Usually it’s just the climate cult/ecoloons in fringe publications who say this, or on Twitter or Facebook or something. Now we have something in a real news outlet from a big “science” outlet pushing this insanityScientists say we need to HALVE Earth’s population to just 4 billion to save the planetIt might sound like the evil plan of a nefarious villain, but scientists now say that we need to halve Earth’s population to save the planet. Over the last 100 years, the world’s population has ballooned from less than two billion to 8.3 billion people. Now, in a proposal that will remind movie fans of Thanos’ plot in Avengers: Infinity War, scientists argue that the population needs to be ‘eased’ down to four billion by 2200. However, rather than the instant destruction envisioned in that blockbuster hit, the scientists say that this could be managed as a gradual decline.
