‘We have never seen our populations fall like this before’

For decades, environmentalists have warned that there are ‘too many people’ on the planet. Apparently, the world is facing mass famine, ecological disaster and total societal collapse if the global population continues to expand. But what if the opposite is true? According to demographer Paul Morland, author of new book No One Left, it is not overpopulation, but depopulation that poses the greatest threat to mankind. All over the world, even in poorer countries, fertility rates are plummeting. Unless we reverse this demographic decline, humanity could soon struggle to sustain itself.
