Humans are Plague on Earth - Attenborough
Quote:
Humans are a plague on the Earth that need to be controlled by limiting population growth, according to Sir David Attenborough.

The television presenter said that humans are threatening their own existence and that of other species by using up the world’s resources.
He said the only way to save the planet from famine and species extinction is to limit human population growth.
“We are a plague on the Earth. It’s coming home to roost over the next 50 years or so. It’s not just climate change; it’s sheer space, places to grow food for this enormous horde. Either we limit our population growth or the natural world will do it for us, and the natural world is doing it for us right now,” he told the Radio Times.

I have to say I agree with him 100%. For most of my adult life I've believed that we need to curb our population otherwise nature will do it for us. Its just a shame that we're likely to destroy much of the planet/environment before we eventually learn, if we ever learn. Its all so very tragic.
