       Fair enough. I would call it population decline myself. Just a
       slow unravelling of the post world war 2 population
       explosion/disaster.

       Here's some math for you.
       Hazards of living near oil refineries
       It's okay - they're brown.
  HTML https://pha.berkeley.edu/2021/04/11/refinery-pollutants-and-their-effect-on-public-health/
       "The health effects of living near a refinery prove to be
       chronic and gradual. These invisible fumes creep into the lives
       of thousands, and victimizes many. According to the California
       government, some adverse health effects living near a refinery
       include: increased risk of asthma, cancers, birth defects,
       neurological damage, cardiovascular damage, difficulty
       breathing, and blood disorders. Additionally, those who live
       closer to oil refineries are statistically more at risk to
       develop these health disorders, even if they are 10 miles away.
       Minority groups are disproportionately affected by the toxic
       harm of refineries, and are often pushed into the frontlines due
       to poor city planning and wealth gaps. Latinos are 51 percent
       more likely to live in counties with unhealthy levels of ozone.
       and nearly two million are living less than half a mile from oil
       and gas facilities, a National Hispanic Medical Association
       (NHMA) report found. High poverty rates prevent these families
       from moving away from these polluted areas. To make matters
       worse, minority communities frequently have limited access to
       health care and treatment. According to a NAACP report, in many
       African American communities the air violates ozone level
       standards. Annually, members of the African American community
       experience over 101,000 lost schooldays and 138,000 asthma
       attacks due to air pollution from refineries..."
  HTML https://theconversation.com/living-near-active-oil-and-gas-wells-in-california-tied-to-low-birth-weight-and-smaller-babies-140034
       In a California study, we found that pregnant women living
       near active high-production oil and gas wells have an elevated
       chance of having low birth-weight babies. This finding adds to a
       growing body of research on potential public health impacts from
       oil and gas operations.
       We analyzed the birth records of nearly 3 million babies born to
       people living within 6.2 miles (10 kilometers) of at least one
       oil or gas well in California’s Sacramento, San Joaquin Valley,
       South Central Coast and South Coast regions – the state’s oil
       production epicenters – between 2006 and 2015.
       Our analysis found that in rural areas, pregnant women who lived
       within 0.62 miles (1 kilometer) of the highest-producing wells
       were 40% more likely to have low birth-weight babies compared to
       pregnant women living farther away from wells or near inactive
       wells only. We also found that rural women living near the
       highest-producing wells were 20% more likely to have babies who
       were small for their gestational age, which is an indication of
       reduced fetal growth.
       
  HTML https://www.theguardian.com/business/2020/feb/06/us-oil-refineries-exceeding-limits-for-cancer-causing-benzene-report-finds
       At least 10 US oil refineries have been emitting cancer-causing
       benzene above the federal government’s limits, according to a
       new report from the Environmental Integrity Project.
       The group reviewed a year of air monitoring data recorded at the
       fence lines of 114 refineries, as reported to the Environmental
       Protection Agency.
       The facilities are not breaking the law, but they are required
       by EPA to analyze the causes of the emissions and try to reduce
       them.
       Eric Schaeffer, the executive director of the Environmental
       Integrity Project, said while some refineries have made
       improvements, others are still releasing benzene at harmful
       rates.
       “Benzene comes with elevated cancer risk but also lots of
       non-cancer issues that are harder to quantify,” Schaeffer said.
       People can get sick from low levels in the long term or high
       levels in the short term.
       As I've said before, I expect every drop of oil and ton of coal
       that is recoverable - regardless of profitability - to be pumped
       and burned.  When the outright subsidies don't work the
       government will mandate the production of FF.  They will have no
       choice. Your investments will do well.
       Currently Russia is playing hardball with the EU around the gas
       shortage as it relates to both with the migrant crisis and
       Ukraine.  The colder it gets the more leverage the Russians
       have.

       Any animal needs food to survive.
       Cheap energy and resources in last 100 years have led to
       increased food for human animals, hence population explosion.
       Just like when food is exhausted due to over grazing in any
       number of examples, the decline will be rapid.
       It aint rocket surgery.

       I was trying to quote someone else, but this software always
       quotes the wrong person, so I have to post something and delete
       it, then quote the right person. This time that didn't work.
       Are contraception, abortion, mandrought/marriage drought, low
       sperm count, gender war and transgender hormone treatment the
       real horsemen of the apocalypse?
       "dieoff" by shrinking family began for European and anglosphere
       population at least 60 yrs ago. I read they went from 1 in 3
       people on earth to 1 in 7. If you consider Europe including UK
       and Russia 750m, USA 330m, Canada 30m, Oz 25m and NZ 6m? White
       south Africans 5m? Call it 1.15b, from 8b global population,
       it's about 12% before even factoring in immigrants to those
       countries and ethnic make up.  In 1900, Europe alone was about
       25% of world population
       Including the new world around 33% seems reasonable. I'm
       thinking it's probably around 10% now if there was 20%
       immigrants.
       China doesn't have any of the aforementioned horsemen that
       caused that and most international  airports that I see always
       have a lot of Chinese families with 2 or 3 children. Those would
       be living in the diaspora. Why then the extreme drop in
       fertility in the past few years in china? It isn't just rising
       standard of living, so I think it could be 5G and 6G radiation
       contributing. Trump was dreaming when he said American telco was
       working on 6G a few years ago.
       I also balk at calling this process 'dieoff', although the
       Tasmanian aborigines went extinct in the 1800s from infertility
       caused by STD. Dieoff by the definition requiring being alive to
       begin with, like grass or brain cells, might be beginning where

       Call it a "Birthoff" then if you prefer.  A Rose by any other
       name is still a Rose.  ;D
       However, you are talking about a Population here, not an
       Individual.  If you express it as a ratio Births/Deaths, if the
       number is >1 the population lives on.  <1, it dies off.  =1, it
       remains stable.  So you could call this Living On vs Living Off.
       lol.
       In other economic Newspeak, instead of saying it is shrinking or
       contracting, the popular term is "degrowing".  It's more
       palatable and less fear inducing, so that is the word that is
       used.
       To me, it matters not whether the numerator is decreasing or the
       denominator is increasing.  The ratio is still <1.  I call it a
       Dieoff.  You can call it whatever you like.

       Depopulation Trends
       By: RE Date: November 13, 2021, 3:00 am
       ---------------------------------------------------------
       Here is a short list of countries that showed a decreasing
       population from the 2010 to the 2020 Census.  There are others,
       but not important for this post on the topic.
  HTML https://worldpopulationreview.com/country-rankings/countries-with-declining-population
       The issue I will address here is why you can't REALLY use a
       compound interest formula to figure dieoff (Liveoff?  Birthoff?
       Depopulation?)
       What is done here to generate the projections from 2020-2030 is
       to ASSUME that the ~1% annual population decrease will remain
       CONSTANT through the next decade.  With only a 1% annual
       decrease, it would take quite a long time for the population of
       Homo Sap to dwindle down.  Unfortunately, this percentage is
       unlikely to remain constant at 1%.  Reason being all the
       headwinds we currently face in food production and distribution,
       all previously discussed.
       We won't know the actual average rate of depopulation for the
       2020-2030 time period until AFTER 2030.  It won't be until after
       the 2040 census (if there is one) that you might be able to
       estimate how fast or slow the percentage is moving, up or down.
       Few of us here will still be alive in 2040.
       All we can do right now is to look at the TRENDS.
