Population

Scientific American says population is “the most overlooked and essential strategy for achieving long-term balance with the environment.” Developed nations “consume 32 times more resources ... put out 32 times more waste” than emerging nations.

Yet we’re adding 60 million new people a month on a planet that lacks sufficient resources to feed the 10 billion predicted for 2050. We need to stabilize or reduce population. But so far less, that seems impossible.
