When I was born, I was one of 130 million Americans; today, I am one of 300 million. My problem with many well-meaning environmentalists is that they focus too narrowly on a symptom, Global Warming, while ignoring our underlying terminal disease, Overpopulation.
If we reduce per capita production of greenhouse gases by half, while watching the population double, what will have been accomplished?
Our precious Earth is not an inexhaustible cornucopia or a bottomless septic tank!
Sometimes there are no third choices: We can continue to "pave Paradise" and bitch about it, or we can curb our egoistic compulsion to replicate ourselves.
