RE: Carrying Capacity and Birth Control
If I must say, I am more concerned with the greater dangerous impact that an increased population would have on the environment. Lets look around us and see what we have done to planet earth. Even if we do not reach the carrying capacity of the planet, what about the impacts that a larger population would have?
Like I said, the battle is only for the strong. Humans have been impacting the earth since inception and it is only normal for the impact to increase with increase in population. If a resolution is made today that some humans need to be eliminated in other to reduce human population, will you volunteer yourself because of the impact we humans have on the environment? I guess no. What we need is sustainable use of resources....
I quite agree with you on that note, howbeit, preaching "sustainable use of resources" to an increased population is less likely to yield positive results, especially in developing countries.
