 John and Gordon,

 

"You are dead center, drop dead accurate in your assessment.  Population is the source of most of the problems we face even though that is an unpopular, non-PC position to take.
 I have long believed that it is impossible for the human species to address the problem, hence the inevitable."

 

I would third this except to suggest that pessimism should never lead to inaction-  Humans can address this problem and many are trying no matter how poor are the odds- life's supposed to be a struggle.  Even the decision not to have more than 2 children is a positive step.  Sharing your concerns on the Internet, possibly contributing to organizations involved in birth-control etc.

 

We may be on the verge of extinction but it is also possible that technology could lead to a longevity of survival for our species unprecedented in the history of our planet.

 

No species is forever.  Keep fighting for your planet and your species.  We aint dead yet.
