As with e.g. climate there is the short term and the long term. Long term, the planet will support fewer people. There's not much chance of 8 million people living in peace and harmony at western European/north American/Japanese levels of consumption. Short term, some developed countries are getting into demographic imbalance. A report has just come out saying the UK pension age "needs" to go up to 70 by 2040, which is of course ridiculous. What is really needed is a fairer distribution of wealth.

I can't be the only person who finds it distasteful to hear implied condemnation of people who happen to be poor having 5 children. Never mind the fact that they might not have considered themselves poor until their fuel bill reached £2500 a year or more. A country with a GDP like ours should aspire to enable everyone to have a decent life - we are heading for the opposite pole where it has to be accepted that wage earners will be poor while capitalists are allowed to keep what ever surplus there is.
