That being the case, it is ridiculous to say with a straight face that the world is over populated. That is not to say that there are not ecological issues facing our era which are not being effectively addressed.

Do we want another 100 million americans. It comes to a point that all the people to take care of, the quality of life reaches the african model or indian model. Even if this world could support 20 billion, would we want to? What would be the lifestyle of it's inhabitants? It depends if you want quantity instead of quantity for your grandchildren. allan

How can anybody pretend otherwise? Interestingly, when a culture is more advanced, the families have less children.

It population silly. Even you must be able to see the problem with waste in a 400/500 million people USA, or a 14 billion earth population. I guess the question is, do you want quality or quantity for your grandchildren? allan

Do you think with a world population of 1 billion in stead of 6 billlion there would be global warming, unless it is a natural cycle, then it does not matter 100 humans or 100 billion. Second, it does make sense that we would have less babies as our population became very healthy. Nature tends to adjust mankind, like every other creature, to the circumstances. In a small pond, the fish grow much smaller than in a large pond. Same exact effect. Chinese/japanese suffered such fate too!. Allan
