Honest question to - bad_luck, tang, taint, bob, wylie, the chuckster... No hidden agenda at all with this one. I am simply curious.
For those that believe in Climate Change theory, how do you take account of the impact with the massive increase in human population? Industrialization (Agricultural Revolution) is what has allowed for the population to explode. The simple fact that we are breeding like rabbits would be causing severe environmental pressure on its own.
Missed this.
I don’t think I understand the question though.
Not to get back into it but what I was driving at is this. How is the distinction made within Climate Change theory between the impact from unnecessary/decadent??? man-made pollution and human population pressure on the environment? Even if 8 billion people are the greenest folk in the universe, 8 billion will be producing more, than at any other time in recorded history, pollution, water usage, soil exhaustion, etc. than the 1 billion that were on the planet as recently as 1804, if for nothing else, out of sheer numbers. I don't know how else to describe it.
I don’t think there is a distinction. The idea isn’t that we need to somehow separate the “necessary damage” from the “unnecessary damage.” It’s that we need to take whatever steps we can to limit all damage.
That's too bad. My statement was intentionally vague to give the respondent latitude but I was hoping for more.
How do we address the damaging effects of over-population on the environment? Why, by taking steps to limit the damage of population growth on the environment, of course! OK, thats for that, lol.
I'll just let it go...
