Enormous iceberg melting near Svalbard island in Norway

These photos of acute environmental damage have been collected into a book ‘Overdevelopment, Overpopulation, Overshoot’ by the environmental awareness platform Global Population Speak Out. The pages show the harsh realities of the ecological and social tragedies that cause the Earth’s extreme suffering at the hands of unfettered human consumption and overpopulation. Not all groups — the Catholic Church as one example — agree that having 10 children in poor families is a problem for the Earth, but most scientists and ecologists share a different view.

Global Population Speak Out provides a link for everyone to have a look at the book online for free, but if you want it in your bookshelf, you can also find it on Amazon.
