Overpopulation: Is There Such A Thing? The rich grind the poor into abjectness and then complain that they are abject. They goad them to famine, then hang them if they steal a sheep. -- Percy Bysshe Shelley The very first question that arises, in our search for the cause of widespread poverty, is whether it is the result of our own inexorable fertility. That was the theory of Thomas Robert Malthus (1766-1834), the English Cleric, author of the Essay on the Principle of Population and originat ...

POPULATION GROWTH AND SOCIETY By Kate Kennedy and Mindy Cheng Tomorrow there will be 260,000 more people on the planet. In the year 3400, we will have a shocking world population of 10 sextillion (1022) people. Well before that, the amount of land per person will have dropped to less than one square inch (Zuckerman 81, ix).

Each additional human requires water, food, space and other resources to survive; people in the developed countries consume a disproportionate amount. As our population grows, we alter natural habitats to provide for our material needs; this inevitably reduces the amount of habita ...
