If you think our air polluted, traffic gridlocked, and crowded cities are bad now, you ain't seen nothin' yet! We're about to dump another 100,000,000 people, net gain, into the USA within 28 years.
What's astounding to me stems from the fact that our president and Congress continue exploding our population to unimaginable, unsustainable numbers. Can California sustain another 20 million immigrants? Can New York City handle another 10 million residents? What happens when Florida doubles from 20 million to 40 million as projected by the Population Reference Bureau?
Here in Colorado where I live, it's a driving nightmare to travel to a ski resort or camping in the summer. And, we're about to add 3,000,000 people! We don't have the water, but don't let that stop the "pro-growth" development firms from building Denver into another 2,000,000 more people!
When you realize that Catastrophic Climate Destabilization will devastate entire species that cannot adapt fast enough, and droughts that linger for years--you realize that we're in for one nasty, ugly ride.
"The U.S. will set a record in the rate of rise and fall of an empire.

Mobs will rule the streets in the nation that is now the third largest in the world and unable to support its population except by taking resources from other countries." Arnold Toynbee, historian
