This Saturday August 23rd 8-9 PM on It’s A Question Of Balance with Ruth Copland we consider ‘Should we limit the world population?’ According to renowned naturalist Sir David Attenborough humans are threatening their own existence and that of other species by using up the world’s resources. He says “We are plague on the Earth. It’s not just climate change, it’s sheer space and places to grow food for this enormous horde. Either we limit our population growth or the natural world will do it for us”. What do you think? If we accept that population explosion is a problem, how should we address it when there are so many sensitive issues around it, such as religion and the rights of the individual? When the growing burden of humanity on the Earth is such a real problem, why is it hardly ever discussed openly by politicians? Is it because we have too much invested in short term economic expansion to consider the effects of our ever-growing world population on our long-term fate as a species? What do you think? Join us on Saturday 8-9 PM! For more info on the show and to hear past shows visit www.itsaquestionofbalance.com
