Haber Process

    Have you ever been to New York City? Have you ever seen how crowded it is? Well if the population keeps growing the way it does, it could be like that everywhere. But with far less food. I think the Haber Process is a fantastic thing. I fully support anything that could provide man kind with resources for a little longer. And that is artificial nitrogen fertilizer. The only relevant thing I saw that opposed that was when Alan Weisman said “Before artificial nitrogen fertilizer became widely available, the world’s population was around 2 billion, when we no longer have it—or if we ever decide to stop using it—that may be a number to which our own naturally gravitates.” But why would we want to stop using it? If it is still providing us with resources, why stop a good thing? Yes, I do get that the population is growing to unlivable numbers. But that universal one child policy sounds pretty good. If we are really THAT worried about our population becoming out of control, why wouldn’t you support it? I get that babies are cute and everything but they’re obviously not helping the world by just being alive. There’s so many things that could reduce the Total fertility rate. Like is it really that hard to use birth control? Like it’s something that’s very useful that we can use to our advantage but we don’t and we have more and more children because of it. But I think the Haber process is very useful. Let’s maximize the amount of food we can grow until we can’t grow anymore. So maybe we’ll have somewhat of a surplus.
