Für die erste Milliarde brauchte die Menschheit Hunderttausende Jahre. Dann ging es immer schneller. Wohl ab morgen leben acht Milliarden Menschen auf der Erde. Ein Ende des Wachstums ist vorerst nicht in Sicht.

We’ve worried about overpopulation for centuries. And we’ve always been wrong.
Stanford biologist Paul Ehrlich wrote in his best-selling 1968 book The Population Bomb, “In the 1970’s, hundreds of millions of people will starve to death” because of overpopulation. (Later editions modified the sentence to read “In the 1980’s.”)
None of that ever came to pass.
Human overpopulation
Human overpopulation (or population overshoot) is when there are too many people for the environment to sustain (with food, drinkable water, breathable air, etc.). In more scientific terms, there is overshoot when the ecological footprint of a human population in a geographical area exceeds that place‘s carrying capacity, damaging the environment faster than nature can repair it, potentially leading to an ecological and societal collapse. Overpopulation could apply to the population of a specific region, or to world population as a whole.
Fascists‘ Terrifying Solution to the Climate Crisis
At the same time, the combination of racist ideology and fear of environmental destruction is particularly volatile and dangerous, because it stirs primal fears that haunt many on our warming planet, especially young people in the West.

The Epstein Case: What Ever Happened to the Mysterious Nobel Prize Sperm Bank?
Wait — what?

It was founded by the multimillionaire optometrist and inventor Robert Graham, an admirer of eugenics who believed the human race was getting progressively dumber and that the only way to stop it was by filling the world with the genetic descendants of Nobel Prize winners.
Jeffrey Epstein Hoped to Seed Human Race With His DNA
Mr. Epstein’s vision reflected his longstanding fascination with what has become known as transhumanism: the science of improving the human population through technologies like genetic engineering and artificial intelligence. Critics have likened transhumanism to a modern-day version of eugenics, the discredited field of improving the human race through controlled breeding.

A bill in Washington state would allow the composting of human remains
The average burial, KIRO said, can cost between $8,000 and $25,000. Cremation can top $6,000. Spade said she hopes to charge about $5,500 for human composting.
One supporter for human composting, Leslie Christian, told KIRO it‘s an attractive from an environmental perspective. She said she told her brother, who reportedly said, „Oh great, you can plant tomatoes in me.“
