Figures Refute The Population Explosion Myth
Dr. Thomas C. Jermann of Rockhurst College Kansas City argues population fears are overstated noting birth rates fell from 25.3 per thousand with 4,308,000 births in 1957 to 17.4 per thousand with 3,470,000 births in 1968 while the death rate stayed near 9.6. He says alarmist rhetoric ignores underlying causes and could hinder real solutions. He cautions that developing nations face real problems and the United States cannot be reduced to population counts.
