Office of Science & Technology Policy: Population increase is testimony to human success but I also would point to the very serious risks of rapid growth in world population. The current growth rate is a harbinger of future failure in responding to global and U.S. ills such as environmental deterioration, poverty, and hunger. My wish for change would be that the OSTP or associated groups encourage leadership and provide focus for the fundamental issue of a sustainable world population. For lack of attention, we increase the likelihood of a sudden global livability meltdown, that would rival or exceed the consequences of the current global financial meltdown.
