The reality of the population problem is that our global population growth has been exponential and continues to rise. Not only is the number of individuals increasing but so is the amount of consumption per person, this increases our human impact on the Earths limited resources. Technology has been able to increase our ability to acquire food and resources for our growing populations; however it is not succeeding in entirety. Only the wealthy nations are able to acquiring enough food to feed their people, the majority of people on this planet live in hunger. Other instances of human population growth exceeding carrying capacity has occurred on Easter Island (Suggested reading Easter's End by Jared Diamond). The result of this occurrence was mass starvation, cannibalism, anarchy, and an immediate population crash from starvation. By opposing all methods of population control The Population Research Institute is hindering the resolution of our biggest problem population growth.
Even if you agree with this organizations limited perspective on population growth you may wan to think again before contributing.
