The world’s human population is estimated today to be 7.383 billion, and growing. By the time you read this article, nearly a hundred thousand American newborn infant heads will have hit cradle pillows since the now-time of this article’s conception (about a week). Many people, myself included, are concerned about the looming and present danger of overpopulation. The argument goes that carrying capacity of Earth simply cannot maintain 7.3 billion people. Resources will be depleated. Given the transnational aspiration toward the North American middle-class lifestyle, such extinction-level predictions are all but guaranteed.
