I Have a Question
With the world population obviously being a major problem, now and in the future. Why don't we see the political pundits addressing the issue? Is it just too hot of a topic?

actually somewhat more than I remembered, so my apologies, but still well within carrying capacity for the planet, as it stands currently. I'm afraid however, the actual population in 2050 will be under 1 billion, as climate change renders a lot of very heavily populated land uninhabitable (India, Egypt/Sudan/Kenya, south east asia), and submerges some bits. Which I guess will solve the population pressure problem, in a hideous fashion.
