Wasn't that the panic of an earlier decade?
- golemotron 10y agoYes, that and killer bees.
- dajohnson89 10y agoYes and I'm not sure why the panic has subsided. Has the world really increased its capacity for human population? More likely: it's media meme that had come and gone.
- inimino 10y agoBirth rates are levelling off.
- andrewclunn 10y agoNo. No they aren't. The number of pregnancies is declining, but the pregnancies that result in a child who lives more than two years has never been higher.
- inimino 10y agoHigher, and levelling off.
- dajohnson89 10y agoSo, it's exponential growth, but with a slower rate.
- inimino 10y agoNo. A slowing rate. Totally different thing.
