I'm new here and really enjoying it.
Wonder why not much talk about population.
Can't most major problems be put to over population?

Yes. Without humans, the earth would thrive.
If humans disappeared, the oceans would someday be clean and populated again....the atmosphere would clean up....and neat extinct animals would have a chance for a comeback.
Furthermore, the forests would again thrive....and rain-forests would regrow.
The plains and prairies would once again be home to migratory animals....

Sounds amazing.

Well,, since Thanos got the infinity stones and removed 1/2 of the population, I think some people feel it is a touchy conversation.

The most damaging thing to the environment is agriculture and the environment starts to rebound in areas where there is so much war that people can't farm. Of course people can farm differently and build places like this

By the way, this website has a bit of a learning curve.

For members who are open to dating, certain thumbnails and profiles have a heart symbol on them with a percentage. This identifies which members are open to dating, and the percent shows approximately how compatible others are with them.

You can improve your website score in general by answering all the profile questions and writing a bio, which also earns website points, and helps other members get to know you.

Commenting on posts and writing your own posts earns more points. At level two you can private message people, and at level eight you get an agnostic T-shirt.

If you want to date, the website uses profile algorithms to find member matches, so the more details one includes, the better the match.

Many people prefer to see a written profile talking about interests, hobbies, and backgrounds that can be quickly perused to find others who are compatible with them.

In case you didn't know yet, to find members near you, click on the "Browse" button at the top of the page, then on "Members," and enter your preferred search parameters.
Click on the "Discuss" button, then "Nearby" to find members near you also.
Or click on the "About" button at the top left of the page to find links to FAQ or the website tutorial.
Points are now being given to level 3+ members who chat. You can see chat rooms on the group main page or at [agnostic.com].

Gosh, yes! Ask any endangered species! Also, just who do think is pumping all that carbon dioxide into the atmosphere? Duh!

I have this fantasy that our fossil-fuel-loving president will meet up with a hungry polar bear! And sooner rather than later!

Yep...I think so and if not now, it will be in the near future, if it isn't addressed. It is a train of thought that I re-visit over and over.

The problem of overpopulation is, in my opinion, overblown. The population is certain to level off. I tend to agree with Hans Rosling's research on the topic.

@Matias Rosling is merely reporting on the trends as shown by the data and extrapolating from there. If he is proven wrong, we all lose. I am unaware of the distinction between ‘human development’ and ‘natural development.’ Finally, whether it be the destruction of the environment or any number of negative outcomes, the actions that would serve to harm us are not the result of sheer numbers of persons, but rather the consequences of misplaced priorities, poor planning and an inability to act.

That is the classic Elephant In The Room question.

Elephant? Or a paper tiger?

@pnfullifidian Elephant.
