Focusing on the often-overlooked issue of human population growth, this monograph presents original graphs illustrating population trends since 1920 for both the world and the U.S. It connects increasing population numbers to ecological degradation and its societal effects. Additionally, it examines survey data to explore the perceptions of Americans regarding population pressures. The findings suggest that even with measures to reduce fertility and immigration, significant long-term impacts may be limited, emphasizing the need for a multidisciplinary approach among environmental scholars.
