	The Population Bomb ... Defused (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
		The ingredients in the population bombers' brew are as strange as those used in witchcraft: eye of newt, crushed bat wings, and whatever else it is they toss in the pot, except the population bombers mix a concoction of Malthusianism, socialism, and econontic globaloney that emerges from their kettle as an oracle of doom.
		But the population growth rates of the African countries, East and West Germany, the Koreas, and the Pacific rim countries were pretty much the same from 1960 to 1986.
		Indeed, coping with fluctuations in population is in many ways less demanding than dealing with the almost daily uncertainties of the harvest, or the ups and downs of the business cycle, or the vagaries of political life.

	The Exploding Population: World Population and its Impact
		While population growth in much of the developed world has declined or even reversed as a result of the "demographic transition" accompanying higher living standards and better education, the developing world is caught in a vicious cycle of exploitation which results in poverty, hunger, lack of education, population growth and habitat destruction.
		Population measures aimed at voluntary contraception, education, family-planning, empowerment of women to have autonomy over their own fertility and reproductive process, and the providing of economic circumstances in which full education and autonomy is possible.
		About 80 per cent of the world population lives in less developed countries and 74 of these countries are on a course to double their populations over the next 30 years.

	Ehrlich's Population Bomb
		Of course, population growth is not occurring uniformly over the face of the Earth.
		It is important to emphasize, however, that the demographic transition does not result in zero population growth, but in a growth rate which in many of the most important ODCs results in populations doubling every seventy years or so.
		A population will continue to grow as long as the birth rate exceeds the death rateif immigration and emigration are not occurring.

		"One of the reasons why the population bomb didn't go off is because some of the warnings were heeded, and the US and other donor nations started programs to help couples choose how and when to have kids in the developing world," says Tod Preston, senior advisor with advocacy group Population Action International.
		Like many experts on population issues, Preston is less concerned with the US than with developing nations, who are the main contributors to a runaway world population of 6.5 billion.
		Population experts like Preston say that this is not because family planning doesn't work - it does - or that people in developing countries don't want contraceptives - they do, even in strongly Catholic or Muslim nations - but for domestic political reasons.

	The Human Population Bomb
		If we observe that the propagation of the global human population is like the wave, and the reproduction numbers of individuals or certain locales are like the molecules, it may be inaccurate for the latter to be looked at as if it tells us something meaningful about the former.
		The possible reasons behind population growth rates and numbers have seemed complex, obscure, numerous, or even unknowable, so that a strategy to address what could be a clear and present danger has been thought to be all but impossible to develop, let alone implement.
		To have suggested, as many scientists have done, that understanding the dynamics of human population does not matter, that the human population problem is not about numbers, or that human population dynamics have so dizzying an array of variables as not to be suitable for scientific investigation, in a way seems not quite right.

	The Population Bomb
		The basic premise is that despite the emotional and logistic turmoil of the population being decreased by some 80%, humanity and the world would be happier for it.
		There are too many of us, and that, above all else, is what makes us vulnerable; population pressures lead to war (no longer just a childish spat between villages that leaves both sides able to reform in quick order), poisoning of air and water, and alteration of weather and climate.
		Population growth is an almost straight line correlation to wealth and personal security, and in the exact opposite direction to that which Malthus believed.

		Global Europe's solution to the world population "problem" was more internecine warfare but those were not depleting the populations of Africa and Asia fast enough.
		The latest, most sinister weapon to be introduced in the population war is psychological contraception, an attempt to convince Global Africa's women (Black women world-wide) that it is in their interest not to have children.

		The message to children, provided by proponents of sex education without the courtesy of having the parents agree upon it, is obvious; the world is awash in excess poor population, and something has to be done about it in a hurry, starting at the nearest abortion clinic.
		In many instances population may in fact be economically beneficial, and tending to a long-term increase of arable land and per capita (rather than per corporation) income.
		Also noted is a current usage of approximately three-tenths of one percent of the planet's surface for human habitation, an amount sustainable with no limit to growth on sight.

	Paul Ehrlich (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
		In the prologue to The Population Bomb he wrote, "The battle to feed all of humanity is over.
		Believing that the United States could only support a population of 150 million, Ehrlich proposed that "luxury taxes could be placed on layettes, cribs, diapers, diaper services, [and] expensive toys..." and suggested giving "responsibility prizes" to couples who went at least five years without having children or to men who got vasectomies.
		In a nutshell what Ehrlich did was take population growth for the 1960s and extrapolate it out through the 1970s, but he insisted production of resources such as food and water were at their limits -- both would likely decline, and certainly not increase.

		If the predictions in Paul Ehrlich's 1968 best seller, The Population Bomb, had been near the mark, Americans would be eating their dogs and children by now and yearning for a condominium — a little elbow room — on the moon.
		Not only did the bomb fail to blow, but demographers now forecast a different sort of crisis: Developed nations whose birthrates have plummeted to unprecedented lows face social and economic upheaval because of declining numbers and a rapidly increasing elderly population that has no parallel in history.
		In Japan, where the population is predicted to plummet from 127 million to 105 million by 2050, the proportion of senior citizens will likely grow to 32% from 17%.

		The Population Institute claims that these 130 million births have resulted in an addition of 78 million people to the earth's population, but this too is a reduction from the 87 million annual increases during 1985-1990.
		The solution to poverty in developing nations is not to be found in abortion and sterilization; the family in need requires concrete training in providing for the family, not destroying it.
		Instead of complaining about "food deficit" countries, the Population Institute should focus on the UN statement that "the world as a whole faced no major constraints in increasing food production by as much as necessary to meet the growth of effective demand," and the sixty percent increase in food production per person in developing countries.

	The Population Explosion by Paul R. Ehrlich & Anne H. Ehrlich
		The Population Explosion vividly describes how the Earth's population, growing by 95 million people a year, is rapidly depleting the planet's resources, resulting in famine, global warming, acid rain, and other major problems.
		The key to understanding overpopulation is not population density but the numbers of people in an area relative to its resources and the capacity of the environment to sustain human activities; that is, to the area's carrying capacity.
		When its population can't be maintained without rapidly depleting nonrenewable resources (or converting renewable resources into nonrenewable ones) and without degrading the capacity of the environment to support the population.

		The population “bomb,” as it came to be known, was in full swing.
		Thus, when we quote the UN to say that “world population will rise to 9.1 billion” in 2050, we should at least be aware of the hundreds of assumptions that must come true to realise that figure.
		Higher fertility in northern states, states which happen to have large populations and high levels of illiteracy, may cause much higher population growth than is generally expected, particularly if fertility decline in those states is slower than it was in the better-educated south.

	Western Consumption and the Population Bomb
		Although limiting population size by introducing birth control to developing nations would likely help the population problem, it should also be noted that the two largest populations on the planet are found in India and China, which are both considered industrialized nations.
		Because the annual population growth in non-industrial (or “third world”) nations is far greater than their western, industrialized counterparts, this appears to be, on the surface, a valuable explanation.
		Should population continue to increase at its current pace, it seems theoretically inevitable that the consequences of both over-expansion of populations and over-consumption by the privileged will be severe.
