Why is it so difficult to acknowledge that having 7 billion human beings overconsuming, overproducing and overpopulating in our planetary home in 2011 is a cause of climate destabilization? What is making it virtually impossible for many of us to see that the gigantic global scale of human-induced environmental degradation and human-forced natural resources dissipation is destroying Earth as a fit place for habitation by the children and life as we know it? What if first class professionals with appropriate expertise in human population dynamics and human overpopulation of the Earth started speaking out about heretofore willfully denied scientific research by Hopfenberg and Pimentel? What if experts started being scientists by beginning to fulfill their responsibility to science and their duty to humanity?

Although many capable people have spoken out to alert the family of humanity of a clear and present danger to human well being, environmental health and a good enough future for children everywhere, does a conspiracy of silence still exist among many too many so-called high rank experts with regard to a willfully unacknowledged, non-recursive biological problem: the one posed to humankind by human population dynamics and human overpopulation of the Earth? Are we witnesses to the most incredible failure of intellectual honesty, moral courage and nerve in human history?
