Between 1990 and 2023, the world population increased by over 50%. However, growth rates varied significantly among countries, with some experiencing no growth or even a decline. Interestingly, Western European countries have seen significant population growth despite falling birth rates, indicating increased migration into the region. #PopulationGrowth #Demographics #GlobalTrends #Migration #immigration

#DavidSuzuki out of #Canada, apparently gave up on doing #scientificResearch when he noticed that his #science was being abused to destroy the #habitat of the #frogs rather than help it.

He has since devoted his life to #environmental #televisionPrograms to teach kids about the wonders of the #naturalWorld. He's also vocal against #populationGrowth, and continuing #urbanSprawl and #consumption.
