#China's #population drops for second year, with record low #birth rate
The country's retirement-age population, aged 60 and over, is expected to increase to more than 400 million by 2035 - more than the entire population of the United States - from about 280 million people currently.
The state-run Chinese Academy of Sciences sees the #pension #system running out of money by 2035.
Population reduction is good for the #environment. Perpetual growth is nonsense on a finite planet. Why not solve this problem now while we are still doing relatively well? I forgot, because it means work for politicians and they're not so good at that. Besides, many people don't want to change and adapt and believe that everything was better in the past. We used to cause the problems in the past that are now threatening to ruin our #future!

A quotation from Bradbury, Ray
We are cups, constantly and quietly being filled.
The trick is knowing how to tip ourselves over and let the beautiful stuff out.
Ray Bradbury (1920-2012) American writer, futurist, fabulist
“The Secret Mind,” The Writer (1965-11)

GDP Per Capita & National Mean IQ for 240 Countries & Dependencies, using Pearson Sample Correlation Coefficient, 2023.
This demonstrates that as mean IQ goes down, GDP Per Capita also goes down, or conversely, as mean IQ goes UP, GDP Per Capita also goes up, with a 0.63 (strong) correlation.
This is in relationship to the graph provided at the following link: https://iviv.hu/posts/1527586

Correlative Trend Between GDP Per Capita & National Mean IQ for 240 Countries and Dependencies, 2023.
Logic suggests that the higher the mean IQ a people-group exhibits, the more capable they will be to discover, invent, implement, maintain, grow & iterate the complex, interacting societal systems that support economic development & wealth creation.

Toujours plus - La demande mondiale de pétrole n’a jamais été aussi élevée
https://www.liberation.fr/economie/la-demande-mondiale-de-petrole-na-jamais-ete-aussi-elevee-20230811_IH24BJWPGJCLLETZYFEB2HQ6HE/
L’Agence internationale de l’énergie estime que la demande de pétrole va atteindre son «niveau le plus élevé jamais enregistré» en 2023 avec 102,2 millions de barils par jour en moyenne.
Merci pour ce titre #Libé, le tag #ToujoursPlus est mon préféré. C'est celui qui nous emmène de plus en plus vite au bord du gouffre.
son «niveau le plus élevé jamais enregistré» en 2023
Oui, et une #chute vertigineuse juste après, irréversible, et fatale.
Attachez vos ceintures.
«La demande mondiale de pétrole atteint des sommets records, stimulée par les voyages aériens estivaux, l’utilisation accrue de fioul dans la production d’électricité et la montée en flèche de l’activité pétrochimique chinoise», explique l’AIE.
T'es bien parti en #vacances ? De préférence loin ? En #SUV ? En #Avion ? Ben tant mieux pour toi. Ça te fera d'autant plus bizarre quand tu devras planter tes patates pour manger, ou mourir.
Et sinon : Jean-Baptiste #FRESSOZ est historien des #sciences, des techniques et de l' #environnement, ainsi que chercheur au #CNRS, nous rappelle qu'il faut faire face à la #vérité : la transition énergétique n'aura pas lieu.
Tu m'étonnes. ^^
