Revisiting Lord Man: A Parable

In recognition that global population will be surpassing 8 billion relatively soon — probably in 12 months or less — Population Media Center is revisiting editorial material from our Global Population Speak Out campaign, circa 2015/2016. For the next four weeks, we will re-publish videos and essays from Overdevelopment, Overpopulation, Overshoot.

Even after 7 years, few other publications can so poignantly frame the coming threshold of 8 billion. In this first week, we feature the lead Speak Out campaign video — Lord Man: A Parable.
