Not because we're running out of resrouces, but ass a natural consequence of globalisation and increasing capitalism in the less developed world. In short wealthier societies breed less - and virtually all 1st world nations now fail to reproduce the 2.1 children per female required to sustain the population. As the 2nd and 3rd world becomes more affluent, they will go the same way. In 100 years time the perceived problem may well be declining population.<br /><br />In reference to Attenborough's comments, a population decline will more likely come as a result of more economic development and capitalism, not less as he seems to be proposing.MarkThttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06199883270652041621noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11906042.post-1662590816989850622013-01-23T10:48:48.330+13:002013-01-23T10:48:48.330+13:00The Voluntary Extinction Movement is about not bre...The Voluntary Extinction Movement is about not breeding, right?<br /><br />I think I can safely predict he won't be doing too much of that.<br /><br />Limiting growth is also a fair bit better than limiting...Graeme Edgelerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03928755583921638414noreply@blogger.com
