Paul R. Ehrlich: Citáty anglicky

“Whatever your cause, it’s a lost cause without population control.”

Paul Ehrlich and the population bomb
Kontext: Solving the population problem is not going to solve the problems of racism… of sexism… of religious intolerance… of war… of gross economic inequality—But if you don’t solve the population problem, you’re not going to solve any of those problems. Whatever problem you’re interested in, you’re not going to solve it unless you also solve the population problem. Whatever your cause, it’s a lost cause without population control.

“By this standard, the entire planet and virtually every nation is already vastly overpopulated.”

The Population Explosion (1990)
Kontext: The key to understanding overpopulation is not population density but the numbers of people in an area relative to its resources and the capacity of the environment to sustain human activities; that is, to the area’s carrying capacity. When is an area overpopulated? When its population can’t be maintained without rapidly depleting nonrenewable resources.... By this standard, the entire planet and virtually every nation is already vastly overpopulated.

“Actually, the problem in the world is that there are too many rich people.”
