What you don’t say, but maybe are implying, is that some of the countries in the ME with exploding populations are also contributing to global political instability. They aren’t necessarily exporting viable goods or ideas to better the world…

If they grow up and become inventors, scientists, and in come cases leaders then they are effectively “adding” resources to the planet (making us more efficient, or more eco-friendly).

Highly entrepreneurial countries and countries with high marks in education are not the places you need to worry about population growth. Places with low median productivity per capita are much more worrying. (India, Russia, Africa, etc..)

It’s like the ecology of water conservation. In Israel, save every drop. In Canada … who cares? It’s all about context.
