Why do you think so many people are ignorant on the topic of overpopulation and it's effects?
a. Resistance to contraception and the belief that sex is only for procreation by certain Christian religions.
b. Belief that population stabilization requires 'population control'- the One Child policy in China,for example. Not understanding that there are gentle solutions that will help people live a better life, and that people actually want, and that have been proven to work.
c. Inability to connect the dots when 6 billion goes to 7 billion in 12 years and then to 8 billion in 13 years.
d. Belief that 'God will take care of it'. Cornucopian view of the world fostered by decades of technological advances and materialistic success has caused people to think that the world's natural resources are unlimited. Forgetting that fossil fuels have allowed the West to advance technologically and live very comfortably, and therefore not really thinking to look at the dim future of fossil fuels.
e. Many people do not understand the relationship between our Earth's finite resources and humans existence. They believe that, if we are well-off, everything is OK. They do not see that we have already heavily borrowed against the Earth's resources: water in ancient aquifers are being overpumped, oil that was stored in the ground for thousands of years is not being replenished. Ancient civilizations who became overpopulated did not see it either.
