World population's appetite TO DOUBLE by 2050, boffin warns

Thumb Up

Totally agree with this post.

More needs to be done to discuss how we will manage population growth.

For the last few years/decades, everything has been based on growth and growth potential. We can't just go on growing forever, so eventually economists are going to have to work a stabilising or shrinking population into their estimates of output.

Also, I fail to see how saying that birth control is more important than clearing more land to feed an ever expanding population is a "racist rant". Racist in what way exactly?

I think you're confused.

Obviously light does not have infinite energy! Photons (light) have negligable (infinitely small) mass which effectively allows light to be so fast. It is arguable whether photons have any mass at all.
