Reply #7: Population. [View All]

[Gregorian]

Even they can't say it.

Everything else is just a symptom. When are people going to get it?

Save, recycle, drive less, but have several children, and you've negated it. The most effective step we can take toward answering all of the problems, not just global warming, is to have fewer children. We need to stabilize the patient. This planet is in the emergency room. Dramatic steps are needed IMMEDIATELY, in order to preclude disaster. It's not just combustion, it's deforestation. Each new person above and beyond the ones who are already here, needs a house. That's deforestation. Among other things. It's the population. And until we address that, none of the rest is going to amount to anything. Not in a meaningful time frame, at least.



edit- Sadly, population discussion often masquerades under freeper pretenses. That is not where I'm coming from. I'm trying to open a discussion to something NOBODY wants to talk about. But we had better start.
