While none of them have addressed the loss of unfathomable amounts of
water that used to cover the planet.

Absence of potable water will be the death of us all.

The planet is overpopulated. We need a good war to kill off 55% of the
current inhabitants, preferably all those leaning left of common sense and
reason.

Not while there is still beer.

Nope.

“We need to watch out for population collapse. Some people think that
the world has too many humans—but that’s just because they live in a
city. All humans on earth could fit in the city of New York on one
floor. It’s not exactly a secret, low birth rates and population
collapse are a big risk. This is not a good way to end.”
