These Lefties sound like a broken record. It does not matter that they are wrong time after time, or that world hunger has nothing to do with too many people, it has to do with distribution and power. There is an abundance of food in the world, but it cannot be distributed because the worlds tyrants, virtually all of them left or hard left leaning, will not let it happen. Not willing to let facts get in the way, Attenborough holds forth with typical Leftist nonsense:
The television presenter said that humans are threatening their own existence and that of other species by using up the world’s resources.
He said the only way to save the planet from famine and species extinction is to limit human population growth.
“We are a plague on the Earth. It’s coming home to roost over the next 50 years or so. It’s not just climate change; it’s sheer space, places to grow food for this enormous horde. Either we limit our population growth or the natural world will do it for us, and the natural world is doing it for us right now,” he told the Radio Times.
Sir David, who is a patron of the Population Matters, has spoken out before about the “frightening explosion in human numbers” and the need for investment in sex education and other voluntary means of limiting population in developing countries.
“We keep putting on programmes about famine in Ethiopia; that’s what’s happening. Too many people there. They can’t support themselves — and it’s not an inhuman thing to say. It’s the case. Until humanity manages to sort itself out and get a coordinated view about the planet it’s going to get worse and worse.”

Ole Dave has went waaaaay around the bend!
I agree with the fact we could take less and give more to the planet but for all that subscribe to the idea that we should lower the population by getting rid of other people’s family, friends, weak or unborn children I say why do you not start with your self
Amazing! So do animals you ignorant SOB!
Then don’t be a$#%&!@* Just kill yourself!
My thoughts exactly
It’s very true that humans are parasites on the earth but so are animals and plants. We all feed off the earth. Therefore when the earth wants to get rid of us she can do it by a simple shrug and you have an earthquake. She can conjure up storms and floods. The problem is that without people there would be no one to appreciate her pristine beauty. The leftists don’t think things through. That’s their problem.
