but exhausts all fruit.
And so when people move around in a sparse world, there there may be more capacity to absorb them than in a dense one, regardless of how you define words like sparse and dense and capacity. And, of course, density is distributed unevenly. Certain standards of living or ways of living will not support more than a certain number of people. So questions arise as to whether it's the right of a people or a region to have any such standard or way of living.
Without a theory of why people would taper off reproduction as the world becomes crowded, the politics of immigration becomes tethered to the politics of reproduction. Birth itself is a kind of immigration, and sometimes people who want to taper immigration seem to nonetheless want to encourage birth, without seeing or acknowledging that each of these increases population density and strain on finite resources. In an "empty" world, the risk is of having too few people, and both birth and immigration seem obvious opportunities to mitigate risk. In a "full" world, the risk is of having too many people, and both birth and immigration seem points of concern and opportunities for risk to attach.
Of course, density is not distributed evenly in the world, so these concepts apply differently in different places, but it simplifies discussion to keep things simple. To have a coherent ethics on this, one must know where one is in the empty/full spectrum. And, of course, all gets even more complicated if one realizes that people will inevitably overlay race, religion, wealth, or nationality, but the essential problems are best seen if you hold those at bay long enough to understand it is not really possible to ignore overpopulation as a core driver of the stress. In some sense, those other factors just create ways of magnifying, partitioning, and sadly scapegoating that stress.
Discussions of both reproduction and immigration are intrinsically difficult because they get quickly into issues of how we may fairly distribute finite resources in an ever more crowded world as cultures with very different and deeply held practices and expectations come ever more inevitably into contact and, too often, conflict with one another. Achieving any sense of fairness can be a nontrivial task because each is starting from a different place and there is often no commonly agreed starting point for what can be expected to be fixed and what must be up for negotiation. It probably have to start with everyone agreeing there's a real problem and that we all need to be equitably involved in a solution, but I sense there's a lot of denial on both of these points.

Asylum Seekers, are now costing the UK taxpayers nearly £80m a week! 
REALITY: "Many Tory voters feel the Conservative Party has strayed from its traditional values and failed to deliver on key promises, particularly regarding immigration and Brexit."
Economists say reindustrialising creates high-skilled jobs, boosts economic resilience, and secures our country's future - So why aren't the Labour party doing this
Job vacancies have fallen 
to the lowest level in nearly four years!
The employment rate for people aged 
16 to 64 
years is 75.1%, still below Labour's target of 80% employment
In world history, nobody has ever turned-around a collapsing empire
One way may be to start #ww3 and hope it turns out as well for the states as #ww2 did?
Maybe if the #usa had a cheap labor force like #china has… but #maga has turned those workers into criminals?
As China becomes the leading economy, it will have to deal with #globalwarming, #overpopulation, #pollution, and #massextinction… it’s going to need global solutions working together… which is not something #trump is known for

Every #billionaire who has ever screamed about over or under population. WERE THEMSELVES THE CAUSE!
Want more babies? Pay people more.
Want less babies? Increase #education especially for women, make #healthcare free, make family planning free.
Worried there are not enough resources and #climatechange is going to kill us? The top 1% produce 29% of all #greenhousegasses , the bottom billion produce 1%. Invest in science to create a green revolution.
They are sounding the alarm about problems they created and blaming the average individual with no power as being selfish.
