I'd be curious to know if there are any good books on the subject. It seems like this is something that we're going to have to figure out in our lifetimes.
- peterbonney 10y agoI don't know of any good books on the consequences (so I'd be curious too) but here is a good report if you want to know more about the possible population scenarios: http://webarchive.iiasa.ac.at/Admin/PUB/Documents/IR-08-022.pdf http://webarchive.iiasa.ac.at/Admin/PUB/Documents/IR-08-022.... It's pretty shocking to see how quickly and how far total population would fall if global birth rates eventually decline to the level Europe is at today.
