The human population reached eight billion people in 2022 and may reach ten billion later this century. A relatively small (and rich) fraction of those billions are able to cause climate change at a global scale. However, with so much focus on the challenges of climate change, another catastrophe is unfolding without most people noticing: the loss of nature as we know it.
Uetz has spent decades studying and writing about systems biology and the natural world and his article on “Myths About Overpopulation” is featured in the latest issue of Free Inquiry. This presentation will address the most challenging question humanity has ever faced: Are we too many and is nature losing out?
