Population Reduction

The world's population 'boom' is not a result of an increase in birth rates, but rather a decrease in death rates. Today more infants and children are surviving into adulthood, while adults are living longer. Since the earth's resources are finite, population must stop growing somehow. Fortunately, birth rates are declining, because no one wants to increase death rates. However, population momentum (the 'boom' of young people who are beginning their child-bearing years), and the agonizing slowness with which birth rates are coming down, means the population is still increasing. In the meantime, modern medicine is allowing people to live even longer - causing quite a dilemna: will humankind reach a point where having children is to be discouraged, even to the point of one child or no children families? What will the world be like with fewer and fewer children and more and more elderly people? Some people do not realize that the earth's resources are finite. Or they believe that God or technology will take care of it. They propose a giant pyramid scheme to continue to produce young people who would take care of the old people - leaving the question of who is going to take care of the young people when they get old?

Did you know that world population reached 6 billion on October 12, 1999, and will reach 9.3 billion by 2050? The impacts of continued population growth are already felt by a majority of nations. U.S. population, too, has grown from 152 million in 1950 to 270 million today, a 78% increase. We have doubled in 58 years. Growing at 3,000,000 per year, U.S. population is expected to approach half a billion people in 50 years!
Overpopulation is the root cause of most environmental problems. The demands of increasing population magnify demands for natural resources, clean air and water, as well as access to wilderness areas. Unless we start stacking people in high-rises, this means an increased demand for living space, with the inevitable result of more sprawl. The quality of life for future generations hinges on stabilizing both domestic and world population.

According to David Barrett et al, editors of the " World Christian Encyclopedia : A comparative survey of churches and religions - AD 30 to 2200 ," there are 19 major world religions which are subdivided into a total of 270 large religious groups, and many smaller ones. 34,000 separate Christian groups have been identified in the world. " Over half of them are independent churches that are not interested in linking with the big denominations. " Most people in the world follow one of the religions listed in the table below. Included is the name of the religion, the approximate date of its origin, its main sacred or ethical texts (if any) and its estimated numerical strength (both in absolute numbers and as a percentage of the world's population.) These data are based on census or public opinion data. Thus, a person is considered to be of a particular religion if they say that they are of that faith. Thus, about 88% of the adults in both the U.S. and Canada are Christians. Many individuals and religious groups have

HIV EPIDEMIC SLOWING POPULATION GROWTH
AS WORLD APPROACHES 6 BILLION
Lester R. Brown and Brian Halweil
As world population approaches 6 billion on October 12, the HIV epidemic is measurably slowing population growth. Nowhere is this more evident than in sub-Saharan Africa, a region of 800 million people, where the epidemic is spiraling out of control. If a low-cost cure is not found soon, countries with adult HIV infection rates over 20 percent, such as Botswana, South Africa, and Zimbabwe, will lose one fifth or more of their adult population to AIDS within the next decade. When the United Nation's demographers did their biennial update of world population numbers and projections in October of 1998, they reduced the projected global population for 2050 from 9.4 billion to 8.9 billion. Of this 500 million drop, two thirds was because of falling fertility. That's the good news. The bad news is that one third of the fall was the result of rising mortality from AIDS.

World Population Growth: 1800 - 2000

Transcript

The odometer-like references to population growth have become a staple in any essay about population. Some scholars say that when looking at population, we must focus on the numbers, namely limiting them. Others argue that population numbers are the symptom of much more complex problems rather than the cause of them. Since 1960, when the global population was less than half its current number, many experts became concerned about the consequences of a human population growing unchecked. Since that time concerted international efforts have helped bring down birth rates. There have been major gains in access to food and clean water, and the rate of population growth has been slowed significantly. Impressive as some gains have been, many problems related to, or magnified by population still exist across the world today. It is estimated that the global population will reach nine billion by 2050, a three billion jump from today. There is a growing concern today about increasing unemployment, urbanization, pandemic disease, economic disparity, consumerism and environmental degradation across the world. Increasingly, the impact is being felt world-wide and not just in the areas of higher population density. This is not surprising in a "globalized" world whose nations are being brought closer and closer together by economics and culture and through technology. In this "small world," the definition of population issues is getting larger to include those most closely associated with the "north" or the industrialized nations, such as urban sprawl and consumption.

World Population Crisis? A Myth that's about Money! Every human being on earth today could stand side by side within the city limits of Jacksonville, Florida. These same people could be given a house and a plot of ground and reside within the state of Texas. The rest of the "world" would be uninhabited Does this sound like a "world" population crisis'? It is, however, simply another scheme by special interest groups, such as, The International Planned Parenthood Federation, who promises to rake in billions of dollars. "If they would rather die," said Scrooge, "they had better do it and decrease the surplus population." A Christmas Carol, by Charles Dickens. The truth is there is no "world" population crisis and no rapid population growth for Scrooge, or Planned Parenthood, to control. Why is the developed world so determined to reduce population growth in the developing world? One answer comes from Dr. Charles Ravenholt, former Director of the Population Office of USAID: "Population control is needed to maintain the normal operation of the United States commercial interests around the world." This view is more than just Dr. Ravenholt’s personal opinion, for it is enshrined in the official document of the U.S. government entitled "Implications of Worldwide Population Growth for U.S. Security and Overseas Interests." Drafted by the National Security Council under the direction of Henry Kissinger, and secretly published as National Security Study Memorandum 200 (NSSM 200) on 10 December 1974, this document declares that:

Is it really
a big lie? Who cares about population growth
World population has doubled in 40 years, and hit six billion last October. If growth continues on its present course, population may nearly double again in the same timeframe. Poor Mother Earth isn't getting larger; our planet has limits. Our Earth must provide fresh water and nutritious food for more and more billions of people. Our oceans, which are a delicate ecosystem, are already disturbed, yet they must produce more and more food. Our farms must yield more and more crops, yet Mother Earth's soil is wearing out in many places. Bringing in artificial fertilizers requires fuel, tractors, and money.
The poor billons of animal species that share our planet are getting a bad rap. Human growth is destroying their habitats and forcing extinctions. Rainforest and old growth trees are being consumed much faster than Mother Earth can replenish them. That means there will be less of everything for the next generation of folks. Our poor pastures, farmland, and forest are becoming cluster homes, strip shopping centers, and warehouses. Those beautiful scenic landscapes that provide relaxation to the soul are disappearing. In the U.S. alone, 1 million new homes are being built each year, according to F.W. Dodge. Shouldn't there be some kind of balance between humans and wildlife? This is what we call "sustainability." A simple definition of sustainability is: "We need to leave this planet in as good or better shape than the way we found it."

Big baby boom POSTED 8 OCT 1999 At the end of a record century for population growth comes another milestone. According to the United Nations, world population will reach six billion on Oct. 12. Only 12 years ago, we were five billion strong. The population of the planet has doubled in just 39 years. Ever since Robert Thomas Malthus published his anonymous Essay on the Principle of Population in 1798, people have been disputing his contention: that population grows exponentially, but food supplies grow arithmetically. (In English, this means that the graph of population curves upward, while the graph of food supply is straight.) Eventually, Malthus said, shortages of food would cause chaos and famine. The pronouncement was fearsome enough to earn economics this splendid moniker: the " dismal science ." But it wasn't just economists who rebelled. Karl Marx also denounced Malthus. The Bible tasked humans to "be fruitful and multiply," and could be the only commandment about which we can uniformly say, "Been there, done that." Today, India and China have as many people as were alive in 1937.

Patrick Burns, Director
2002 World Population, Largest to Smallest When writing about population growth, we often find ourselves trying to give folks a visual idea of how many people we are talking about. For example, we could say that U.S. population is growing by 3 million people a year or we could say we are adding the population of Iowa every year, or we could say we are adding the population equivalent of a Panama, Liberia or Armenia to the US every year. World population is growing by 75 to 80 million people a year, or about the population equivalent of a new Egypt or Vietnam every 365 days. To put it another way, every four years the world adds the population equivalent of another United States. To break the number and time scales down even further, world population is growing by about 150 people a minute or over 9,000 people per hour. The country believed to currently have the highest fertility rate in the world is Niger, with a total fertility rate of 8.0 and a population doubling time of just under 20 years.
