Well Liberal Larry I think we can agree on most points:
1 - There are some areas of the globe where overpopulation is in fact a legitimate concern. I have never contended that assertion. Indeed, in the article itself it says that population increases are in areas that can least afford it. It is possible that California is one of these places, although I’m not certain of that. I think the advanced US economy will not allow famine or starvation. But we can agree to disagree on that point.
2 - One of the areas where the ‘population explosion’ clearly is NOT a problem is in the developed world - Europe, North America, and East Asia. This is the main focus of the article in question. It talks about raising fertility in Europe, where the population is indeed quickly graying and decreasing - presenting major problems for those societies.
I don’t really see what the controversy is here. What are we arguing about? Population is increasing in the developing world, which may be a problem. The article in question does not dispute that. It is NOT an issue in the developed world. Something needs to be done to correct this imbalance. Issue solved, I believe?
Yes.
