Texts: Read about the population bomb written in 1968 by Paul (and Anne) Ehrlich. Watch the short video on Population Research Institute, which also has a different ideology that overpopulation is totally a myth. Is overpopulation a myth or not explained? In what ways is each perspective accurate? What does each perspective lack? What is the motive behind each perspective? What are some solutions that each perspective proposes? Are these solutions ethical, reasonable, and feasible?

solutions to human overpopulation
Dr. Satish I.
Describe the historical pattern of growth of the worldwide human population since our origin. Include in this historic overview the changes that have happened technologically, medically, culturally and nutritionally to result in major population changes over time. Relate the growth of the human population to our ecological footprint and explain the idea of limits to population growth known as the carrying capacity. Relative to carrying capacity, what may result from unbridled continued growth of our population? How does the size of the human population contribute to environmental degradation? Why must we take the human population size into account when we attempt to develop environmental restoration projects?
