Ja, påståede overbefolkning. Der er globalt set tale om isolerede problemer
hvis komplekse årsager har skabt det løsningsforslag at befolkningerne i en
række problem lande må reduceres.
World Hunger
870 million people do not have enough to eat — more than the populations of
USA and the European Union combined.
98% of the world's undernourished people live in developing countries.2
Two-thirds of the world's hungry live in just 7 countries: Bangladesh,
China, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Ethiopia, India, Indonesia and
Pakistan.
Where is hunger the worst?
Asia and the Pacific: 578 million3
Sub-Saharan Africa: 239 million3
Latin America and the Caribbean: 53 million3

Max grænsen kommer vi ikke i nærheden af. fertilitetsraterne er faldende.

Overpopulation is a Myth: Plenty of Food and Space Exists
In 2003, the entire population of the world could fit inside the state of
Arkansas. The world may seem crowded, but it’s because humans cluster
together for trade and companionship, not for lack of room. Even so, there
are those who insist that we will continue to breed exponentially, causing
a population explosion.
Paul Ehrlich first introduced this idea in 1968 with his book, “The
Population Bomb.” It succeeded in scaring the masses, just as Thomas
Malthus did, but these theories suffer under the impression that humans are
the only thing fluctuating.
“Population rose six-fold in the next 200 years. But this is an increase,
not an explosion, because it has been accompanied, and in large part made
possible, by a productivity explosion, a resource explosion, a food
explosion, an information explosion, a communications explosion, a science
explosion, and a medical explosion,” wrote community development specialist
Abid Ullah Jan in an article published in 2003 called “Overpopulation:
Myths, Facts, and Politics.”
Poverty, too, is not the effect of overpopulation, but rather the aftermath
of poor leadership. In Ethiopia, government officials are blamed for
causing poverty by confiscating food and exporting it to buy arms.
In Africa, economic problems are seen as a result of excessive government
spending, taxes on farmers, inflation, trade restrictions and too much
government ownership.
