PART 1. Global PopulationISSUE 1. Should the International Community Attempt to Curb Population Growth in the Developing World?YES: Robert S. McNamara, from "The Population Explosion," The Futurist (November-December 1992)NO: Steven W. Mosher, from "McNamara's Folly: Bankrolling Family Planning," PRI Review (March/April 2003)Robert S. McNamara, former president of the World Bank, argues that the developed countries of the world and international organizations should help the countries of the developing world to reduce their population growth rates. Steven W. Mosher, president of the Population Research Institute, an organization dedicated to debunking the idea that the world is overpopulated, argues that McNamara's World Bank, and other international financial lending agencies, has served for over a decade as "loan sharks" for those groups and individuals who were pressuring developing countries to adopt fertility reduction programs for self-interest reasons.ISSUE 2. Is Rapid Urbanization in the Developing World a Major Problem?YES: Barbara Boyle Torrey, from "Urbanization: An Environmental Force to Be Reckoned With," Population Reference Bureau (April 2004)NO: Gordon McGranahan and David Satterthwaite, from "Urban Centers: An Assessment of Sustainability," Annual Review of Energy and the Environment (vol. 28, 2003)Barbara Boyle Torrey, a member of the Population Reference Bureau's Board of Trustees and a writer/consultant, argues that extremely high urban growth rates are resulting in and will continue to create a range of negative environmental problems. Gordon McGranahan and David Satterthwaite suggest that there is little research about urban centers and their ability to provide sustainable development.ISSUE 3. Is Global Aging in the Developed World a Major Problem?YES: The Center for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS), from Meeting the Challenge of Global Aging: A Report to World Leaders from the CSIS Commission on Global Aging (CSIS Press, 2002)NO: Phillip Longman, from "The Global Baby Bust," Foreign Affairs (May/June 2004)The CSIS Report, "Meeting the Challenge of Global Aging: A Report to World Leaders from the CSIS Commission on Global Aging" suggest that the wide range of changes brought on by global aging pose significant challenges to the ability of countries to address problems associated with the elderly and to the national economy as a whole. Phillip Longman takes a more balanced perspective, suggesting that what he calls the coming "baby bust" will yield a variety of positive consequences as well as negative ones.PART 2. Global Resources and the EnvironmentISSUE 4. Do Environmentalists Overstate Their Case?YES: Ronald Bailey, from "Debunking Green Myths," Reason (February 2002)NO: David Pimentel, from "Skeptical of the Skeptical Environmentalist," Skeptic (vol. 9, no. 2, 2002)Environmental journalist Ronald Bailey argues that the natural environment is not in trouble, despite the arguments of many environmentalists that it is. He holds that the greatest danger facing the environment is not human activity but "ideological environmentalism, with its hostility to economic growth and technological progress." David Pimentel, a professor of insect ecology and agricultural sciences, argues that those who contend that the environment is not threatened are using data selectively and that the supply of basic resources to support human life is declining rapidly.ISSUE 5. Is Environmental Degradation Worsening?YES: United Nations Environment Programme, from Global Environment Outlook 2000 (Earthscan, 1999)NO: Peter Huber, from "Wealth Is Not the Enemy of the Environment," Vital Speeches of the Day (April 1, 2000)The United Nations Environment Programme presents a comprehensive and gloomy assessment of the global environment at the turn of the millennium. Peter Huber, a senior fellow of the Manhattan Institute, contends that humankind is saving the Earth with the technologies that the "soft g
