In The Argument against Over PopulationImmigration Xenophobia Destruction of soil for Farming Global Warming Finite Resources Immigration è Technological Innovation è Reduced Resource Pressures Poor countries = More Inefficient/Environmentally Destructive. Growth = More Resources for Pollution Control Measures. Xenophobia & Population ⬆ not uniquely related. Xenophobia in all countries whether population goes up or dow.  E.G. France, Denmark.  Declining populations make host countries nervous b/c of loss of power  Farming less intensive than in the past. Aquaculture Threat exaggerated No proximate = 40 years in the future Warmer Climates = Longer Growing Seasons = More Food. Canadian Corn Solar power = effectively infinite source of energy Scarcity = higher prices = substitutes. We no longer burn trees for energy. Price of wood ⬆ è More coal, less wood è Forests return.
