Population, Environment, and the Millennium Alliance for Humanity and the Biosphere. Presentation by Paul Ehrlich. As our population passes 7 billion, Ehrlich warns against the "myths" of limitless population and economic growth. He makes four points. First, we are a small group animal, genetically and culturally attuned to existing with 50-150 other people, now trying to live in a group of seven billion. Second, that the planet is vastly overpopulated, possibly by as much as four times the long-term carrying capacity. Third, the myth that population and economic growth have no limits is dangerous. And fourth, the idea that incremental change will save us is comforting but also dangerous. About 77 minutes. Play Video >>

Can a Collapse of Global Civilization Be Avoided? Presentation by Paul Ehrlich. An array of interconnected problems is moving a global civilization toward collapse. Driven by increasing overpopulation and over consumption by the rich, these problems include climate disruption, loss of ecosystem services, global poisoning, depletion of resources (especially soils and groundwater), and the threat of vast famines, epidemics and resource wars. Only a concerted effort to reduce the scale of society and focus much more attention on agriculture and equity seems likely to much improve the human prospect. About 52 minutes. Play Video >>
