The Biggest Cause of Global Warming
The biggest contributor to Global warming is the one we have the most control over - yet nobody seems to want to mention it...
Human over population, at 6.5 BILLION we are well beyond the United Nations reccommended sustainable level of 5 Billion and the evidence of over population is every where... Urban sprawl.. deforestation, pollution, lower air quality and so on. Pretty much every problem our planet faces can be traced back to too many people. I grew up in Edmonton, my families home was at the time on the edge of the city.. now its no where near the edge.. No, my parents didnt move - simply the city grew around them and beyond them.. and for some reason people deny there is an over population issue at hand.
In truth, the birth rate is not only to blame - the fact is we are living longer. Fewer women die in child birth and our kids are no longer replacing us or our parents, heck in many cases they are not even replacing our grandparents.
We control the growth rate of pretty much every other species on the planet.. why not our own??? and when will we be forced to take action on our growth rate (like in China) or how soon will we be eating cat and dog (like in China) because of loss of farm land to raise cattle or food for cattle?
Very true.
But I also blame how we are as human beings.
We take and do not give back and everything has to be done to make a profit at any cost. We waste, we destroy, we have no thought for the future.
I am nearly 50 years old and they say in my lifetime I may see the day that the sea will no longer have an y fish,
I hope to God that I am dead before that day comes.
We know we are destroying our planet yet we keep on making the same mistakes.
Quite honestly I think the planet is doomed.
Because we as humans will not change.
