No, it's not. The population is increasing catastrophically in precisely
the poorest countries in the world. Look for more genocide and forced
migrations to the rich countries where the incidence of racism is likely
to increase accordingly. Case in point: France and Le Pen. Also the rise
of nativism in California.
Also look for increased totalitarianism in global politics -- courtesy of
fake-Libertarianism.

This is statistical trickery.

Incorrect. I heard that the net global population increase last year was
the greatest ever.

*If* some positive changes are happening -- you have to thank people like
Paul Ehrlich, a great benefactor of humanity. People like DLJ and other
(fake)-Libertarians are the people who did their best to counteract any
positive endeavor in this area. Rwanda, and now Zaire, are attributable
to their efforts in no small measure.
Ecologically,
Yuri.
