July 11 is now the day each year when the United Nations tries to bring attention to the importance of population issues.
So where is it growing fastest and will it ever slow down? We’ve taken a look at a few of the numbers.

    planet can hold probably 50 billion. We would have to change how much food we consume, how we set up our living standards/infastructure and how we house this population. We need to start changing fast to cope with this almost never ending population growth. while nearly half the worlds fertility rates are collapsing africa, parts of the mid east and some countries in central asia and south east asia are still having rapid population growth.

    So things are not that bad then. According to utilitarian philosophy only two or three billionaires need to die for the greater good to make up for the strain on resources.

    This has been predicted for decades. Nothing changes. Human beings are the most verminous species on earth. The earth will survive, human beings won't

Ukraine pleads for German tanks ahead of defence talks – BBC News

Published

on



President Volodymr Zelensky has appealed to Germany to supply Ukraine with tanks, as leaders meet to discuss further aid.

Defence leaders from a number of Nato members are meeting at the US air base in Ramstein, Germany to discuss sending further aid ahead of an anticipated Spring offensive by Russia.

Germany is under increasing pressure from other countries to supply its Leopard 2 tanks to Ukraine, as the UK prepares to send a dozen Challenger 2 tanks.

“If you have Leopard [tanks], then give them to us, these leopards won’t go through Russia. We’re defending ourselves.”, he told public TV in Germany.
