Growing world population causes climate change
Cancun doesn’t answer the too many people question
Why is it that a subject as vital as global warming seldom hits the front pages, yet the E-Factor regularly does? Cancun, indeed, is another prime example!
Cancun has been far from a success. In fact, it’s been a bit of a shambles from start to finish! Probably the only ‘positive’ that it achieved was a ‘sort of compromise’ to manage Kyoto beyond 2012!
But what did some of the British papers say?
According to Suzanne Goldenburg and John Vidal in The Guardian: “The widening dispute about the future of the Kyoto Protocol and the overall shape of the agreement being worked on in Cancun risked overwhelming progress made on such areas as preventing deforestation, protecting peat lands and the green funds.”
But they agreed that the most positive comment came from the EU’s Joke Schauvliege who suggested ‘everybody is still on speaking terms’! And so it was agreed that negotiators would work through Friday night to try to avoid a collapse of the future of Kyoto!
In The Inpendent, the Press Association, reported that Prime Minster, David Cameron’s comments on Cancun were “significant step forward in renewing the determination of the international community to work together to tackle climate change!” Getting the doubtful ‘plug’ that “this will be the greenest government ever”.
According to The Times, Cancun underlined the fact that climate change is ‘one of the greatest challenges of our time” and that is seems “unequivocal and that most pf the observed increase in global temperatures since the mid 20th century is very likely due to the observed increase in anthropogenic greenhouse gas concentrations!”
And yet, did Cancun delegates talk about the world rise in population statistics? It seems not!
Worldometers suggest that today’s population around the globe amounts to 6billions and in less that 100 years this will have risen to 10billion. How can our limited planet sustain this and control the carbon emissions that will inevitably be created?
The fact is it can’t! But know one even dares to ask the question about slowing down our worldwide population increase to manageable dimensions?

One Response to “Growing world population causes climate change”
ecoadmin says:
Not one delegate to the Cancun climate change conference asked the serious question about the world’s population explosion. Yet it hides the secret of global warming and the number of people on this small planet has to be trimmed to cope with the future. We need to lose at least four billion – maybe more!
