“Massive population correction”
Professor William Rees, of the University of British Columbia, in Canada, known for coming up with the concept of “ecological footprint” of human actions, talks about a “massive population correction”.
Only a certain number of animals can live in a given environment.
In his paper published in the journal ‘World’, he points out that many models have been developed over the years that show that only a certain number of animals can live in a given environment: they all show that at some point, a population correction occurs.
War, famine, habitat instability, disease.
Rees suggests that all of this is leading planet Earth to a “drastic reduction in human population”, perhaps before the end of this century, through war, famine, habitat instability, disease or a combination of these factors.
We have the scientific knowledge but an ignorant population.
“While there's a glimmer of hope, it's worth working to solve the problem. We have the scientific knowledge to do it but we don't have the political will,” Boyden said.
