"It's pointless trying to reduce greenhouse gases by a few percentage points, if you contradict that..." Right. I've never understood why the debate over climate change was (and still is) separated from the population argument. It's just hypocrisy to me. I've seen estimates that a human being eats between 70 and 100 tons of food across a lifetime let alone all the other resources he/she consumes—housing, cars, fuel, goods of every kind. As it stands, the arguments simply don't equate. I wish someone would provide data and equations that would authenticate the figures one way or other. It seems to me the human race is presently engaged in the greatest instance of the Emperor's new clothes ever witnessed. The politics of not mentioning population in the same breath as climate change has to be one of the defining events of our age.
