A Project for a New Global Future

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

Chile is well equipped to handle earthquakes, so the loss of life was not the same as seen in Haiti.  We will be lucky if the death toll tops 1000.

We had strong hope for the tsunami that sped across the Pacific, but the waves just were not big enough to cause much damage.

Oh well, perhaps another day.

A magnitude 8.8 earthquake has hit Chile and tsunami was triggered and is travelling at 500 mph across the ocean, may possibly hit Hawaii.

New updates will come as they are available.  We may have a nice dent in the population today!

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.

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.

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?

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.
