You worldwide Greens and pollution.
I am astounded and tearing my hair out over you lot.
It's Overpopulation of the World, listen to Sir David Attenborough!
More than a third of species assessed in a major international biodiversity study are threatened with extinction, scientists have warned.
These included 21% of all known mammals, 30% of amphibians, 70% of plants and 35% of invertebrates.
At what point will society truly respond to this growing crisis?
Professor Jonathan Baillie,
Zoological Society of London.
This is caused entirely by the increase in Human Population!
It cannot go on. Spreading people around the world is NOT the answer.
Neither is the argument: more people are needed to finance seniors. We seniors must learn to manage with less. It will balance out in two generations.
We do not wish to be a dumping ground for overpopulated Countries.
On ABC 5.55 pm teens news? last night!
50% of all world species lost in recent years ar from AUSTRALIA.
WAKE UP GREENS, it's OVERPOPULATION stupid!
That's why we don't like your population policies for Australia.
