| Re: The Big Question: Is there a technological solution to the problem of global warm
Anthropogenic global warming is caused by us digging carbon up from far below the ground and putting it into the atmosphere. That is what we need to stop doing.
Unfortunately a relatively few people can have a large carbon footprint, as the rich world shows, so reducing population numbers is not the answer to global warming, even if it could be done in time. And it can't.
I agree that population reduction would be a good thing in general, but it's not the answer to this. Climate change is rather more likely to be the answer to overpopulation than the other way round. |
