Too Many People

2009 and population issues abound. According a report produced by scientists from the Wildlife Conservation Society (WCS) and Columbia University's Center for International Earth Science Information Network (CIESIN) in New York, human beings have taken more than 83% of the globe's land surface to inhabit, mine, farm, or fish.

This leave merely a few areas suitable for wildlife. Humans also have taken advantage of 98% of the land that can be farmed for rice, wheat or corn. Will sane population policies ever be implemented?
