    There has been essentially no fighting for land in most parts of the world since WW2. Most wars have not been about land anymore. The wars that do happen do not correlate with the birth rate.

    I find it interesting how you ignore me pointing out that what you quote does not back up your previous claim.

      Population surges tend to cause conflict and competition for resources if unaccompanied by productivity growth and unmediated by strong institutions

      The global population is projected to exceed 10 billion by 2100. This 50% increase, as well as ongoing climate change, are likely to exacerbate the demand for natural resources. An often ignored consequence might be greater conflict, especially since much of the population growth and adverse effects of climate change will take place in areas with weak institutions and myriad economic, social, and legal problems.

      More than a third of 50 recently surveyed Nobel laureates cited “population rise / environmental degradation” as the biggest threat to humankind.

      a) The Earth’s per capita ability to supply basic food resources for humans will decline (Deutsch et al., 2018; Riegler, 2018). b) Supplies of potable water will decline. c) The average standard of living will decline, probably with a continuously increasing unevenness of access to resources. d) Human immigration pressures will increase dramatically, mostly directed to those places on the planet that retain the highest levels of access to the remaining resources.

      I find it interesting how you ignore me pointing out that what you quote does not back up your previous claim.

      You want me to prove that not having enough resources makes it harder to live somewhere? I absolutely backed up my point with those quotes.

        Does having children in a first world country with declining population affect poor people in Africa?

        Suddenly not having children means a lot of issues for those getting older. A slow decline, on the other hand, is not such a big problem for societies. It is the sudden change that comes at a high cost.

          Yes, advanced countries are have incredibly high per capita consumption, and a lot of that comes from Africa. Just one examples is large corporations restricting access to water for their own use, causing many people to lose access to clean water.

            Would the people in Africa be better of without selling resources?
