The problem with the human population is not that there isn't enough space on the world for them to live on. Trust Thomas Sowell - one of the dumbest men ever to have a successful writing career - to make that argument.
And he's not even wrong that the earth can support more people than we currently have. He just goes about arguing his point in a very dumb way.

The funniest thing about this whole issue is that hemp is the most efficient form of ethanol fuel yet it is illegal for American farmers to grow, we have to import it. People can't even get high off hemp. This is a prime example of why government should just get the hell out of the way because in the end, they don't know what the market wants.

In high school, we were told that mass famines would happen “any day now†because our population is out of control and we don’t have enough food for everyone. (Didn’t happen but filled us with fear.)
All of the people who died in recent famines apologize for ruining your high school years.

Desnoxvu has a good point.
1 acre of hemp = 4.1 acres of trees. tell me why it's better to cut down trees instead
It's much more time and resource efficient to use hemp for everything we need trees for.

A lot of the world leaders including US office holders firmly believe in population control. Maybe someone should ask them why China who has less land and natural resources is having faster economic growth than the US who has a lot less people.

In college I was told we are approaching “peak oil†and soon we would run out of oil and, again, calamities will happen. (Didn’t happen.)
Peak oil has possibly occurred already. We aren't positive yet in part thanks to the economic downturn which has reduced demand. So the fact that production has been below peak for the past few years my be because of that or some other "noise" in the production.
And it won't be an immediate calamity as the oil production levels are still pretty high for quite a while. So even if we are at a peak, it could be another 5-10-20 years before we really feel the effects aside from steadily creeping up prices for everything that depends on oil.
Regardless, there is most likely a fixed amount of oil in the ground, and at some point we will extract all of it that can be extracted at a lower energy cost than it takes to extract. So peak oil is going to happen, it just matters how far off it is and if we will transition to a different fuel source before it really hurts.

In the 70's we were told over and over that ALL of the oil would be gone by 2000. Not peak oil - there would be none left.

You were also told Santa Claus was real...
Since the 70's the technology to find and extract oil has improved... The effort/ resources to find and extract oil have gone up. I don't think you understand the term 'peak oil' and as a result Somone lied to you to help you understand the situation...
Next time don't be so stubborn and stupid and people won't have to lie to you...
