The New Overpopulation Global Warming World Economy

I have been studying the changes since around 2006 when a drought in Australia was so serious farmers were killing themselves from the drought. This also created the world stocks of food to deplete from 130% of what the world needed down to around 99% to 100% of what the world needed. You might ask, "What's wrong with this?" The problem is storage and the cost of transportation. At 130% of what the world needed spoilage and transportation could more easily be figured into this. At 99% to 100% there is no margin for error and people begin to starve in higher quantities around the world. Now, we have seen for one or two years now even in the U.S. major droughts in at least 1/2 of the lower 48 states that are the breadbasket not only of the nation but also of the world.

The U.S. can afford to buy food from other countries to replace what we lost from our own droughts the last couple of years. However, even though countries can afford to sell us their food and the upper 10% of farmers do quite well in those counties, it also creates increased shortages worldwide because the food shipped to the U.S. and other rich countries reduces the amount of food available for everyone worldwide and also increases the prices (the law of supply and demand).

Overpopulation is also a factor in all this. As the population increases from better medicine and longer lifespans in the developed nations, life spans are likely to decrease in developing nations at the same time because as people live longer in the developed world they continue to consume food that does not go to younger people in the developing world.

All these factors together create job shortages and panic among most groups of people around the world which creates higher rates of crime as people become more and more desperate in the developing world. We see this problem creeping even into Europe through Syrian refugees, Egyptian refugees and the collapse of the Greek economy and the problems in Cyprus.

The Middle East the last 30 years or so has had a population explosion. But the problem with this is that there are not the natural resources in the middle east, (except in oil nations) to create enough water, food and livelihoods for all these young people. So, as a direct result governments (especially corrupt ones) are being overthrown right and left. But only ones with oil resources like Libya are likely to do well because only oil based economies have enough money coming in through oil revenue to be able to buy foreign food to feed their peoples. So, non-oil based Middle Eastern Economies will continue to collapse and so will governments ongoing. This is actually less about Arab Spring and more about resources or the lack of them combined with overpopulation.

Global Warming also factors into all this with growing seasons in all countries becoming more and more disrupted by unexpected weather events. Soil depletion also becomes more of a problem because there is less tillable soil worldwide every day and every year because of more houses and less tillable land for farming as a direct result. Also, soil is being degraded at a more alarming rate each day so less good food can be grown as well. In addition to this as good tillable soil reduces, good water also reduces as a direct result too. As there are more people and more animals to feed these people the whole ecosystem of earth becomes degraded through animal feces in water supplies worldwide. Even here in the U.S. Giardia and Cryptosporidium are endemic to larger and larger areas of the U.S. (For example Cryptosporidium is in almost all city water supplies at least 1 month or more every year and is not killed by Clorination or Fluoridation).

As a direct result of all these factors and more the new economy is not a robust one worldwide. And all these factors likely will result in more and more unstable world economies at least until populations begin to reduce. 

 

The only good thing in regard to this is that more and more people in the developed world are choosing not to get married and not to have children because they simply can't afford to do that without more employment. However, this will create other types of psychological problems for people in dealing with not being married or having children for people under 30 in the developed world as well.

 

However, in the developing world not having children often means you will never be able to retire and a greatly shortened lifespan because of no social services. So, in the developing world you will continue to see people have kids as a way of staying alive longer which will create even more problems than now for the world at large.

 

So, the new economy likely will get worse before it gets better on a worldwide scale. In the developing world people's governments more and more will become unstable or collapse whereas in the developed world people will live much longer but have many less children per capita which will create it's own sort of problems as well.

So, more than ever we will have 2 or more worlds within Earth's basic structure and two vastly different ways of looking at everything.
