FALLING POPULATION, MORE WILDERNESS IN 2100: Sir David Attenborough's pessimism is misplaced My recent column in the Times addresses the demographic transition and land-sparing: Publicising his imminent new series about the evolution of animals, Sir David Attenborough said in an interview this week that he thought a reduction in human population during this century is impossible and “we’re lucky to be living when we are, because things are going to get worse”. People will look back in another 100 years “at a world that was less crowded, full of natural wonders, and healthier”."--Sunday, 15 September, 2013, Matt Ridley [1] |
