still thinking
WOW...the mind boggles at that many people.
What is of the biggest concern to me is the poorest nations that have the highest birthrates and they cannot feed the people there already. What can you do? Should more be done about education and helping them with birth control, or would that just take precious resourses away from helping with food and basic necessities?
I also found it abhorrent that one reason for a lower birthrate in some areas was due to aborting female fetuses...so they want to end up with a female shortage...what are they thinking?
This really is a population explosion....which is going to keep exploding at a faster and faster rate in the future...and if their statistics are anything to go by...in the not too distant future.
Water seems to be the biggest issue overall doesn't it? Ok, we might find technologies to grow more food, but how do we get more water?
