You will need to prove it when I come to visit in 2020. Don't need coke though, you can have it all you want.

Aren't you only going to Sydney you schmuck?

Congress is in Sydney for 5 days , but I am planning to come for 2-3 weeks, rent a car and drive by coastline down to Victoria to visit a friend. So Melbourne will be at the end of the trip and we probably will fly back home from there.

So it is the end of the world in other words? All believers going to heaven and all non believers remaining to live on Earth? Or going to Hell? Or to Purgatory? To think if all believers would be gone and it is just us few atheists left to live here... we would have so much more space! It would be actually perfect solution for global warming, overpopulation, lack of food, etc. I like this plan from God. Please do it before I am old.

Lol at people who believe that the disappearance of large numbers of humans would be a positive for the humans who remain.

A lot of empty houses tho. Bet you can just move into a mansion for free.

There's really no overpopulation, unless you're an impoverished country. The more the merrier for developed countries, which tend to suffer from insufficient population growth (like Japan, which is on the road to economic collapse within decades), and try to offset it thru immigration (well, unless the nationalists succeed at destroying our prosperity).

Which would be great as long as there are still people running the sewer company and the water company and the electric company and the grocery stores and the farms and the trucks and the oil wells and on and on. Lose any one of those industries and life gets pretty tough pretty quick.

Undereducation is a problem. Not overpopulation.

I'd dig a water well and septic tank. I mean, the economy would be destroyed, and pretty much all of technical progress would come to an end, if the population loss is significant enough. But man would I enjoy my new free mansion. Until the marauding hordes murder me of course.

There would be enough not to fight for mansions really.

that is a problem as well which directly leads to overpopulation in underdeveloped countries.

I certainly did not have Canada or USA in mind. Try Bangladesh for example. Based on statistics world currently is overpopulated by about 2 bil people. Here is just a few effects of overpopulation.

Some more problems associated with or exacerbated by human overpopulation and over-consumption are:

• Inadequate fresh water for drinking as well as sewage treatment and effluent discharge. Some countries, like Saudi Arabia, use energy-expensive desalination to solve the problem of water shortages.
• Depletion of natural resources, especially fossil fuels.
• Increased levels of air pollution, water pollution, soil contamination and noise pollution.
• Changes in atmospheric composition and consequent global warming.
• Loss of arable land and increase in desertification. Deforestation and desertification can be reversed by adopting property rights, and this policy is successful even while the human population continues to grow.
• Mass species extinctions and contracting biodiversity from reduced habitat in tropical forests due to slash-and-burn techniques that sometimes are practiced by shifting cultivators, especially in countries with rapidly expanding rural populations; present extinction rates may be as high as 140,000 species lost per year.As of February 2011, the IUCN Red List lists a total of 801 animal species having gone extinct during recorded human history, although the vast majority of extinctions are thought to be undocumented.Biodiversity would continue to grow at an exponential rate if not for human influence. Sir David King, former chief scientific adviser to the UK government, told a parliamentary inquiry: "It is self-evident that the massive growth in the human population through the 20th century has had more impact on biodiversity than any other single factor."

The Yangtze River dolphin, Atlantic gray whale, West African black rhino, Merriam's elk, California grizzly bear, silver trout, blue pike and dusky seaside sparrow are all victims of human overpopulation.

• High infant and child mortality. High rates of infant mortality are associated with poverty. Rich countries with high population densities have low rates of infant mortality.
• Intensive factory farming to support large populations. It results in human threats including the evolution and spread of antibiotic resistant bacteria diseases, excessive air and water pollution, and new viruses that infect humans.
• Increased chance of the emergence of new epidemics and pandemics.For many environmental and social reasons, including overcrowded living conditions, malnutrition and inadequate, inaccessible, or non-existent health care, the poor are more likely to be exposed to infectious diseases.
• Starvation, malnutrition or poor diet with ill health and diet-deficiency diseases (e.g. rickets). However, rich countries with high population densities do not have famine.
• Poverty coupled with inflation in some regions and a resulting low level of capital formation. Poverty and inflation are aggravated by bad government and bad economic policies. Many countries with high population densities have eliminated absolute poverty and keep their inflation rates very low.
• Low life expectancy in countries with fastest growing populations.
• Unhygienic living conditions for many based upon water resource depletion, discharge of raw sewage and solid waste disposal. However, this problem can be reduced with the adoption of sewers. For example, after Karachi, Pakistan installed sewers, its infant mortality rate fell substantially.
• Elevated crime rate due to drug cartels and increased theft by people stealing resources to survive.
• Conflict over scarce resources and crowding, leading to increased levels of warfare.
• Less personal freedom and more restrictive laws. Laws regulate and shape politics, economics, history and society and serve as a mediator of relations and interactions between people. The higher the population density, the more frequent such interactions become, and thus there develops a need for more laws and/or more restrictive laws to regulate these interactions and relations.
