Japan’s demographic collapse points to grim future- Nikkei Asian Review
Irony here! The consequences of progress, development and resulting temporary middle class affluence has lowered birth rates and created a bulge of oldsters everywhere in the developed world.

Western economies are enjoying an artificially sustained level of demand because oldsters are able to continue purchasing and paper over the underlying economic rot in globalizing, developing economies.
When today's bulge of oldsters totter off to their well-deserved oblivion, the final harm we have been orchestrating - the economic and political Armageddon already on the horizon, will rush in.
But wait! Will this grim business happen soon enough to prevent the alternative described by George Monbiot in Heat : the prospect of human beings cooking themselves and much else alive?
