This doesn't have much to do with the presentation, except that some of the statistics about China and India (the two countries with the largest populations in the world) are presented with the implication that numbers matter. The viewer is left with the impression that the US, with the third-largest world population and one of the highest birth rates in the industrialized world, is at a huge disadvantage. This may or may not be true, but the facts presented don't necessarily back up this implication.

One of the fascinating issues neglected by this presentation are the growing problems in China with a declining population (due to the "one child" policy) and selective abortion leaving them with a large surplus of males. Here's a link to an interesting article on the subject: http://www.prb.org/Source/59.2ChinasPopNewTrends.pdf
