A thought provoking article in RT that highlights an increasing problem for humanity worldwide. A problem that most countries are still in denial over as evidenced by rising suicide and death rates worldwide?

See my reply to Storm below.
When I came to Australia in the mid 70's they claiimed that the 10+million citizens were already too many. I think we are now up to 25 or 26 million and climbing.
The planet already has WAY to many people, and you're worried we're not cranking out babies fast enough?
Yes, I'm aware that poses it's own set of problems, but which is it, too many old people, or an uninhabitable plant?
Something's gotta give.
