BABBIE, POPULATION GROWTH IS THE CRITICAL
FACTOR
Dr. Earl Babbie, “Situation Critical: Must Address Population
Growth.” Arkansas Democrat-Gazette (Guest Writer, 7-9-15), p. 7B. Babbie, Campbell professor emeritus at Chapman Univ. in Orange,
CA, lives in Hot Springs Village.
“Two
recent simultaneous news stories highlight perhaps the most serious problem we
face in the world today: the denial of population as the chief cause
or amplifier of the many problems that are spoken of more often.”

President’s
Note: “According
to the UN medium-fertility projection, world population will increase by 3.5
billion by 2100. The poorest, most
rapidly growing nations will make up 100 percent of the global net
increase. As their rising fossil fuel
emissions approach even a modest fraction of ours, the impact will be
catastrophic. We cannot save the planet
by dooming millions to permanent poverty.
Instead, we must invest in…voluntary contraception and smaller families.”

Note: “As California’s population grows, its per capita water availability
shrinks. As the world populations grow,
more people depend on California’s agricultural products. A combination of more efficient irrigation
techniques and global population stabilization is the only long-term solution
for the future….”

DICK’S ANALYSIS OF WEISMAN’S
CHAPTER 9, “THE SEA,” COUNTDOWN, about
the Philippines
This chapter epitomizes the comprehensive
brilliance of the book as a whole, its grasp of the macrocosm in the microcosm,
yet it is short. For example, the story
of a family planning nurse in Manila expands into an explanation of why
stopping population growth is inseparable from stopping or adapting to the
rising ocean, and how both arise from Catholic anti-planned parenthood
policies. And that is only the
beginning.
To make his case interesting he has
arranged his stories, histories, and stats in unexpected turns and
juxtapositions, small and large, present and past (Weisman opens with a recent
typhoon that floods Manila and with a male nurse, Roland, who helps poor women,
and he places this now in the then of the Spanish-American War). For simple clarity, I will recast the chapter
into rough chronological order (Weisman does not date everything).
1898 The three-year
Spanish American War “killing at least a quarter-million Filipinos [out of 7
million] who objected to becoming U.S. colonials” (and the war is compared to
the Vietnam War). Despite the slaughter,
the population quintupled to 100 million, while rest of planet quadrupled. Why? Because the church in “the most
Catholic country in Asia” with its strict prohibitions of contraception, never
surrendered during or after the occupation.
In two pages: weather, obstructions to family planning, two wars and
occupations, religion triumphant leading to
egregious population growth and poverty.
Overthrow of dictator
Ferdinand Marcos by Cory Aquino, devoted follower of the Church, who became
President.
2000?
Roland, trained as family planning nurse in Catholic Manila.
2010- New president Benigno Aquino III, son of Cory, favored
reproductive health through affirmative national government (including free
contraception, maternity care for the poor).
Benigno was thwarted in all efforts to pass bills.
As population zoomed, people
became the Philippines’ chief export. A
nurse makes more in a day in the wealthy ME countries than made in a month back
home. Two million Filipinos went to the
ME.
Roland working in a
charitable obstetrics and gynecological clinic in an extremely poor and
diseased municipality near Manila where
contraceptives were legal. Though the nation
had no family planning some municipalities did.
There he learned about abortion using mifepristone and misoprostol
(expensive) and vacuum aspiration (sure and cheaper). For devout Roland, the needs of the poorest
of the poor—750,000 illegal, dangerous abortions in the Philippines--trumped
church doctrine (vivid two pages).
That was Section i. Section ii is about family planning around
the coasts of the Philippines.
2004-
Western countries and foundations help financially. The PATH Foundation came with enough pills
for all women who wanted them. An
employee: “Population goes up, resources
come down.”
2008
Integrated Population and Coastal Resource Management ended. It had helped hold down population that had
grown beyond the capacity to feed all.
“The country’s richest seas were being devoured, and among the imperiled
species was the one doing the devouring” (helped with cyanide and dynamite).
2010
continued. Population growing, fish
decreasing. But family planning coming
in with pills, condoms, shots, without which the families would have 8 to 11
children. Localities continued after
departure of the foundations.
CLIMATE CHANGE AND
CONSUMPTION
Posted: 12 Apr 2013 07:54 AM PDT
By George Monbiot, published on the Guardian's website, 12th April
2013
Every society has topics it does not discuss. These are the issues
which challenge its comfortable assumptions. They are the ones that remind us
of mortality, which threaten the continuity we anticipate, which expose our
various beliefs as irreconcilable.
Among them are the facts which sink the cosy assertion, that (in David Cameron's words) "there
need not be a tension between green and growth."
At a reception in London recently I met an extremely rich woman,
who lives, as most people with similar levels of wealth do, in an almost
comically unsustainable fashion: jetting between various homes and resorts in
one long turbo-charged holiday. When I told her what I did, she responded,
"oh I agree, the environment is so important. I'm crazy about
recycling." But the real problem, she explained, was "people breeding
too much".
I agreed that population is an element of the problem, but argued
that consumption is rising much faster and - unlike the growth in the number of
people - is showing no signs of levelling off. She found this notion deeply
offensive: I mean the notion that human population growth is slowing. When I
told her that birth rates are dropping almost everywhere, and that the world is
undergoing a slow demographic transition, she disagreed violently: she has
seen, on her endless travels, how many children "all those people
have".
As so many in her position do, she was using population as a means
of disavowing her own impacts. The issue allowed her to transfer responsibility
to other people: people at the opposite end of the economic spectrum. It
allowed her to pretend that her shopping and flying and endless refurbishments
of multiple homes are not a problem. Recycling and population: these are the
amulets people clasp in order not to see the clash between protecting the
environment and rising consumption. For
