Bill Maher is wrong on overpopulation

"I think the problem with the environment is too many people using too few resources."

Bill Maher is wrong.

More people = more new ideas.

With more knowledge, we can get infinite value out of our finite materials.

The problem is that Bill only sees the war from his own fox hole. He lives in LA. If you live in that overcrowded sesspool, who WOULDN'T think we are overpopulated?

Old growth forests being cut down and replaced by tree seedlings is not a forest, it's a tree plantation.

[bettyboop]

Forrests have grown in the US and Europe.
He purposely omitted talking about South America.

Resource un-availability is very different than resource mis-management.

[paulrawlinson]

When you lie to support your argument, you destroy your argument. Forests have grown by 35% in europe, but shrunk at a greater rate in developing countries, so theres an overall loss of 5 million acres a year.

It's not overpopulation, it's location over concentration and lack of education.

[marymitchell]

No, Bill. As George Carlin once said, "It's a club & we ain't in it". We're livestock to "elite" billionaires, & their goal is to thin the herd.

[lustwaffe]

Forrests have grown in Europe and North America, because they cut down more and more trees in the Amazon and Indonesia.

[Frosty]

The main problem is that the wrong kind of people have the most children...

[Nikoricci]

For those who require tens of thousands of employees to maintain and grow their wealth and power it would appear to be a problem. Those who have driven in rush hour traffic in any major city may have a different perspective.

[awakenthewoke]

Just wait until we are all 70 and expecting the younger workers that won't exist to continue to pay the taxes to pay social security. We will be screwed.

[chuckprichard]

I'll never forget the vile things Maher said about Nick Sandmann.

[edwardlewis]

You can fit more people in a car, but that doesn't mean everything is just fine and you can just keep adding more.

[GoatedJoyBoy]

Y’all can chill out nick cannon got repopulation under control

[brunetteordie]

We need less of the entitlement mentality.

[alexvagias]

When I was in high school, the population of the US was 160 million- half of what it is, now. We got along just fine and there was very little overcrowding like you see in most cities, today

[limitedtime]

I've traveled a lot in the US and seek out remote wilderness areas. There are too many people

[giarc]

I’m not worried about countries in North America and/or Europe destroying the environment as much as I am all the other countries in the world. Case in point, Brazil.

[trueeagle]

We also waste stuff, mismanage stuff and profit off everything including babies.

[bubbaramsey]

The population will become unsustainable at some point. When and what number, no one knows. We will find out though.
