Glaciers, lakes and forests have disappeared from Africa at an alarming rate in the past 36 years, satellite photographs have revealed.

The biggest factor contributing to the changes, she said, was the rise in Africa's population to 965 million.

From 2000-05 the population rose 2.32 per cent each year compared with the global average of 1.24 per cent, and 20 of the fastest growing countries around the world in terms of population are located in Africa. This has meant the area of land available for each individual has fallen from 13.5 hectares in 1950 to 3 today and is forecast to fall to just 1.5 hectares by 2050.

We can recycle, buy less, and even live in small cottages for the rest of our lives--as long as we are 6,5+ billion people on this planet, and growing, we will continue to destroy wild land and leave wrecked human habitat behind. Overpopulation is the environmental problem. Corrupt wants to reduce it immediately to a zero net growth level and optimally take it down to 0,5-1 billion people. While at it, we'll see to it that those who make out the future of humanity have an IQ above 120. Smart people have the chance of making smart decisions, stupid people will always make poor decisions, breed like rabbits, destroy, and dumb things down.
