Here's one way we control the population explosion.
Already, at the dawn of the 21st century, 40 million men, women and children (that's roughly 7 Jewish holocausts) perish annually- that's EVERY YEAR- from hunger, starvation, disease and malnutrition. Out of the roughly 100,000-150,000 who die every day around the world, roughly 40,000 of these are children.
In 1900, there were approximately 1 billion people inhabiting the Earth. Today, in 2003, that number is well over 6 billion- an unprecedented and exponential increase in 100 years of human history.
China and India, the two most populous nations on the planet (both with well over a billion inhabitants), as well as the poor, undeveloped and developing nations that comprise the continents of Asia, Africa and Latin America, will continue to bear the brunt of world hunger and global starvation. Africa is by far the poorest and least developed continent harboring the poorest of the poor and the most destitute worldwide.
Today, more than 1 billion people in the world are chronically starving and malnurished. By contrast, the United States throws away 100 billion tons of food a year. Of a total of 6.2 billion people worldwide, roughly 1.2 billion live on less than US$ 1/day. 1.7 billion lack access to clean water. 3 billion live without decent sanitation... |
