We've done some deep dive reports on this show you and I together about some hot button topics.

The origins of eugenics in the US and England, even the origins of what we're being told is this current climate crisis, tracking it back to the club of Rome and

how they decided that they would choose human beings as kind of the cause of the climate crisis.

They decide that was decided upon, it was written about in a book well when we see headlines like this in Bloomberg I think it's time for us to go a little deeper in this conversation earth needs fewer people to beat the climate crisis scientists

This guy sounds like a fun guy to party with.

So what, so obviously his idea, I mean from that concept there but also from his body of work is the population has

Carring capacity the earth has carrying capacity and this population must be maintained or if it comes out of balance
