Malthus’s arguments were part of the inspiration for Charles Darwin’s theory of evolution, and they have validity in the natural world. On the savannah, in the rainforests, and across the tundra, animal populations explode when times are good, and crash when food reserves are exhausted. Is homo sapiens an exception?

A typical piece of feebled- minded insinuation and mendacity from the conscience of the British nation. No one disputes that population falls when there is insufficient food to maintain it. What Malthus argued is that rising population automatically, necessarily leads to food shortage and can only be overcome by decreasing population. Are we going to starve because there are 6 billion of us  or because of soil depletion, bio-fuels production, ruination of farmers, land left uncultivated, massive empty latifundia and disappearance of pollinators? With this shit hitting the editorials of the  liberal press there can be no doubt that the war on humanity has begun in earnest.

Next week the Optimum Population Trust will hold a conference at the Royal Statistical Society, arguing that the planet has room for 5 billion people at the most, and that the United Kingdom should be home to no more than about 18 million.
