Life's little lobbyist for growth.
  • Overpopulation is not the only cause of global warming...

    ...and in fact is considered by many not to be the major cause. According to a white paper published by the Sierra Club:

    "Even in developing countries

    with high population growth

    rates, global warming pollution

    is still far lower than that

    of developed countries such

    as the United States."

    The US contributes nearly 25% of the world's carbon emission, yet the US accounts for less than 5% of thw world's population.

    Blue Amberol, there are other kinds of growth besides population growth. You may want to get your facts straight before you pontificate.
