The Great Challenge
 
 

Can you think of any problem
 
in any area of human endeavor
 
on any scale, from microscopic to global,
 
whose long-term solution is in any demonstrable way
 
aided, assisted, or advanced
 
by further increases in population,
 
locally, nationally, or globally
?
 
 
- Prof. Al Bartlett
 

 
 
 
Short of nuclear war itself, population growth is the gravest issue the world faces. If we do not act, the problem will be solved by famine, riots, insurrection and war.
 
      - Robert McNamara, Former World Bank President
