Whilst I fully agree with D&C104, there is more that could be done to protect the environment. Most of this depletion has been done by the so called 'industrialised countries' in third world nations. Most of the developed countries would not explode their resources, i.e. oil or wood, but have no qualms on imposing minimum 'quotas of production' to other nations. The resources needed to feed an ever increasing population are enormous and while the Earth has plenty, it is the administration of wealth that has failed. The so called 'industrial nations' have a lot to be held responsible for the depletion of the world most valuable resources.AlexGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09419111994859972886noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7139169.post-1110384609523811562005-03-09T10:10:00.000-06:002005-03-09T10:10:00.000-06:00I completely agree with your essay "Is Human Popul...I completely agree with your essay "Is Human Population Really the Problem?"<br /><br />If there were less corrupt governments and less of a divide between rich and poor, many of the social maladies of poorer countries would be nominal.<br /><br />Proponents of population reduction could do more for this world by refocusing their energies of ridding the world of corrupt governments and closing the gap between rich and poor.Kim Sieverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17063425850647687800noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7139169.post-1110372543544410812005-03-09T06:49:00.000-06:002005-03-09T06:49:00.000-06:00Yeah.

They gave us the "population bomb" scare for quite some time there, but with abortion and limiting families in general, birthrates have plummeted so much that most people won't be fooled by that one anymore. I did see the U.N. running up that tired old flag in China, where they might be more apt to believe it still. Here, they've had to move on to the global warming scare....<br />Good piece.Peggy Snow Cahillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06367608237331524897noreply@blogger.com
