Examples

“The neo‐Malthusians have for some time dominated discussions of world population. In their gloom, some even calculated a date by which the planet would have so many people that there would be no room for anybody to lie down.”
“(A side note: Whenever I write about efforts to save children from malaria or diarrhea, I get cynical letters from neo-Malthusians who argue that saving children’s lives is pointless until birthrates drop. That’s incorrect. There’s abundant evidence that when parents are confident that their children will live, they will have fewer and invest more in each of them.)”
