Global population – where it is heading over the next 25 years and what the genocide would need to be if targets of halving it to 4 billion eventuate
Lots of chatter in the “woke” media about what a sustainable global population should be.
For example, the Scientific American had these recent op-eds:
Eight Billion People in the World Is a Crisis, Not an Achievement - Scientific American
Population Decline Will Change the World for the Better - Scientific American
And there is this from a member of Schwab’s WEF:
WEF Member Calls for 86% Reduction in World's Population - Slay News
Pretty ominous, right? My first reaction is “you first”, but let’s dive in to some numbers.
A previous post showed that the 2022 calendar year birth rate was around 1.69%, the death rate was around 0.85%, leaving a net growth in population of around 0.85%.
Applying that population growth rate to the world’s current 8 billion population would result in a future world population of close to 10 billion in 25 years.
Note we do not yet know the impacts of injecting around 2/3rds of the world’s population with C19 injections in what is, after all, a global experiment in gene modification using toxic delivery systems further tainted with DNA and bacteria, from shoddy manufacturing processes. Maybe birth rates will continue their accelerate rate of decline and maybe mortality rates will increase from the elevated levels of the last 3 years.
It may be that a huge (25%?) number of injected women have been rendered unable to come to term with a healthy baby and that a huge (25%?) number of men are now incapable of “delivering” healthy sperm.
In my view, provided the insane Green movement is removed from any policy decisions, coping with population growth of 1% per annum, given mankind’s gift for problem solving, is not even worthy of considering an issue. In fact, with smarter leadership, the plight of the bottom half of the world’s population (as measured by western living standards) is easily attainable, if we could just get rid of the corruption of the emerging fascist state that combines big pharma, the MIC and politicians!
Perhaps increasing the level of CO2 by 1-2% per annum would yield an increase in the volume of grains produced and a concomitant increase in the size of livestock. My goodness, did I just commit heresy against the “cult of green”?
So, at current rates, 10 billion in 25 years. I wonder what the level of C02 would need to be to support that. We have 400 parts per million for 8 billion people, maybe 500 parts would be enough. Not that the chicken little eco warriors in the UN IPCC and their “green” (p)syc(h)ophants would tolerate that of course – they would prefer that kids wear masks that result in 5,000 parts per million of CO2!
Let’s leave aside the ludicrous statement of the Dennis Meadows for a sustainable population that takes us back to 1804 of 1 billion. I suspect his views are racist in that his number happens to coincide with the population of Europe, the US, Canada, the UK and Australia/NZ. Even if it is not based in racism, the number could only be achieved by nominated family members all over the world killing 7 out of 8 of their nearest and dearest, because “population crisis”.
Let’s work with an equally ludicrous drop in population to 4 billion over 25 years. The world passed the 4 billion mark in 1974.
Coincidentally, a little over half the world’s population lives in cities – there is more than 4 billion right there to .. umm.. control out of existence!
Using a birth rate of 1.25% instead of the 2022 birth rate of 1.69% and a death rate of 4% instead of the 2022 death rate of 0.85% - we can come to a figure of 4 billion after 25 years. Though what will cause it to stay there needs to be considered!
To put it in hard numbers, reduce the rates of birth from 135.5 million a year today, to 51 million a year in year 25 and increase the rates of death from 68 million a year today, to 164 million a year in year 25 and you can arrive at a closing global population of 4 billion.
You can do a “push me, pull you” to vary the changes in rates of birth and death, target population and end date.
Out of interest, here are some big picture numbers.
Global total surface area = around 500 million sq. km, of which 132 million sq. km is land.
Of that 132 million sq. km of land, 10% is glaciated and 19% is barren, leaving 71% habitable.
Barren = deserts, dry salt flats, beaches, sand dunes, and exposed rocks.
Forest area - Our World in Data
Of this 71%, 38% is forest. Now you can live in trees but let’s go with a calculation for unforested habitable land.
132 million sq. km of land times 71% habitable = 93.7 million sq. km of habitable land times 62% not forest = 58 million sq. km of unforested habitable land.
How much of that is occupied by humans?
Well according to this meerkat
How much land on Earth is inhabited? | Curious Meerkat
“Artificial surfaces include any areas that have an artificial cover as a result of human activities such as construction (cities, towns, transportation), extraction (open mines and quarries) or waste disposal. This figure gives us an estimate of roughly 900,000 km 2 of human-covered land worldwide.”
Less than a million sq. km out of 58 million sq. km.
My, my – somebody better tell the chicken littles!
Here’s a few images – by night and by day - of the world’s most densely populated principality – Monaco. It has 19,000 people per each of its two sq. km – not a great example of overpopulation as it is probably empty of the rich and famous (and non-Grand Prix goers) for nine months of the year.
And lastly some facts about another densely populated country – Bangladesh. It has a population of 160 million and a population density of 1,100 people per sq. km.
Not that it is a shining example of what to aim for, but just think, that would be the equivalent of 58 million times 1,100 people = SIXTY FOUR BILLION on the planet “Bangladesh style”. Maybe just a sixth (10 billion) to an eighth (8 billion) of that is not such a high number.
I wonder how many functions currently performed by humans with their physical labour will have been replaced by organoids in the next 25 years.
Onwards!

Eugenics is alive and well in the 21st century and they are on track to meet these dreadful targets.
Oh! So now with seven and a half billion we've got to suddenly worry about a secretly planned sharp decrease in the world population even as every governmental numbskull screams 'We need more young!'.
