Hmm. I wonder if he will get a prize??

 “This year’s World Population Day falls during a milestone year, when we anticipate the birth of the Earth’s eight billionth inhabitant.

I think this article is full of what I guess is called doom porn.

Personally, I do not think the world will be devoid of people as soon as this guy thinks it will be. Unless we have a nuclear war or thirty.

Some of the things he brings up though, are highly relevant. Like the microplastics thing. 

Seems to me that we have way too much plastic in the world and it is time to stop manufacturing new stuff, and start returning the old stuff  back into the oil it was made from.

Then make gasoline from that. Or maybe asphalt. Whats that old joke? Whose fault is it? It was asphalt?
