The Commission on Population Growth and the American Future
60Republican Richard Nixon elected with Rockefeller's support
In July of 1969, President Richard Nixon presented a "Special Message to the Congress on Problems of Population Growth".
In March of 1970, President Nixon signed a bill establishing the Commission on Population Growth and the American Future, known as the Rockefeller Commission, for it chairman, John D. Rockefeller 3rd.
The Commission enlisted many nationally known scientists in more than 100 research projects on the implications of population growth and distribution, and sponsored public hearings across the country. The Commission's recommendations questioned the common wisdom of the 1940s and 1950s that progress and "the good life" depend on population growth, concluding that "our country can no longer afford the uncritical acceptance of the population growth ethic that more is better" (Rockefeller Comm., 1972a, p. 1).

According to the ancient agrarian record, historically, Chinese imperial navy has been surveying the outside world every few hundred years (or dynasty).
Last reported survey was about 500 years ago; indicate that there was no cause of alarm. The recurring Black Death pandemic - bubonic plague has almost wiped out Western aboriginal; population outside of China was a few tens of millions.
But the resilient population bounced back, leading to land-grabbing policies as a result of massive famines throughout Europe, and deforested four out of seven continents for cattle and population growth, single-handedly ratchet up the speed of climate change.
Today, Caucasian population, totalling 2 billion people over 4 continents, accounts for about a third of the world population, and consume on average per head, about 9 acres of the Earth’s resources each.
Satellite images revealed that in recent years, Caucasians have started populating Greenland as well; a Greenland city is now expected in a generation’s time.
Though climatologists had warned of imminent 'man-made' global warming, yet failed to see why China controls her population growth. By the state of matter, any decomposing body will ultimately produce carbon dioxide or methane if devoid of oxygen.
Thanks to the Keeling curve on CO2 and satellite data on greenhouse gases over the decades, there can be no doubt now, that human activity on Planet Earth is changing climate levels.
World population will have to return to pre-industrial level. Any population which sustains a negative rate of growth will halve; else nature will take her revenge.
Earth system science believes that human interference to planet Earth carbon cycle on land and at sea affects the ocean circulation, the stratosphere and its ozone layer, and the ice of the cryosphere. The Earth’s functioning system is now close to breakdown.
