Well....\nCause We All Know Its Happenin \nAnd Its Gonna Kill Us\nAnd We Need Somethin ELSE To Complain About \nOn The Way Out\n\nI Agree With You, The Human Race Has INFESTED This Planet\nAnd Weve Thrown The Balance Of Nature WAY Off\n\nWere Destroying Our Atmosphere\nAnd Cuttin Down The Rain Forests\nAnd Pollutin Our Oceans And Rivers\n\nWhat Can You Do??? You Cant Fight City Hall\n\nSo We Drive Our Cars (Destroying Our Atmosphere)\nAnd Wipe Our Butts(Cuttin Down The Rain Forests)\nAnd Throw ALL Our Trash (Pollutin Our Oceans And Rivers)\n\nAnd All The While We COMPLAIN About It\n\nAnd Alot Of The Time We PROCREATE\n(overpopulating and destroying this planet faster every day) \n\nIts A Vicious Cycle

No, because all of the materials used to make people are constantly being recycled.\n\nThe mass of the earth is increasing, however, because of the constant bombardment of the planet with cosmic dust and stuff.

Yeah, let's dominate and overpopulate.

because we're used to it...\n\nThink about it for a second. In history, America was discovered and war erupted. It would be the same concept, but differ from immigrating. If we all were to travel to another planet and establish a colony, we would have problems because we are bewildered of the resources on the planet. Does it supply water? Does it have air?  It's really the ecological questioning you want to develope in your debate. Otherwise, talk about how fun earth is. The most important thing when you reason... bring up questions that will make the listener think about the consequences of going to the other planet. If we all go to the other planet, will supplies last? WIll there be a politcal conflict of who owns the planet? Also, list your points. Then... at the end... mention how the world would be a better place if we stayed on Earth... Lets not abadon our planet... LMAO. good luck.

your observation of current conditions go far beyond the political structure that our world suffers from Today.In brief, the answer to the first part of your question is 'Its already too late!" Our Environment is in total upheaval due to the persistent use of FOSSIL FUEL!! Global Warming is UPON us as we sleep, eat and make war....for the very product that will terminate Life as we know it...First of all,once the concept of Greed is comprehended ...We as a race might have a chance to not become exstinct. As it stands now, it doesnt look very good. Understanding the free worlds economy and realizing that it is controlled by the Petro Dollar.and the handful of people that own the Companies that produce Petroleum.Failure to keep the Petro Dollar afloat WILL and WOULD collapse the free world economy,  THIS is the POLITICAL Machine that decides whose Son or Daughter should be sacrificed to maintain a "Freedom" to breath foul air and watch our Planet slowly Die; Being ravaged by Hurricanes,Tornadoes,and Floods caused by the melting of our Polar caps.Once the Salinity content of our oceans deviate much more or the temperature should fluxuate (I believe its 4 Degrees Celsius) disrupting the food chain, we as a race of people should be issued a shovel the next time we fill our gas tanks ....so we can start digging our own graves....We are on the Precipice, and it IS serious,....but we as a people have a tendency to not want to hear this until its knocking at our door...I pray that we as a society will take note and a STAND and commit...your children and your grandchildren have the RIGHT to live in a world free of Toxic Gases we call 'AIR' that is generated by the handful of Petrol Sharks that keep us stuck from utilizing the technology that ALREADY exist to burn clean fuel  ...Sundancer

Society's downfall has been predicted with alarming regularity since the beginning of civilization. Those "old days" were not as "good" as folks make them out to be, as brown eyed bohemian pointed out.\n\nWhile we have more ways of destroying our planet than ever, I don't think we're quite ready for "Armageddon" just yet. While the disappearance of the US middle class is a chilling development, it's not the biggest we face.\n\nClimate changes prompted by global warming will make it tougher for BILLIONS of people to have any quality of life at all. People (especially in the wealthier nations like US and Europe) will have to get politically active locally and nationally to get their leaders to follow the proper course. Just as important, we will need to network on an informal basis with our counterparts in other countries. Keep on the good foot. Cincypix.

It really sucks.  I just watched a report on 60 Minutes about this subject and we are in deep trouble.  They showed a picture of the arctic in 1979 and one just taken six months ago.  It is unbelievable how much ice has melted in just 26 years.  The most noted authority on this catastrophe said that even if we were to stop putting greenhouse gases into our atmosphere, it wouldn't change the fact that our global temperature will still rise.  It probably wouldn't rise quite as fast, but it will still happen because of all the gases we have already emitted.  We can only sove this problem collectively as a human race and not separately as nations.

Every day 400000 babies are born, 150000 people die for a net increase of 250000 human beings a day.\n\nCurrently the worldpopulation increases with 90 million a year, or about 1.4%. We are crowding 6500 million people on the planet.

Its already on the way for 30 years or so with the gloves of and secretly for centuries\nnothing to do with Dan Brown,check www.infowars\nHitler was openly talking about it ,then PAPA Bush and now Arnie and George W are making not secrets about it.\nneither is Kissinger who has revealed their agenda of lowering the world population by 60%.\n\nbut you guys go ahead stick your heads in the sand ,you are in for a rude awakening

If the human race is going to evolve any further we must look for a new place to live.  We are destroying this planet.

We are hardwired to destroy this planet like termites destroy a piece of wood. Surely you have noticed that we are not the same as the other creatures who live here? We do not develope a sense of equalibrium with the environment around us, because we are no longer adapting to fit into our surroundings. Instead we change our surroundings to fit our wants and needs. I believe man is too easily distracted and caught up in his own drama to repair any of the damage he's done.

It's our nature, over population happens here and there and we have to get rid of it so we all go nuts and start wars which will thin out the people.  We are just animals with brains that can develop things, like big bombs and other destructive weapons.  We're not really as civilized as we want to think.  If we allow the world to continue future generations will look back on our part of history as Barbaric just like we look back at other civilizations the same way.

No one knows - but people have been predicting global economica collapse due to overpopulation since the mid-1800's.\n\nThe thing that rescues us always is Human Innovation. Food production, energy management, distribution techniques, sanitation, medicine, etc. have all improved at incredible rates to keep up with population growth - and they continue to.\n\nIf this is the best answer, please rate it the best answer. Thanks!

This is what bothers me.  The whole freakin oil issue.  I think that is the worst abuse on mankind AND the earth.  Because oil is the reason for this whole damn war and also oil is the earth's life blood.  How would we like it if someone was mining blood out of us and not replacing it?  We are sucking the life blood out of this planet and every single one of us is guilty!!  The rain forests are vanishing, global warming is so damn obvious but weather it is just natures course or our doing is another question I struggle with.  Maybe a bit of both.  We are probably excellurating (sp) it!\nDon't get me started.  I just had 11 hours of sleep and I could just kick anyone's butt over this whole abusing earth issue.  I know it sounds crazy but sometimes I hope man destroys himself before he destroys the planet.  \nIs that rocket ready yet baby?  We gotta get the hell out of here.

I guess I am not allowed to answer since I am concerned about global warming.  I am also concerned about the massive population explosion of dim wits.  Both are great causes of concern.  But since you did not ask for solutions I will not give you what you did not ask for.  You seek to get blabble babble static and drivle...

What over-population? Go up in a plane & there's vast stretches of un-utilitized resources down there to be put to use. I'm sure 100 years ago people thought the world was overpopulated too.
