Who are we kidding?

Who out there really believes that planet earth and the developed world can continue as we are?

I don't.

We have a planet full to bursting point, with 7 billion people, and the population is expanding very quickly. The politicians want growth to continue, but how can we? The third world is coming to a point where they want what the rest of the world has. The natural resources of the planet are being stretched to the limit: earth will run out of oil, minerals, and even water seems to be in short supply.

So how can we continue to grow? what we need is a sustainable and decent standard of living for everyone on this planet. This might need some hard facts to be absorbed. Such as, its just not OK to have a busload of children - 1 maximum, per person - ie you have a child allowance. China has managed the 1 child per family, its time the rest of the world learned from them.
