1998IL MULINO 1998 FONDO DI MAGAZZINO: LIEVI SEGNI DEL TEMPO, VOLUME INTONSO PARI AL NUOVO. Alla domanda del titolo sono state fornite risposte variabili da 1 a 1000 miliardi di abitanti. Oltre la metà delle stime, tuttavia, ricade tra i 4 e i 16 miliardi di abitanti, segno che un'ipotesi sufficientemente attendibile non è proibitiva. In ogni caso, con la popolazione del pianeta giunta a 5,7 miliardi e una crescita, al tasso di incremento attuale, di circa 1 miliardo ogni decennio, siamo ormai entrati nella zona critica della capacità demografica terrestre. Oggi è ancora possibile frenare la crescita della popolazione mondiale in maniera non traumatica, volontaria e graduale, senza ricorrere a mezzi di coercizione fisica, chimica o biologica, come rischiamo di dover fare in futuro.
