Climate change or not, one thing for certain is that we can't survive almost 400K more people born each and every day when only 150K are dying. It's truly insane that the press is playing games with climate catch-phrases while not even mentioning the primary danger facing humankind - OVERPOPULATION.
That type of births-to-deaths math has "global pandemic" written all over it. Either that, or "Zombie Apocalypse". That's why post-apocalyptic/zombie/pandemic/wasteland movies and TV shows are so popular and prevalent right now - people inherently sense the danger and it's powering the cultural zeitgeist.
Of course to large corporations, more people = more customers = great news, which is why we don't hear more about the impending disaster. Big surprise. Everyone needs to eat, everyone needs a place to live, and every single person on Earth degrades the environment just by being alive. Trying to solve climate change while ignoring out-of-control population growth is the height of insanity.
Rampant overpopulation is the root cause of the majority of our climate problems, from deforestation to pollution to disease to the rape of our ecosystem for food to violence & war, and if this pattern continues it will end us. Guaranteed. There is no other possible outcome.
If we truly want to lower our carbon footprint, then every country needs to stop creating more feet.
