Let's see, one of my first papers in college was about population growth, with the Club of Rome
being a source of information. This was in the early 70's. That would be about 40 years ago, and I
don't see the population growth dwindling by much.

It was true then and it's even more true now. It has actually gotten
much worse in fact since India and China have become industrialized
since they are now consuming and polluting much more per capita than
previously.

The catholic church's position on birth control is only part of the
problem - more of an issue in the western hemisphere. Even here
however the cultural issues outweigh the religious ones.
