The Myth of Overpopulation - (Good Laugh)

This is from the American Thinker and actually from the Anti-Choice crowd but I thought DU might enjoy a good laugh about now

The Myth of Overpopulation

One of the frequent cries of many on the left is that the world is overpopulated. The latest hysterical outburst on this matter came from Sir David Attenborough, a recent patron of "The Optimum Population Trust." The 86-year-old Attenborough, who has a degree in natural sciences and is a former senior manager of the BBC, is a high priest among earth-worshiping liberals.

Nothing could be farther from the truth. When it comes to "sheer space" and "places to grow food," we have barely touched what the earth has available. Given that the earth contains just north of 7 billion people, the entire population of the planet could easily fit into the state of Texas, which contains less than 0.14% of the earth's land area.

and of course the science to back up their claim is the "Population Research Institute" https://www.pop.org/

The Population Research Institute (PRI) is a non-profit organization based in Front Royal, Virginia, USA. PRI describes itself as "a non-profit research and educational organization dedicated to objectively presenting the truth about population-related issues." It operates programs against contraception and abortion. PRI is a 501(c)(3) organization. The organization claims field teams and contacts in over 30 countries that monitor family planning campaigns

Pretty much 1 antichoice priest and one other nimbisule who calls himself an "Anthropologist. Pretty laughable stuff if the results weren't so bad
