Despite being the 5th most powerful earthquake in recorded history, the anticipated reduction in global population today was a non-event.

<p>We had strong hope for the tsunami that sped across the Pacific, but the waves just were not big enough to cause much damage.</p>
<p>Oh well, perhaps another day.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>We could all learn a thing or two from this <a href="http://www.nataliedee.com" target="_blank">Natalie Dee comic</a></p>
<p>One thing that many environmentalists get wrong is they are trying to save the planet for the selfish reason of saving themselves. This will only hasten the destruction of the planet through overpopulation. The only way to save the planet is to dramatically reduce the population.</p>
<p>Do you know why Fiji has a relatively small population today in comparison to many of their neighbors? Because for thousands of years they were cannibals. No one wanted to vacation in Fiji because it meant getting eaten and as a result the people who survived were able to fully benefit from the pristine beauty and untouched natural resources of Fiji without having to deal with overpopulation. If each family would just eat 1 or 2 people a year, it would dramatically reduce the population of the planet and make life better for everyone.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>So the official death toll from the earthquake in Haiti is now around 170,000 and is expected to reach 200,000. This is a big improvement from the estimate in our previous post and will set the growth of the population back by a few years at least.</p>
<p>There is also a lot of talk about decentralizing the population of the country during the rebuilding process by moving people out to smaller villages and cities throughout the island. This of course is good, but much more needs to be done to reduce the population in order for there to ever be hope for the country.</p>
<p>Right now all sorts of ships and planes are bringing food and medicine to the country non stop. Why not bring condoms and birth control and a little bit of education to go along with it?</p>
<p>In the meantime, there is still hope for another big earthquake. A nearby fault which is thought to have a lot of pressure built on it barely moved during the 7.0 quake that hit the island.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The earthquake in Haiti may seem like great news to all of us who wish for a good reduction in population. Especially for a country as densely populated and impoverished as Haiti.</p>
<p>Haiti is a great example of what happens when population grows unchecked. Resources are extremely scarce and almost every single tree in the entire country has been cut down.<img class="alignleft" title="Haiti" src="http://www.cbc.ca/news/background/haiti/gfx/titlephoto2.jpg" alt="" width="283" height="180" /></p>
<p>The population continues to grow and grow because there is no education, no birth control, no family planning, and simply not quite enough disease and disaster to keep things in check.</p>
<p>For example:  The Red Cross estimates that as many as 50,000 are dead from the earthquake. But for a country that has a population closing in on 9 million there will be over 100,000 babies born this year.</p>
<p>Maybe they will be lucky enough to have a dozen more big quakes so that the good people of Haiti can start to live well again.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Finally the California Medical Board came to it&#8217;s senses and served Octomom&#8217;s fertility specialist, Michael Kamrava, with an accusation of &#8216;gross negligence and repeated negligent acts&#8217;. Clearly he used poor judgment with the medical procedures (read the details <a href="http://www.latimes.com/includes/misc/kamravaaccusation.pdf">here</a>),  but the item that has all of us here at New Global Future saying &#8220;Finally!&#8221; is the accusation of gross negligence for failure to refer Octomom for a mental health evaluation.</p>
<p>Octomom Nadya Suleman is the most obvious &#8220;celebrity&#8221; in need of mental help we&#8217;ve ever seen due to her obsession with always wanting more children. Nadya Suleman returned to her doctor 3-4 months after EVERY delivery of a child for another round of egg retrieval and implantation eventually leading to the birth of the world&#8217;s longest surviving octuplets. She now has a total of <strong>14 </strong>children.  If that&#8217;s not an addiction to pregnancy and children, then I don&#8217;t know <img class="alignright size-full wp-image-248" title="octomom" src="http://www.newglobalfuture.com/wp-content/uploads/octomom.jpg" alt="octomom" width="280" height="389" />what is. She seemed to have a  constant need for more and felt that what she had was never enough (she&#8217;s also been on public assistance for years and lived with her mother because she couldn&#8217;t afford to live on her own, but I won&#8217;t get into that).  Most women that have fertility problems are extremely grateful for each child they are able to have and don&#8217;t rush back to their doctor 3 months after their child is born saying &#8220;I need more!&#8221;. The fact that she did so and her doctor continued to oblige her without a second thought is disturbing to say the least. His defense that he was &#8220;only obliging his patient&#8217;s requests&#8221; is weak. If all doctors obliged every patient request without regard to ethics or patient safety, then this country could fall into chaos very quickly. We hope Dr. Kamrava will be a doctor no more once the medical board reviews the case and decides what disciplinary action to take.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>News is coming out of the UK and Norway of <a href="http://www.upi.com/Top_News/International/2009/11/21/Mutated-H1N1-detected-in-Norway/UPI-93981258788441/" target="_blank">a new drug resistant super-H1N1</a> <img class="alignright" src="http://www.voanews.com/specialenglish/images/AP_saudi_flu_w_10nov09_se_0.jpg" alt="" width="210" height="175" /></p>
<p>Two are dead from the strain in Norway and the one in Wales is completely resistant to Tamiflu. Could this be the mutation we have all been waiting for to give this pandemic the kick start that is so badly needed?</p>
<p>So far there are<a href="http://www.google.com/hostednews/canadianpress/article/ALeqM5iyqqXAU5kW1MBBCoSaz2nHQYREog" target="_blank"> just over 6000 confirmed </a>deaths from H1N1 worldwide. The actual number is certainly much higher as not everyone who gets sick and dies is tested for H1N1, however so far we have not seen the event we have been waiting for. Let&#8217;s hope these new mutations show some promise.</p>
<p>In other news, <a href="http://www.voanews.com/specialenglish/2009-11-10-voa2.cfm" target="_blank">the H1N1 vaccine is still in short supply</a>, so an un-vaccinated population still offers a glimmer of hope.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Andrew Revkin recently discussed a &#8220;thought experiment&#8221; on his blog at the <a href="http://dotearth.blogs.nytimes.com/2009/10/20/thought-experiments-on-sex-and-death/" target="_blank">New York Times</a> where he discussed the idea of getting carbon credits for not having children, since it was discovered that spending money on family planning is about the best way to stop carbon emissions.  It is a simple idea really, one that is not new to us here at NGF, but apparently it drew the ire of Rush Limbaugh who said that Mr. Revkin should go kill himself to help the planet.  The ironic thing is that in trying to offend Andrew, Rush actually supported his idea.  Be it not having a child, or just killing yourself, or even someone else.. the end result is that you make the world a little bit better.</p>
<p>I am not really a fan of Mr. Revkin or Mr. Limbaugh, but I am happy to see that little by little people in the mainstream are catching on to the idea that not having all sorts of children is a good thing, that there are many good reasons to reduce the population instead of constantly trying to grow it.</p>
<p>Here&#8217;s to hoping the idea continues to gain ground.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The results of a recent HIV vaccine trial in Thailand are out and although thankfully not significant enough to put an actual vaccine into production, it has given researchers hope that they are moving in the right direction.</p>
<p>This is very bad news.</p>
<p>HIV/AIDS Has been an incredible asset in the population fight.  Not just because it kills people. It does not really work fast enough to kill a significant amount of humans.  However, the fear of getting HIV/AIDS stops hundreds of millions of people from having unprotected sex&#8230; or even from having sex at all.</p>
<p>Without the fear of getting a terrible incurable disease, a vaccinated population will become sluttier than you could ever imagine, each individual could engage in sexual activities with thousands of unprotected partners every year the global birthrate would shoot up from 2.2 babies per female to more than 16.</p>
<p><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-238" title="hiv_175117041" src="http://www.newglobalfuture.com/wp-content/uploads/hiv_175117041-226x300.jpg" alt="hiv_175117041" width="98" height="130" />In just a few generations we could see a population on this planet of over 100 billion.</p>
<p>Scary times indeed.  Maybe we will get lucky and some more earthquakes in Asia will wipe out any more vaccine progress.</p>
