What I don't get is, if people have been starving and poor for decades, why do they have ten children if they cannot provide for one?
Discussion
Because Israel kills them all. It's about survivability.
FYI this is a common thing in lower GDP countries. Higher childbirth rates are higher because infant mortality is higher (or was, I working on decade old info here)
So imagine, if you had 10 kids, and 6 died, you would at least have 4 survive past the age of 10 and take care of you as you get older. They also need more hands to work to bring in incomes in low income areas. More hand = more work = more income
It's the same reason why 150 years ago people were having so many more kids, bigger families.
Now no one fucks because they are career driven, no time to fuck and make kids when you're fucking and making money.
How can you know all this and then brag about supporting fossil fuel extraction
because I'm a realist. fossil fuel extraction, coal and oil and gas is what drives our world's growing demand.
We don't run ships on solar. We run them on oil and gas. We don't burn coal like we did in the 40's - 'clean' coal is a thing because we reprocess plume and harvest that materials into sulphur and other things. It's a lot cleaner and get's 'cleaner' everyday. It provides a huge amount of jobs vs solar and wind.
I am a full supporter of renewables too. I invested in companies that do solar, wind and gas from methane.
Energy is energy kiddo, you're being the child here stop hou jou bek and stop assuming shit
The more energy is produced, the more people will consume.
People are not limiting themselves based on rationality so rational people see we cannot afford the risk of helping people try to do unlimited damage. There isn't actually an unlimited amount the biosphere can take.
Stop being retarded
"The more energy is produced, the more people will consume."
Do you know how the system works? I don't think you do.
Learn about how electricity is produced and transmitted then we can have a viable conversation otherwise this is pointless
I didn't say electricity, I said energy
You're a denialist refusing to think straight or read clearly
But somehow you seem to understand how actual poor people live worldwide
And for any onlookers reading this who are so biased they'll pretend anything I ignore must be true - yes, I understand how the system works, no, I'm not gonna randomly take the bait to change the subject to a less important subtopic for no reason
Paradoxically, the mortality rate of children is correlated with the fertility rate. Sadly, children are often expected to provide for their parents rather than the other way around.
Because they have unbelievable amounts of heart, while also having no concept of their situation as hopeless. Some would call this faith. (Had to necro bump, sorry)
