It's not about eliminating carbon emissions, or geoengineering, or reducing meat consumption or changing how we grow food.
The underlying problem is over population. We have about 7 Billion people too many, if the earth had only 1 Billion we wouldn't have human induced global warming.
- vegetablepotpie 5y agoWe have 7 billion people now that all need food and shelter. I absolutely oppose any action to bring that number down. If we do nothing about global heating, that number may drop to 1 billion regardless through tremendous suffering.
- officialjunk 5y agoi would argue that would be a signal the population was too high. nature has a way to force a balance. it would be horrible, the amount of suffering, i totally agree, though. ultimately, there are a lot of other variables involved too, but the sheer scale of our impact on this earth is directly correlated with population. yes, there may be other ways to tackle the problem and i hope we find at least one of them.
