Reply to article: Bjorn Lomborg: Sir David Attenborough "wrong" on human plague
Article Tags: Bjorn Lomborg, Reply To Article
Today, Sir David Attenborough remarkably said that “humans are a plague on the earth” (http://bit.ly/10NotMj). He should have done a bit of fact checking first.
Sounding like this is the year 1800 and he just picked up a copy of Malthus, he predicts we’re going to run out of resources, starvation will increase and we’re simply running out of space.
Well, most of our resources are getting more plentiful, not less because of innovation (see my Foreign Affairs piece http://fam.ag/LfIoMl).
Starvation, though still a huge issues, has actually declined dramatically: in 1950, 53% of all people in the developing world starved, whereas it has dropped to about 13% today. (Remember, a significant part of the reason for higher food prices and more hunger is that we grow biofuels on an area one-quarter of France.)
