Time Bomb:

While the media is filled with awe over the death of Bin Laden, the real story of this century is buried deeper in the news: the world's population is exploding. Projections have increased to ten billion within the next ninety years.

The usual question raised by a discussion of population growth is will we be able to feed everyone. Currently the answer is yes. But is just feeding everyone enough?

Nearly every issue we face today throughout the world is affected in one way or another by population pressure. Can the planet withstand such growth? God may be happy with this mob of miserable souls murdering one another and passing on infectious diseases while driving up global temperatures, but one suspects Mother Nature is not.
