| It is with gratitude for your magnanimous commitment and representative service to Mankind, that i write to you.
| |
| | |
| Please, accept our gratitude for your support of our petition and for your generous offer(http://www.thepetitionsite.com/2/world-wide-birth-control) - '"Five Short Blasts" is a 'must-read', indeed!
| |
| | |
| Your website provides comprehensive and objective data on the state of our global affairs and offers a sound and humane alternative.
| |
| Thank you, also for that.
| |
| | |
| | |
| Sir,
| |
| | |
| I have joined a small group of citizens, with great concern for the Human Beings on Earth and for the Earth itself, to address you with a request of endorsement.
| |
| | |
| It is now indeed clear, that the Greatest threat to Mankind and Earth comes from the OverPopulation of Humans - as you have been so regularly and so rationally underlining it in your work and publications - which is growing now at an exponential rate.
| |
|
| |
| Please seriously consider the enclosed document TO EARTH HUMANS, which can be consulted also here:

| |
| | |
| This document is going forward to the US Ambassadors in every Nation, to President Obama, to Vice-President Biden, and to Secretary of State Clinton.
| |
| It will as well be forwarded to all countries and their gouvernments; to all major NGO's dealing with population and development; to influencal citizens and international figures, like Reverend Desmond Tutu; to retired exceptional senior leaders - through their foundations, like Mr Nelson Mandela, Mr. Al gore... - and other individuals, known for their commitment to global issues - Bono Box of U2, Bob Geldof, Angelina Joli...

| | |
| I also took the liberty to add here a video presentation of this issue, made by one of our volunteers, Mr. Barreto:

| Billion people face famine by mid-century, says top US scientist
| |
| | |
| From Times Online
| |
| March 23, 2009
| |
| | |
| “Famines affecting a billion people will threaten global food security during the 21st century, according to a leading US scientist.
| |
| | |
| Nina Fedoroff, the US State Department chief scientist, is convinced that food shortages will be the biggest challenge facing the world as temperatures and population levels rise. Food security in the coming years, she said, is “a huge problem” that has been met with little more than complacency. “We are asleep at the switch,” she said.
| |
| | |
| Her warning echoes comments by John Beddington, Britain’s chief scientist, last week in which he forecast a “perfect storm” of food, water and energy shortages by 2030.
| |
| | |
| Dr Fedoroff, who advises Hillary Clinton, said famines that strike a billion people are quite possible in a world where climate change has damaged food production and the human population has risen to nine billion.
| |
| | |
| Population levels have already exceeded seven billion and are expected to rise to nine billion by the middle of the century unless action is taken.”

| Earth population 'exceeds limits'

| " There are already too many people living on Planet Earth, according to one of most influential science advisors in the US government.
| |
| | |
| Nina Fedoroff told the BBC One Planet programme that humans had exceeded the Earth's "limits of sustainability".
| |
| | |
| Dr Fedoroff has been the science and technology advisor to the US secretary of state since 2007, initially working with Condoleezza Rice.
| |
| | |
| Under the new Obama administration, she now advises Hillary Clinton.
| |
| | |
| "We need to continue to decrease the growth rate of the global population; the planet can't support many more people," Dr Fedoroff said, stressing the need for humans to become much better at managing "wild lands", and in particular water supplies. "

| - This petition has it the same way:
| |
| | |
| "In the 6 seconds it takes you to read this sentence 24 people will be added to the earth population; before you've finished this, that number will reach 1000; within an hour 11,000; by day's end 260,000; before you go to bed two nights from now the net growth in human numbers will be enough to fill a city the size of san francisco.
| |
| It took 4 million years for humanity to reach the 2 billion mark; only 30 years to add a third billion and now we are increasing by 100 million every single year.
| |
| | |
| No wonder they call it the human race.

| | |
| Solution birth control: quality of life not quantity...
| |
| | |
| Take action! Improve the life of mankind! Save your world!"

|
| |
| Honorable Mr. Murphy,
| |
| | |
| We certainly need to break that taboo hanging above the topic of human reproduction, population, respecting overpopulation.
| |
| More emphasis must be put on the crucial role played by overpopulation in the current, deplorable state of our global affairs.
| |
|
| |
| We indeed all know that everything needs management; ourselves and our number are not and can not be an exception.
| |
| Nothing is endless and all requires rational use, care and maintenance - including earth’s resources.
| |
| The shortages of clean water, food, minerals and other basic life’s items, pollution and the destruction of the environment are nowadays more obvious that never before.
| |
|
| |
| We, Humans, and the ways we go about life, put too much stress on Earth.
| |
|
| |
| In addition to that, we now know, that the end of the petroleum age is quickly approaching: http://www.theyfly.com/VOLCANOES.htm
| |
|
| |
| | |
| This world definitely needs a worldwide, democratic - valid for all individuals, social classes and nations - rational, responsible, scientific and rigorously monitored birth control.
| |
|
| |
| Some, however, may say, “multiply yourself” is written in The Book.
| |
| Indeed: Genesis 1:22:
| |
| God blessed them and said, “Be fruitful and increase in number and fill the water in the seas, and let the birds increase on the earth.”.
| |
|
| |
| We shall argue, that reason, common sense are also given to us so that we can know, judge and decide when we ‘have multiplied enough’.
| |
|
| |
| And again, the Commandment could as well be: “multiply yourself in and with wisdom, reason, knowledge, humaneness...” - besides, if we keep procreating the way we now do, there wouldn’t be much animals, fish, trees, “birds left on the earth”!
| |
|
| |
| It‘s a shame that the governments of the countries, but also the political parties in general, as well as commerce cannot, or will not, acknowledge “the signs on the wall”, i.e. the overpopulation problem and the interconnected threat to our future, and therefore they do not grapple with at the root of the problem.
| |
|
| |
| And the fact that most of the so-called environmental protection organizations, as well as the main religions, shy away from becoming active and recognizing and clearly naming overpopulation as the main problem and multiplier/disseminator for the other big problems like famine, climate change, migration, wars, epidemics, criminality, etc., is extremely scandalous.
| |
|
| |
| Please, do endorse us and, most importantly, do advocate in a still stronger fashion a rational, democratic and scientific world wide birth control.
