The world is heavily overpopulated, wreaking havoc on the natural resources. The plain fact is that the developed countries have a far lower population growth than the rest of the world; if you want statistics, look here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_population_growth_rate<br /><br />The current average is ~1.17% worldwide, which means that within about 60 years, the population will have doubled (yes, you read it right, DOUBLED -- that's around 14 billion people.)<br /><br />If you want your children (or theirs, at least) to live at all, population growth WILL have to be stifled. The countries defined have NOTHING to do with the race of the populace, but all to do with their current population growth rate.<br /><br />The main problem with controlling this growth, is that the best solution we have to controlling it, is to further development in the affected countries, but the population size of said countries are so vast, that we have no way of providing the resources that are required. The available drinking water on the entire planet would be woefully inadequate, not to mention electricity and other such resources. I doubt you will ever see the UN turn to such drastic measures as those described in the (I hasten to add 100% *American*) book, but it is quite clear that something will have to be done. Teaching people about contraception, or even making it an option to be sterilized (you have to remember, the women in many of these countries do not have a say when it comes to sex, and thus have no say when it comes to pregnancy either - this gives them that choice) is in my view a very good start.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
