While I appreciate stories on global warming or climate change, whatever folks want to call it, I can’t understand why more people are not talking about the over population of the earth that is causing it. Or maybe I can. Conservation is an absolute must and everyone must do their part, but just think - if the world’s population were cut in half (and I do mean the world, including the US, China, South Africa, etc.) we’d have less pollution of all different kinds – less from cars, less from garbage, less from coal, less from everything that now pollutes because we wouldn’t have so much pressure on those resources. We’d have more food and more useable water, trees, and land. The bottom line is whether you call it global warming or climate change – it is immaterial – there are too many people on the earth. The population explosion requires that more and more cars are produced and driven, more appliances made and bought, more computers, phones, socks, plates, birthday cakes, brooms and buckets, refrigerators be produced – wait! That might be it. If there were half as many people on the earth, we’d have half as many consumers, which would affect those who sell things to consumers. Could that be, perhaps, the reason we don’t hear a hue and a cry from everyone that the population of the earth be reduced? Hmm… I wonder? With so many billions of people, there are lots of things they need and want. A built in market. It’s a shame because if we focused on the real cause of climate change – over population - we might actually make progress in refreshing rather than razing the earth.
