We live in the early decades of the 21st century, which has caught us in a time of converging extremes.  What constitutes those extremes?

Ten of them come to mind: human conflict, Chinese expansion, disease proliferation, catastrophic climate destabilization, mass human migration, economic chaos, plastics-poisons injected into our oceans, massive species extinction rates, horrific overuse and exhaustion of natural resources, water scarcity, and, "The Driver of It All", human overpopulation.  You could probably come up with another dozen extremes, but it would take a book.

Vladimir Putin's Russian attack on Ukraine has killed over 2,000,000 young men in four years of war. Over 75,000 have been killed in the Gaza/Israeli War in three years. U.S.-Israel war with Iran. India-Pakistan conflict. The Syrian civil war. 

As human numbers increase to extremes around the planet: countries fight for water, energy, arable land, resources and turf.  For example, China cannot feed its 1.4 billion people. It grows environmentally more unsustainable with each sunrise.  Thus, it expands into Africa, South America, Europe, Canada and America.  Please note: demographics determine superiority and destiny.  Remember what happened to the Native American Indians.  Additionally, India, at 1.48 billion people stagger into each new day with horrific environmental, water scarcity, food insecurity, pollution and human misery on a scale unheard of in human history. 

February 2019:  My friend Barry, a businessman, said, "Italy entered into China's new Silk Road initiative. In one year China took over critical port cities in Italy. Many Italians in Northern Italy sold their leather goods and textile companies to China.  Italy then allowed 100,000 Chinese from Wuhan to move to Italy to work in these factories.  Many took direct flights from Wuhan to Italy resulting in Northern Italy being a hotspot for the virus.  

 "This is why China is sending Italy foreign aid and medical equipment.  There's a rampant illegal immigration problem in Italy because of the massive numbers of Chinese going back and forth between Italy and Wuhan.  Chinese illegal factory workers are avoiding the taxes due Italy by not being registered as guest workers. 

They work for three months, then they disappear for a month and come back and go to work under a different name, different factory.  

 "Chinese are buying up port cities in Italy and taking over the textile industry.   Those businesses that didn't sell to Chinese are being put out of business by the Chinese.  There are some neighborhoods in Italy that are only Chinese now.  There was an outcry from the US but Italy ignored the concerns."

The exact same thing happened to Vancouver, BC, Canada where Chinese immigrants now dominate.  They continue to chase out Canadians. 

In America, Africa and South America, Chinese buy land and take-over businesses. China owns 384,000 acres of land in America. China would never allow Americans to buy land in China.  Chinese are chain-migrating by the hundreds of thousands into Canada and America. 

"Metro Vancouver is home to 512,260 Chinese, whereas the Greater Toronto Area is home to 679,725 Chinese immigrants." (Census of 2021)

Disease proliferation:  tuberculosis kills 2,000,000 (million) people annually according to the United Nations.  That's year after year.  The Covid 19 pandemic originated in Wuhan, China.  It could be a bio-weapon or it could be Nature's response to compacted numbers and filthy food/living practices by the Chinese people. I've visited China to see the filth myself.  As humanity increases by another 1,600,000,000 (billion) people, net gain within 24 years, to jump from 8.1 billion in 2026 to 9.7 billion by 2050, look for more pandemics that will kill millions. (Source: United Nations population projections)

"Globally, COVID-19 caused over 7 million officially reported deaths, but health organizations estimate the true toll of the pandemic—including indirect and unrecorded deaths—is closer to 15 to 21 million worldwide."

Catastrophic climate destabilization:  because of our extraordinary carbon exhaust of fossil fuel burning of 100,000,000 barrels 24/7, coal burning into the billions of tons, wood burning and methane gas exhaustion—we continue to set in motion responses from Nature that we cannot understand nor do we know the outcome as to long-term ramifications. Think: Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse.

Plastics and poisons:  if you think this planet and its marine creatures can tolerate 170 trillion more pieces of plastic tossed into our oceans on top of the trillions we've already tossed in the past 50 years, you might want to consult with a counselor. (Source: Scott Simon, NPR)
"There is an estimated 75 to 199 million tons of plastic waste currently in our oceans, with a further 33 billion pounds of plastic  entering the marine environment every single year. This constant flow of plastic production is simply too much for existing waste management and recycling infrastructure."  (Source:  https://www.rts.com/blog/plastic-pollution-in-the-ocean-facts-and-statistics.com)

When it comes to poisons, "Around 40,000 to 60,000 chemicals are actively traded in commercial markets worldwide."  All those chemicals eventually end up in our human food chain, soils, ground water, and ultimately, our oceans. All those poisons contaminate our food supply.

It's this journalist's observation, that back in 1970, at 3.5 billion people on the planet; we focused on overpopulation on that first Earth Day. We were warned about our impending future and that we needed to change course.  First world countries did change to 2.03 children per woman, but third world countries decided to "floor it" by adding another 4.6 billion of themselves to reach 8.1 billion, as if tomorrow wouldn't come.  Religious leaders applauded and praised endless population increases. So did corporations worldwide. Consumption driven by population growth yielded massive profits for a very few.  To hell with the environment or quality of life.
Well, tomorrow is here in 2026.  We're looking down both barrels of a 12-gauge shotgun with both hammers pulled back.

It's here and it's going to get dicey.  We survived Covid 19, but we will keep adding another 1.6 billion humans as projected to equal 9.7 billion humans by 2050. Mother Nature will send another form of the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse.  Guaranteed!

Extinction rates?  What will we do when the elephants, lions, tigers and thousands of marine species are driven to extinction?

"Estimates suggest that anywhere from 24 to 150 species go extinct every single day. Because millions of species remain undiscovered and uncatalogued, this figure is debated, but experts generally agree that the current rate of loss is hundreds to thousands of times higher than the natural background rate." (Source: www.e360.yale.edu )

Resource exhaustion?  You will discover a sobering book by Mr. Chris Clugston: Blip: Humanity's Self-Terminating Experiment with Industrialism.  He speaks to a 300 year "blip" since 1750 at the beginning of the Industrial Revolution where we've been exhausting all the metals, minerals and resources of the world. That "blip" will end in 2050 if not sooner. Once we cannot dig those non-renewable resources out of the ground, such as oil, our massive populations in cities will not be able to exist without energy, water, and food. They will collapse.  What cities are they?

Guangzhou, China: 73,600,000 residents
Shanghai, China: 42,300,000 residents
Tokyo, Japan: 41,300,000 residents
Delhi, India: 36,900,000 residents
Jakarta, Indonesia: 29,800,000 residents
Mumbai, India: 28,100,000 residents
Manila, Philippines: 27,100,000 residents
Mexico City, Mexico: 25,600,000 residents
Seoul, South Korea: 25,400,000 residents
Dhaka, Bangladesh: 23,700,000 residents 

What about water? Third world people utilize five gallons of water daily.  When they reach America or any First World country, that person uses 80 gallons of water 24/7.  When you add millions of people to America, Canada, Europe or Australia—you jump water consumption into the trillions of gallons daily…beyond carrying capacity of a finite amount of land and water supply. 

"Unlimited population growth cannot be sustained; you cannot sustain growth in the rates of consumption of resources.  No species can overrun the carrying capacity of a finite land mass.  This Law cannot be repealed and is not negotiable." Dr.  Albert. Bartlett, University of Colorado, USA

Mass migration?  In 2026, Africa houses, 1.4 billion people.  United Nations projections show Africa jumping to 2.0 billion people by 2050.  As you noticed in the past 10 years, millions of Africans have invaded Europe.  Millions of Middle-Easterners have invaded Europe, Canada, Australia and America. India, at 1.48 billion grows by 18 million, net gain, annually. Their citizens flee India to Western countries through "chain-migration" by the millions. The same with China, Indo-China, Mexico, and more.  As the world populations grow by 1.0 billion every 12 to 14 years, there is NO END TO THE LINE OF MIGRANTS FLEEING TO FIRST WORLD COUNTRIES. 

At some point soon, all Western Countries need to stop all immigration. If they don't, they will reach unsustainable numbers that will ultimately collapse their civilizations.

What can you do?  What are you going to do for your children?  What kind of a civilization will you hand over to them?  

Since none of the world leaders will speak to this issue, including presidents and Congresses, parliaments, and scientists, we need you, the average American citizen or any country's citizens to speak up.  You need to call or visit your governor, U.S. Senators, House Member, TV station, radio stations, NPR, PBS, CNN, FOX, PBS, "60 Minutes", Anderson Cooper 360, and as many as you can to demand a national discussion-debate on America's carrying capacity, immigration invasion both legal and illegal, energy, water and resources.  If you don't, they won't. Things will continue exactly as they have been since 1970.  Ask them what they think about and how will we feed another 74 million people added to the United States and another 15-20 million people to Canada within the next 30 years.

Remember the movie, Thelma and Louise? They created such consequences that they were faced with life in prison or driving over a cliff.  They drove over the cliff to certain death.  At some point, do you want your children to face driving over that cliff? Because if you do nothing, they will be forced to drive over that cliff or exist with the consequences of living in an unsustainable civilization. 

This is what the future will look like:

America remains on course to jump from 340 million to 414 million by 2060. That's 74 million more people to feed, water, transport, house, warm, and destroy the Natural World.

America's top 20 cities will double in population. New York City will jump from 8.5 million to 17 million. The State of Florida expects to jump from 23 million to 28 million. Extrapolate those numbers across the board.

Pollution rates will soar over big cities like Denver. Micro-plastics and particulate will be injected into individuals with every breath they take 24/7.

Plastics and poisons will continue to strangle our oceans. Reefs are dying, millions of whales and porpoises are dying from ingesting plastics. Humans kill 100 million sharks annually, and that killing spree will continue until the ecology of the ocean is totally destroyed.

Continued species extinction rates will alter the Natural World by creating imbalances that cannot be solved or corrected.

6.  Worldwide, a Child Dies Every 10 Seconds From Malnutrition. It's a tragic truth that more than 3.0 million children die from hunger every year. And between conflict and climate shocks, the number of children facing extreme hunger is on the rise.

7. One in six children in America faces food insecurity.  How much will that number jump with another 74 million people?

"If we don't halt population growth with justice and compassion, it will be done for us by Nature, brutally and without pity—and will leave a ravaged world." Nobel Laureate Dr. Henry W.  Kendall
The future is up to us in the present!
