In a startling article on excess population, Johann Hari in his column in London's Independent, revealed some sobering statistics:

"Every year world population grows by 75 million people - equivalent to another Britain and Ireland.  At the turn of the 18th century there were 600 million people on earth.  At the turn of this century there will be 6.6 billion."

This colossal overpopulation will find ever more people chasing after a diminishing degree of any resources left on the planet.  

During Ronald Reagan's presidency family planning funds for poor, enormously over-populated nations were cut off completely.  When television shows the poor fighting for food being dropped from planes for starving people, you get some idea what an inhumane decision that was.
