More people in Europe are dying than are being born, according to a new report co-authored by a Texas A&M University demographer. In contrast, births exceed deaths, by significant margins, in Texas and elsewhere in the U.S., with few exceptions.
Texas A&M Professor of Sociology Dudley Poston, along with Professor Kenneth Johnson, University of New Hampshire, and Professor Layton Field, Mount St. Mary's University, published their findings in Population and Development Review this month.
The researchers find that 17 European nations have more people dying in them than are being born (natural decrease), including three of Europe's more populous nations: Russia, Germany and Italy. In contrast, in the U.S. and in the state of Texas, births exceed deaths by a substantial margin.

Every population of every creature fluctuates.
Somehow when humans do so its all "doom and gloom" (read: propaganda to accept policies that no one wants and will destroy the nation).
Only insane stock market gambling addicts think the population should increase infinitely.
Funny thing about European peoples: When they get overcrowded, their birth rates fall off to adjust to resource availability. Compare to Native Africans, however, who continue to breed regardless of resource availability and end up starving to death.
Europeans evolved in a harsher environment. If you didn't manage resources well before and during winter then everyone would starve to death by spring. The population problem is not caused by europeans... and yet the AGW nutters also want to increase populations of 3rd worlders and replace the eco-friendly-breeding Europeans with migrants who have no innate breeding strategy.
