A brief history of population control
From: The Environmentalist’s Dilemma
$1.00
This chapter begins with the discussion that our insatiable “Western” appetites for consumption are more urgent problems than overpopulation. The chapter ends reporting that 2020 Lancet predictions are that due to world-wide women’s education and access to contraception will lead to the world’s population peaking at 9.73 billion in 2064.
