But the capitas are DEcreasing already in the developed world!
(Immigration is just a shuffling around, not increasing the overall number.)

You should know that I'm opposed to this clown.

If humans are steered by their reptilian brain, why is the population
growth in developed countries (without immigration) already negative?

Keith is peddling neo-con cave-man propaganda. It is true that neo-cons
are steered by their reptilian brain, but fortunately that doesn't apply
to civilized people. The challenge is to prevent the reptilian brains
from taking society back to the stone age and committing mass murder.
Spreading their propaganda and even asserting that everyone is like them
doesn't help to prevent that!

Well, let's see: www.footprintnetwork.org --> About Us --> At A Glance:
"Our efforts are fueled by a future vision in which human demand
on nature is monitored as closely as the stock market."
There you have it: That's the language of stock-broker speculators.

I didn't find that. But I know that the president of the Global Footprint
Network foundation in Switzerland is André Hoffmann, who happens to be
vice-president of pharma-chemical corporation Hoffmann-LaRoche in Basel --
a polluter boss if there ever was one.
