There is absolutely no evidence of over population. Didn't Erlichs predict in 1968 that by 1985 there would be a world wide famine, the American midwest would become a desert, the oceans would "die", and so on and so forth?

Like the people that said we were going to run out of oil by the year 2000 and that oceans would rise 20 feat by the year 2010, there will always be someone trying to sell the end of the world because it's a really good business model (if you can handle the morality of creating fear and then living off of it). It's been happening since recorded history. The truth of the matter is that we are all going to die, and while we should be good stewards of the earth, we don't need to develop a phobia about it. The earth will keep spinning, dumb people will be dumb, smart people will be smart, and the rest will muddle along like always.

“There is absolutely no evidence of over population.”

Agree, but it suits them for some reason, to believe otherwise.
