Write solutions to the challenge of human population growth


Problem: The "population bomb" is an idea from Paul and Ann Ehrlich, both professors at Stanford University, which predicts that overpopulation will cause global starvation and social upheaval. In their article "Too Many People, Too Much Consumption" (2008) on the Yale Environment360 website, the Ehrlichs consider the use of IPAT for policy-making. What are the reasons that the "population bomb" concept is mainly ignored by policy-makers? Record your answers to the questions in your learning journal. David Biello's (2008) Scientific American article "Population Bomb Author's Fix for Next Extinction: Educate Women," proposes a solution to population growth. In addition to educating women, he posits a necessary second step. What is this second step and how does it fit into ideas about intra-generational equity? Fred Guteri's (2011) Scientific American article "Why Innovation Won't Defuse the Population Bomb," provides a counterview to the position that technological innovation will enable the planet to continue to support population growth and resource consumption. Why does Guteri consider it doubtful that technological innovation will continue to provide solutions to the challenge of human population growth? Need Assignment Help?
