Ryerson's PCI Reader piece picked up by Grist

William Ryerson 2010-08-21

Post Carbon Fellow Bill Ryerson's essay for the Post Carbon Reader and accompanying video were picked up on Grist's GINK (Green Inclination No Kids) feature.

From the article:

Ryerson has a new article that provides a good overview of global population issues -- "Population: The Multiplier of Everything Else" [PDF], which will appear in the forthcoming Post Carbon Reader.
