Counterintuitive 

This article sure goes against the grain of conventional wisdom. Well, not really. It is probably a denier document. But quite convincing in some respects.

Overpopulation is Not the Problem

What is interesting is that it does not mention warming or climate change.

It does tell me that I am clever enough to get over the problems we have and that cities can grow unabated without any limit. Population can keep on going, increasing forever. There will be enough food for everyone.

Even though there is not enough food for everyone now.

It pretty much assumes that living on top of one another might even be enjoyable.

I don't know.

It was in the NYTimes, right?

I thought to myself that they have to be even handed if only a little bit. Perhaps this is a bow to that impulse.

I have been a believer in the need to limit population long before it reached the level it is now. It is pretty hard to swallow a lifetime of data and belief.

It is interesting to see this reasoned article and then have a "Huh?" reaction.

Huh?

Don't ever say that this blog is one sided.
