Ecology of Increasing Diseases: Population Growth and Environmental Degradation

@Mistywoman1 @Marieisabelles5 Point them toward this, give them some reading to do! https://t.co/dqZXI6LQso

@DrEricDing Looks like nature really wants to kill us off! But as we know, this is what comes from exponential human population growth, more people equal more chances for disease to spread. https://t.co/dqZXI6LQso

Another chipper stat: Pollution-driven malnutrition kills as many children under 5 EACH YEAR, as the number of Jewish ppl killed over the Holocaust's entire 12yrs. "Each year, approximately 6 million children under the age of 5 die from malnutrition"

"Global increases in.. pollution exacerbate.. malnutrition.. In 1950, 500 million people (20% of the world..) were malnourished (Grigg 1993). Today more than 3.7 billion people (nearly 60%..) suffer from malnutrition (WHO..)—the largest number in history."
