Birth rates are declining. Widely.


They are declining only in affluent societies, which are ironically the very
societies that can best afford to support larger populations (although that's
not an excuse to allow the population to increase).

The poorest basket cases of Africa also have the highest rates of population
increase. They must either progress or starve. The best way to progress is
through education, especially of women.

In a decade or so, you'll see a drop in population even in Mexico. Nothing
from those doom books in the '70s has held up...


Wait and see.

Eventually either people will limit their own population, or nature will.
