Tucker Carlson Observes that Red China Now Promotes Population Growth

Introduced in 1979, China’s one-child policy was seen abroad as an overreach of communist government controlling the people, even though that nation has basic resource problems that should have brought environmental limits more gently into the public conversation.

One memorable example of overpopulation was the government’s reallocation of Beijing-area water for the 2008 Summer Olympics […]

Drought-Prone, Overpopulated California Is Slow to Adopt Water Storage

Democrat-run California didn’t learn much from the recent five-year drought that left many reservoirs close to empty.

Below, the depleted Almaden Reservoir near San Jose, California, in February 2014.

This year’s rainy season has seen the skies open up and dump incredible quantities of the wet stuff, which is always welcome in the drought-prone […]

California’s Water Problems Continue as Depleted Groundwater Causes Subsidence and Canal Failure

Water supply continues to be a worrisome thing in California, where the memory of the historic five-year drought remains strong. Now we learn that the drought plus overuse of groundwater has caused so much subsidence in the Central Valley that a large stretch of a gravity-run canal no longer works.

Drought-plagued Cape Town Considers Importing an Iceberg to Increase Water Supply

To serious water worriers, the extreme drought situation in Cape Town South Africa has been a forecast of bad things to come in the overpopulated future. Regions with more people than their rainfall can support are at risk for water shortages, particularly when even alleged environmentalists like California Gov. Jerry Brown think additional millions of […]

Limiting Immigration Is Considered in the Washington Post

It’s always welcome when someone approaches the immigration issue from the viewpoint of America’s needs, rather than the Third Worlders’ incessant demands to be admitted. Michael Anton got some attention for asking that question a few days ago: Why do we need more people in this country, anyway?

Why, indeed?

Immigration-fueled overpopulation must be recognized […]

California Snowpack Report Suggests a Return to Drought

The winter rainy season is drawing to a close here in California, and it’s been disappointing. Nearly all of the state’s water comes from rain that falls from October through March, so water worriers (nearly all residents after the brutal five-year drought) are concerned. We were rescued by a near-record rainy season in 2016-17 but […]

Tucker Carlson Argues Immigration Numbers — Politely

Immigrant Pablo Manriquez challenged the border-defender Fox News host in a recent Huffpo article, Why Tucker Carlson Should Debate Me On Immigration (July 13). So a “gentlemanly” debate ensued on Tuesday, where Tucker brought up the overriding issue first thing — the numbers. If America admitted 50,000 legal immigrants annually (or ZERO ideally as the […]

California’s Drought Crisis Measures Omit Agriculture

It’s hard to be positive about the future of California. The state is run entirely by Democrats who have made very bad decisions about resources in the past and continue to now. The have pursued diverse growth at any cost despite claiming concern about the environment. The Dems have ignored the Medieval mega-droughts that occurred […]

Rapid Population Growth Returns to California

The failing economy of the once-Golden State has perked up enough to start drawing newbies once again, with more than 300,000 new residents in the last year. California had unemployment over 10 percent for four years, so October’s 8.7 percent joblessness indicates the uptick that is so attractive to outsiders.

In San Francisco, the tech […]

Senate Immigration Plotters Overlook Water Supply

The big suits in Washington are currently licking their chops in anticipation of passing a monstrous immigration bill that would increase US population by tens of millions over the next decade. Jamming in a Canada-sized bunch of new shoppers should goose up the GDP pretty good, business types agree!

Meanwhile out in the country, the […]

Texas Drought Puts Water Supply Front and Center, but Ignores Demand Side

The Lone Star state is suffering a terrible drought, and as often the case, the issue is portrayed as agriculture vs. people, which is true up to a point. But while droughts come and go (along with floods), immigration-fueled population growth is going only one way — up.

Texas has known terrible droughts, like […]
