Overview
- Emphasizes the growth of the human population, in the world as well as in the USA, and its impact on the biosphere
- Attempts to reverse the change in approach by environmentalists, including environmental law scholars, who were concerned during the 1960s and 1970s with human population growth but today generally neglect population as a cause of environmental deterioration
- Uses data from the US General Social Survey to determine whether, among American adults, concern with the environment is related to concern with population growth
