[quote:Anonymous Coward 32799984:MV8yMTE3NjI4XzM1NzEyMzI1X0Q2MzhBODdG] I don't know what the Welfare system's like in the US, but in the UK the more kids they have the more money they get, the bigger the freeby house etc. Just now the maternity units there are failing - there's been a huge jump in the birthrate between 22% in London and 63% in Corby (also big jump in immigrant numbers in Corby - coincidence?). If they restricted welfare payments to two kids I bet the birthrate would fall straight away. [/quote]
Original Message
David Attenborough has described humans as a "plague on Earth" that need to slow down breeding to stop the world's population being reduced by more brutal means. Speaking to the Radio Times, the beloved naturalist said the impact of the rapidly increasing population "will come home to roost over the next 50 years or so."
Finding food for the human 'hordes' is as just big a threat to survival as global warming, he said. “It’s not just climate change; it’s sheer space, places to grow food for this enormous horde," he told the magazine. “Either we limit our population growth or the natural world will do it for us. The natural world is doing it for us right now.
