Ritchie Calder

From Philosopedia

Calder, Ritchie [Lord] (1906—1982)

In the NATIONAL SECULAR SOCIETY’s centenary brochure, Calder wrote that when Charles Bradlaugh agitated for birth control of the world’s population, there were then 1,200,000,000 humans on Earth. He estimated there would be more than 6,000,000,000 by 1995.

Explaining in his own views, Calder wrote Future of a Troubled World (1983).

Secularists have consistently warned against the danger of over-populating the planet.
