ONE BOMB DEFUSED
Remember "The Population Bomb"? Remember how human population was going to grow to 20 billion, 30 billion... until we all starved? Well, I was certainly one of the legion of people who believed that this was inevitable well into the 1980s.
Not true. Even the BBC, reliable mouthpiece for the Red/Green alliance, has a story today announcing what everyone who's paying attention has come to realize. Fertility rates have been falling, falling, falling. Now projections are that human population will top out at under 10 billion by 2050, to decline thereafter.
How about that?
