The Guardian.UK: Population growth: the baby bomb.
“… it is only 12 years since the birth of the six billionth person was announced and, for a majority of the world’s population, more things have got better than worse. But in an era so shaped by the burden of human activity that scientists are calling it the anthropocene age, the explosive near-trebling of the world’s population from just 2.5bn in 1950 demands at least an equal focus on reducing our environmental impact.” Just driving into Santa Fe these days, the traffic seems to have doubled since last year. Infrastructure improvements are just keeping pace.
