What No One Will Talk About: The Eco-Elephant in the Global Living Room

Overpopulation! Too many people for the Earth to sustain!


That's right! There are more people generating carbon footprints (greenhouse gas emissions)than the Earth can reconvert into oxygen (Continued below)





The curve of the population growth -- Hell, explosion -- exactly matches the the curve of the increasing global warming. And, no it is not a typical cycle of the planet. In the past temperature changes have related to cooling, not increased temperature (e.g. the ice age and the Dark Age). Neither of those correlate with population change so indentically.



Since the industrial revolution, world population has doubled every 40 years

And we (the U.S.) are the worst contributors to greenhouse emission



Yup. We have less than 4% of the world population, but contribute to over 25% of the greenhouse emissions. But, you may be saying, China contributes more! On a person by person basis, no they don't. Each Chineses person's carbon footprint is 1/4th of each U.S. citizens carbon footprint. It's just that there is more than 4 times as many Chinese (1.6 billion vs 260 million). That means that whatever you do, eco-good or eco-bad, multiply it by 260 million. If you want to find out what simple things you can do to reduce your carbon footprint, click here
