Article on #PopulationDecline in #London and elsewhere in #England (there's a link to data for various local authority areas to compare with the national average).
Even in #Ipswich which is slightly above the average, I see way fewer kids around than even 5 or 6 years ago..

Will Humanity’s Future Be Cosmic Exploration Or A.I. Slop Robots?
Humanity has the potential for greatness. We also have the potential to destroy ourselves either through the most obvious methods of traditional warfare and nuclear annihilation, or by various longer-term means. One of these longer-term means is a much newer, yet possibly greater existential threat, but I’ll get to that later on after I discuss something more positive. A few weeks ago there was a fantastic gathering of experts in Boulder, Colorado. It was the “Humans to Titan Summit […] -

“Using official Croatian census data as a reference, [the researchers] analysed three global population datasets across seven Croatian cities to investigate how population allocation differs between built-up and non-built-up areas.
Although the datasets often produced similar population totals, their spatial allocation differed substantially. GHS-POP concentrated over 1 million more inhabitants within built-up areas, while WorldPop allocated approximately 290,000 more inhabitants to non-built-up land-cover classes, demonstrating how similar population totals can mask substantial differences in spatial population patterns.
The question is not only how many people are estimated, but also where the model places them…”

I'm noticing *way less* outdoor LED Christmas lights both in the village I work in and my outer suburban home streets this year.
I don't even think its cost of electricity (LED lights don't use that much power, and the per-unit price has dropped compared to a few years ago), but an effect of #ageing population and #populationDecline - there are considerably fewer #children around the streets, and the older folk who tend to put them up are increasingly less mobile due to age and don't want to take risks scaling ladders etc as even a minor fall could be life-threatening..

CG Co-Director Melinda Mills spoke at The #Fiduciary #Investors Symposium, warning that a shrinking #European #population will trigger significant changes in #economic growth & #investor opportunities.

Becuse my elderly father likes to bring his latest existential dread to me, I've been reading about #DemographicCollapse / #PopulationDecline & even some #leftist writers seem to ignore that we spent the last century worried about a #malthusian disaster.
Obviously, it's a real problem, but are there good sources I can read/watch that aren't going to lead me to #doomerism?

🚨BREAKING NEWS: Humans are apparently not multiplying like bunnies anymore, and the UN is shocked! 🤯 Maybe it's because one in five people can barely afford to feed themselves, let alone another mouth. But don't worry, the BBC's got you covered with more than enough menus to distract from the impending "human extinction." 🍿

“It is no accident that the Russian Duma has recently adopted special legislation criminalizing the “propaganda of child-free life,” with the speaker of the house, Vyacheslav Volodin, stating, “It is important to protect people, primarily the younger generation, from having the ideology of childlessness imposed on them on the internet, in the media, in movies, and in advertising.””

Only 1449 #babies were born in #Ipswich #Suffolk last year, down from 1516 in 2022. Birth rates in #England and #Wales are the lowest since 1977!
I have recently had to visit the Maternity Block at Ipswich Hospital to help put up a radio antenna there (its one of the tallest buildings in the area), one thing I noticed was how empty the whole place was and that most of the upper floors are now unused.

#Pakistan's 4 wild #parakeet species have suffered precipitous #PopulationDecline in recent decades, with their current numbers a mere fragment of what they used to be, #wildlife expert Anis Rehman tells #Anadolu.
#HumanBehavior is mostly to blame for their decline into locally #endangered status, as local communities and others have engaged in #poaching and #trafficking of the prized #birds, while also cutting down the old hollow trees where they nest.
The solution lies in a 'strict' #ban on the poaching and smuggling of parakeets until their population recovers, according to Rab Nawaz of World Wide Fund for #Nature #WWF Pakistan, who said that if these are contained, parakeet populations could recover in 'a few years'.

“Microplastics found in every human testicle in study. Scientists say discovery may be linked to decades-long decline in sperm counts in men around the world.” That’s a bit of a balls up. #fertility #populationdecline
