Can Mother and Father Nature handle seven billion people?

December 21, 2012 has been proven not to be the end of the world.  It is supposed to be the day the world changes as we know it - That doesn't mean the end of the world!  Try to think positive!

No this planet cannot sustain those population numbers.  We can look for more diseases to emerge, which will wipe out large numbers of people.  Its Mother Nature's way of population control, in  animals and humans.

Doom and gloomers have been shouting the overpopulation mantra for decades. Actually, for hundreds of years. Before 1800 Malthus predicted the worlds population would outgrow the food supply within a couple generations. More recently, Paul Erlich, Alvin Toffler and others have made similar predictions. However, none of these predictions have come true. We are not approaching the population exceeding the food supply. (although, artifical restrictions may cause that to happen).

As for temperature, the warmest year on record was either 1998 or 1934, it keeps going back and forth (yes, 2005 was erroneously called the warmest year for a couple of months). However, recent revelations have demonstrated some "cherry picking" of what temperature data were being used.

The antarctic ice cap is not diminishing but rather increasing in size. The Arctic ice cap appears to be growing again. The IPCC report has been found to be loaded with errors, many of them intentional and politically driven, i.e. the report on the melting of Himilayan glaciers found to be fabricated.

And, while diseases may emerge, and in fact wipe out millions, it will not be a case of  mother nature "purging" the world of excess population. The rapid spread will be because of the ability to traverse the world faster than disease symptoms can occur. It is almost impossible to control the spread of highly contagious diseases today.

Oh my, what a subject!

The antarctic ice cap is increasing but only because of the ozone hole.  I will let you research the reason.  The arctic ocean is in trouble.  All I know is if ships can now can get through the passage and never were able to before, something BIG has changed.

I just read something new today that places global warming square in the lap of overpopulation and the amount of heat humans produce.  So what are we going to do about that?

Doom and Gloom has been around for as long as man has been around.  Comes with the territory, I guess.  In the time of Jesus they were certain they were in the end times.  And maybe they were and we are too, but time is relative to the vast eternity so the end times may go on for another few thousand years.

December 12, 2012 is a non event.  It means nothing.  It is just the end of an Indian period in time no different than December 31, 2010.  Remember all the millennium nonsense?  Pick a date and go ahead and get worked up about it.  It won't mean squat.  Today has enough of it's own worries, deal with them, and why worry about tomorrow?  Didn't Jesus say something like that?

Mother Nature is an ancient Pagan God she can not handle anything

Dan - during certain parts of the year ships have been able to get through the "Arctic Passage" in recorded history. Throughout history, the Arctic passage has been clear of ice many times. We have had times of warming, and times of cooling. Most of those before man. More and more, we are finding that climate data has been modified and cherry picked to support political agendae, especially the data the the IPCC report on climate change is relying upon.

Mother Nature is a term only first used in the late 1600's which is long after ancient Pagan Gods.

I like both words.  Mother (loving and nurturing) and Nature (birth or natural).  They go well together.

The beauty about nature and God himself, is that while appearing to be ever changing, they in fact are always the same, and will always be there doing what is "natural". It is we humans that seem to want to always change our nature from what it is and doing the "unnatural".

Mike I don't want to hijack Linda Mae's blog, but....

The most direct shipping route from Europe to Asia is fully clear of ice for the first time since records began, the European Space Agency (Esa) says.

Dan - the Northwest Passage has been in use for a very long time, first made in 1906. I am not sure which route ESA is talking about. There may have been some temporary opening of a different route. However, the Artic Summer Sea Ice has grown by 409,000 sq. miles since 2007. There is growing consensus that we are entering into a cooling period, and ending the warming period.

It is not about climate, it is about control. The falsificaton of the IPCC report shows that. Here is just the latest story on it, earlier this week there were several more (most of them ignored by the mainstream press in the U.S.).

Since we are just starting in to a cooling period, it may take several years for the affects of the warming period to mitigate.
