“We have a finite environment—the planet. Anyone who thinks that you can have infinite growth in a finite environment is either a madman or an economist." -Sir David Attenborough.

I don't agree with him on the causes and solutions of overpopulation, but he hit the nail on the delusional pro-consumerist.

Another myth is Balochistan is desert with sand, nothing can be grown on sand.

Balochistan is an arid, mountaneous in many areas, but with fertile Soil/Mitti where all kind of crops can be grown when water is available. It is not sand in many areas but soil without water resources. And mountain areas has valleys and meadows. There are large plains also.

Fruit trees gets the moisture and water from the ground, ground water and from atmosphere unlike crops which need to be watered, so Balochistan has abundance of fruit gardens, has many climatic zones and with distinct winters and summers.


Balochistan is suitable for growing all kinds of crops including Wheat, rice, cotton, pulses, oilseed crops, and kinds of fruits including grapes, cherry and almonds, peach, pomegranate, apricot, apple, and dates.

Bhai, Balochistan government ke PR department mein job pakar lien to

 

[N.Siddiqui]

Bhai Balochistan government ke PR department mein job pakar le tu

Yes I can do a better job than many PR dept. people, and people in tourism department as well. Have been to Balochistan many times.

And people in Pakistan, in Punjab and Sindh don't visit Balochistan so their ambit of knowledge is limited.

Bangladesh solution to tackling overpopulation was simple.

Educate the women, give them jobs and careers and population growth literally stopped.

Girls education in villages was helped by giving parents sacks of rice for sending their girl-child to school.

Bangladesh has more girls than boys in every stage of education now, especially primary and secondary.

More women in Bangladesh have a job as a percentage of the population than those of the US. Yes you heard it right.

Since a large portion of women in Bangladesh have jobs, they don't depend on husband's income, and can decide by themselves when to have kids and how many.

This works in Bangladesh context - but may not for other countries.

Labor force participation by women is important because it indicates women's free will in deciding the time and place of becoming a mother and starting a family. Which results in a lower rate of population growth.

western China is sparsely populated

Where did I disagree???? Where the video contradict that statement? Western China is mostly dry steppe environment. Not much vegetation there, so no surprise on the smaller populations there.
