Interesting stats for Russia.. I would have expected that from Japan.

For the past 5-6 years, the Russian population has been growing. But they are yet to recover from the demographic catastrophe during the aftermath of the collapse of the USSR. On the other hand, the demographic situation in Japan is worsening.
Russia's population is growing only due to the influx of migrants from countries of the former USSR. As soon as the situation in their countries stabiliziruemost the population will decrease sharply. In addition, Russia's participation in the wars also worsens the situation.

That is an incorrect statement. In 2016, there were more births than deaths in Russia, unlike the situation in the other ex-USSR nations such as Ukraine and Moldova. The Russian population is growing naturally, as well as from immigration.

The pollution is a real problem. You should not shit where you eat.  Less intelligent animals understand this.  But somehow humans don't.

Another problem is that our population growth is not restrained.  Nothing on this planet can stop us from reproducing and exploiting the planet.

Even natural disasters do not stop us.  We rebuild and reproduce. We are like a plague that cannot be eradicated.

We need a new planet or things will snowball for us.





Wouldn't really go ahead and say that we don't understand the problems it may cause, I think the real issue is that generations keep passing more and more problems down to the next generation.

They think that it'll be someones problem who isn't them, plus they think that once it is uncovered all the problems that business and such caused in order to save money, the people who ordered these decisions will be long dead and they won't face any type of consequences.

New planet would be nice, I must say.


This is compounded by the fact that corporate entities routinely abuse the environment for profit, and are able to skirt regukation, totally ignore it all together, or just litigate their way out of it, becuase of the effects of aggressive lobbying in their respective industries. Our environment, our global environment, is being sacrificed jn the name of capitalism, and it's only going to get worse, because the current administration sees a lot of our environmental regulations as just a bunch of 'silly red tape'.

We are merrily going to hell in a hand basket, folks. Put on your helmets.

We always see people doing the three R's for mother earth the Reduce, Reuse and Recycle but does it really help in sustaining our planet.

Those three R's were made up by people that want your garbage for free so they can sell it for profit. Garbage is your property and you're invited everywhere to throw it away but you're not allowed to burn it on your property?

that stinks.
A lot of people specifically do not allow the incineration business for waste dumps. Very often pollute the environment is more profitable than to give someone the opportunity to clear.

That is why the world can't live without wars. It should be accepted. Now we are witnessing the beginning of world war III. Before it ended, of course, will survive, not all, but 1-2 generations of our descendants can live without war and in conditions of economic growth.

We always see people doing the three R's for mother earth the Reduce, Reuse and Recycle but does it really help in sustaining our planet. Much of the people doesn't really know the amounts of waste scattered all over the world making them not aware of the risk of simple litering in the streets. Scientifically there really an end in our planet, we  should all work together in making plans to make our planet sustainable for future generations.
The problem is we are so used to our lifestyles that most people don’t see the huge consequences it has on the planet, so the only thing that can stop this is a reduction in the human population since the earth has no way to sustain us all, but how that is going to be implemented? The most likely scenario is that something like what happened on china will happen all over the world.

The earth was perfect before the arrival of man. People came and destroyed the beauty of nature, themselves and others. The earth is polluted with landfills, nuclear waste and other debris of our civilization. Therefore, there are global catastrophes. Nature is tired of enduring that it is destroyed and it devours people.

People destroy the earth, but the thing is, destroying the earth, will also destroy them. Not all people are destroying them, but could not take care of it.

Man is the most dangerous parasite on Earth. Now do the ground fighting for their lives and either it will destroy some people, or people will destroy the earth. Disasters this is just the beginning of this struggle.

Simply, the main problem in this is the amount of improper dispoasal being processed were greater than proper dispoasl processed. Hence, it costs implications in terms of sustainability of the earth however we can regulate or control this breakdown. We can urge to initiate actions to make our word more comfortable. However, we can knly do that if we have restore ourselves first in order to have a proper discipline which is the only key to stop this conflict.

I agree. We  the humans are most responsible on what is happening on our planet. Uncontrollable population, abused of resources and environment etc. Earth without humans can thrive very well. Put man on the equation and he will manipulate all things LOL

Its not too late, we should have to be discipline and should take care our environment. Plant trees,used and harness renewable energy,educate our fellowmen to take care of mother nature etc.
I agree with you that it should be the ideal. But in fact each state has its own lobby that earns a lot of money on energy. They are not interested in the environment. Therefore, they do not want to introduce an alternative technology.

You cannot easily change the human nature.  We are hardwired to reproduce.

Even if you reduce the demand, by changing the human behavior, you'll still be faced with an exponential population growth.
That is the root of the problem.  More people equals less resources and more pollution. It is a matter of when not if.

We need a new planet.

The other day, I heard Lawrence Krauss talking about some 'not so secret' project he is involved in to design a ship that can travel at 20% of the speed of light.  He was not joking.

It seems to me that it's fiction. If such technologies are available they will immediately take the military and we hear about the existence of them on the basis of the latest weapons. While I have not heard.

Top theoretical physicists are working on it:

We need to change our ways, reproducing should be limited to two children, to replace the two adults who made them. Good luck getting that comminicated to the muslims of the world.

What surprised you in Russia? There is a very bad economic situation. People do not thrive in poor conditions. Of course if they are cultural. And the Chinese and Indians don't care about what you will eat their children.
