This one should bring some response. The following is taken from London newspaper.
Britain must set a maximum population level if it is to avoid destroying the environment and putting national security at risk, say experts. The Optimum Population Trust has written to ministers calling for a policy of ‘zero net migration’ – matching numbers allowed into Britain each year to numbers leaving.
The UK’s population is projected to increase from 60 to 70million over the next 20 years, and to 85million by 2081.
Experts are demanding a Royal Commission to establish ‘an environmentally sustainable level of population’ The trust, a panel of academics and environmentalists, says achieving zero net migration would cut Britain’s population in 2081 to 57million.
Mass immigration ‘feeds through into rising greenhouse gas emissions’ and more congestion, the experts say. The trust warns that because Britain can produce only 30 per cent of the food, energy and other goods that it needs, it will become increasingly vulnerable to ‘resource nationalism’ as foreign powers hoard their own scarce resources. ‘This imperils future national security as well as destroying the environment,’ it says.

So how do you like ‘them apples’. Thankfully, we still have plenty of land stateside but the population question is now a global one. Consider the following comment to the article.
So this is why the socialists did nothing to stop mass immigration over the years! Calling everyone who said the country might get over populated a racist, when it was obviously that only so many people can fit into a "box"! Its because they wanted more Orwellian controls over the existing population, I bet eventually the report will limit the amount of children that can be born etc soon "a la china". What does "environmentally sustainable level of population" actually mean? It means how can our centrally planned socialist mashup "economy" cope with people wanting to have children? Now they want to control how many of us exist. The UK is soon to be turned into a plantation I cant wait!
As Christians, we value every life on earth and fight to protect their rights. How do you think God would want us to address this rising need? Please add a comment.
