Post Carbon Fellow Bill Ryerson was quoted in this article about population growth and the new book Overdevelopment, Overpopulation, Overshoot.

From the article:

When it comes to the long-debated issue of overpopulation, lack of understanding and not of knowledge has always been the main problem.

This was the central message of “Overdevelopment, Overpopulation, Overshoot,” a coffee table book on the “deep complex nuances of today’s overpopulated world.”

Population Media Center president William Ryerson said the present generation has been fed with a lot of statistical data on the ballooning number of people across the globe, but added these factual backings were not enough to generate social action.
