What is the future for Europe?

[GRUNHERZ]

Just saw on CNN.

A new study predicts that the worlds polulation will go up by 45% by 2050..

Asia will increase by 39%.

The  USA alone will increase by 43%.

Europe will decrease by 8%.

What is Europe going to do with such a dramatically declining population? This will tremendously affect your relevance inn the world. As I was born in Europe and will always feel a great attachment to my old home, I'm quite worried..

Dont worry, read a book written thousands of years ago ,It will tell ya all about it. 50 years from now,well I dont know for sure ,but I suspect we wont have to worry about that either.

If they want more population they can just let in more immigrants from Asia and Africa: they are plenty trying to get in.

[GRUNHERZ]

Immigration trends were factored into the study, most US gains are from that.

People who are dedicated to that book have been saying that same kind of thing for nearly all of those couple of thousand years and they all "knew" they were right whereas those before were wrong.

i must therefore conclude that this is a bate

I have disagreements with the direction europe is taking and I express them.

Geography lesson nr1: Europe = many different countries

Political lesson nr1: The countries in europe are not run by one party so the imigration policies varies from country to country.

You should not comment on Europe as one entity, so you should direct the questions towards the individual countries.

[GRUNHERZ]

Europe is becoming one entity, the EU is a clear sign of that.  As a whole your poulation is rapidly declining, which is going to be a huge problem to your relevance in the world.

What do you think about that? Or are you just trying t0o change the subject and ignore the issue?

Well if America grows by 43%. (Where are all these babies coming from?) It will be overpopulated so you can all come to Europe. There'll be plenty of room.

[Toad]

Yeah, it's REALLY getting crowded here!

Wyoming is up to 5 people per square mile now!

[Lizking]

And that is about all that it can support, Toad.  If you think overpopulation in the US is not a problem and a reality, you are mistaken.

[demaw1]

stop overpopulation.....close the border

[Toad]

Really?

How much time have you spent in Wyoming?

(It all depends on your definition of "support" I think.)
