Other than that, great article. 

Also, i completely agree that it's not so much about population in terms of numbers, and more about consumption of resources.  One American consumes about 100 times as many resources as one person in a developing country, and yet we are telling them that they should limit their population in the name of environmentalism?  Um, how about we just consume less!!!
