Population Studies Heat Up

It's not population, per se, that's the problem, at least within some upper limit, it's the destruction of the primary economy, nature, with it's nonsubstitutable environmental stocks, sinks, resources, and service inputs to the human economy that is at the heart of every moment of human economic activity, and that systematically increases with output as well as population, that is the problem. Fix that, which has been a problem for the past 50+ years, and you might fix the population problem, within some extreme limits of course. In any case, we'll see whether these studies can pop out of the polarized, single issue "it is" or "it is not" the problem" framing of such population studies to date.
