I am having a long discussion with some population people on an email list
who would focus on US population, specifically US immigration, and deny the
impact of growing US consumption on global consumption growth.  And the
relationship between global instability and population growth.   Has anyone
got pointers for me?   Does economic insecurity affect people's choices
about having children?  Are human rights equivalent to environmental
concerns?

In 1992, "When ...Ted Turner funded a competition to find a fictional work
demonstrating a plan for sustainability, ten thousand manuscripts poured
in.  And yet, reports Turner, "we did not have one plausible treatise on
how we could get to a sustainable, peaceful future."' (Chellis
Glendinning's, "My Name is Chellis and I'm in recovery from Western
Civilization.", 1994, p 206)    Also in 1992, Donella advised us to come up
with a positive vision of the sustainability transformation (Beyond the
Limits).
