Doom and Demography

Doom and Demography: "What is perhaps most remarkable about the incessant
stream of dire - and consistently wrong - predictions of global
demographic overshoot is the public's apparently insatiable demand
for it. Unlike the villagers in the fable about the boy who cried wolf,
educated American consumers always seem to have the time, the money, and
the credulity to pay to hear one more time that we are just about to run
out of everything, thanks to population growth."
