How is population growth a direct cause of climate change? Sure it may be very loosely correlated. But why even mention it? Further more the population is in decline in almost all developed countries is it not? If it really is political it's crap like this that will be first on the "things to do" list purely for votes and accomplishing nothing (except destroying people's lives).

- Pyramus 5y agoExactly, and the scary thing is not only do we emit more carbon every year, the rate of emission is also increasing, i.e. we are still on an exponential growth curve.
- nojokes 5y agoThe population has grown 4 times everywhere but in Europe and US since 1950 and it keeps growing. The problems with the land and resource use would be much smaller if the population had stayed more or less constant everywhere. I am also certain that people would have been better of everywhere when the resources of the families would not have been put into bettering the well being of the households instead of maintaining the army of children. This problem is political and is governed by religious powers and cultural inertia.
