‘I’m not worried about the long-term future of humans … we’ll manage.’ Population decrease and the decline of humanity, plus other letters to the editor for March 11
: I can only see this as a good thing for the world’s non-human residents.
I’m not worried about the long-term future of humans. To be sure, it will be a difficult transition from a society built on never-ending population and economic growth, but we’ll manage. Global population quadrupled from two to eight billion over the past century, contributing significantly to the degradation of natural systems that historically provided “free” economic services, thereby eroding the planet’s carrying capacity. Population decline, together with appropriate environmental policies, can be expected to help ease these pressures.
Many forecasts saw limits on how much more we could exploit our finite world to provide the food and materials we need. Humankind is already taking the lion’s share and demanding more.
