The
population growth of the 20th century — interrupted by pandemics,
global wars, and multiple challenges — produced the greatest life expectations for the greatest number of
humans in all history.
If potentially pernicious effects such as
global warming are
human - driven, then it is reasonable and sensible to ask what is fueling the recent skyrocketing increase of absolute
global human population numbers that,
in turn, are destabilizing Earth's
global ecosystems and dissipating Earth's limited resources
in our time.
unregulated growth of absolute
global human population numbers from 6.6 billion to a projected 9.2 billion people
in 2050 -RCB- is presenting a clear and present danger to life as we know it «Spaceship Earth»?
One could argue — on some people do — that, from the perspective of
global resource consumption, a world with fewer individuals living
in highly developed countries — ie, the places where per capital resource consumption is highest — would be desirable
in order reduce the climate impact and resource consumption of the
human population.
Perhaps now is an appropriate occasion to discuss how the family of humanity could begin the limit INCREASES ONLY
in the growth of unrestricted per - capita consumption of Earth's resources, untethered economic globalization, and skyrocketing absolute
global human population numbers.
* The role of the US

in a way that will persist beyond their term (s), as would be necessary for example to address
global climate change or enhancement of science education nationwide; * Their perspective on the relative roles that scientific knowledge, ethics, economics, and faith should play
in resolving debates over embryonic stem cell research, evolution education,
human population growth, etc... * What specific steps they would take to prevent the introduction of political or economic bias
in the dissemination and use of scientific knowledge; * (and many more...)
I do not think we will have a run away
global climate at 2 degrees or such drought and weather changes that the
human population will be threatened
in a major way.
A
global warming phenomenon
in our spaceship is one of several unintended effects of the unregulated, swift increase of 1) absolute
global human population numbers, 2) per capita consumption of limited resources, and 3) large - scale business activities that could be occurring synergistically and approaching a point
in history when it will not be possible for the Earth's resource base and frangible ecosystems services to sustain life as we now know it to be.
Conventional wisdom
in the environmental movement is that
global human population growth will plateau somewhere around 9 billion people, sometime around the middle of this century (between 2050 - 2070 or so).
Unfortunately it is not realistic to keep the warming at or below 2 degrees C. Also, I do not think we will have a run away
global climate at 2 degrees or such drought and weather changes that the
human population will be threatened
in a major way.
That is an approximately 40 % increase
in absolute
global human population numbers
in the next 42 years.
With rising
population (At 6.7 Billion biology is certainly coping well enough to support discussion like this) & rising energy costs destined to lead to a dramatic collapse
in global per capita energy input the likelihood of a destructive
human consiousnee inversion is very high.

global climate agreement

In closing, accepting a contracting
global economy and
population is
in all likelihood the only way humans will survive the depletion of oil and resultant release of greenhouse gasse
in all likelihood the only way
humans will survive the depletion of oil and resultant release of greenhouse gasses.
Put another way, not seeing that the colossal size of the multi-trillion dollar
global economy is soon to become unsustainable
in the relatively small, bounded world we inhabit is a misperception; not seeing that increasing per - capita consumption of Earth's limited resources by six billion, soon to be nine billion, people can not go on much longer, much less forever, is a mistaken impression; and not seeing that absolute
global human population numbers, just like the
population numbers of other species, can not increase endlessly, relative to a limited resource base, is a misconception, I suppose.
With or without
global warming, there's a solid argument that improved understanding of planetary dynamics, particularly the climate system, is essential to sustaining
human progress given how risks rise as
populations expand, build, farm and concentrate
in zones that are implicitly vulnerable to hard knocks like floods, droughts, heat and severe storms.
It would be cool to see a wide collection of maps covering many different issues, not just climate and food production, but, for instance, poverty and wealth, arms production and war, clothing production and leisure time, education levels, consumption, production, health,
population growth and decline, movement of immigrants,
human rights, animal
populations, housing ownership, housing starts, anything basically which can be measured
in a visual map... not just for the US but as
global maps, collected on pages where you could drag them around to sit on top of each other and try and make sense of the various impacts...
There is simply no other sustainable way to handle
human populations in the era of
global climate change.
While warnings of an exploding
global «
population bomb» have not played out, high fertility rates are still a big driver of rising
human vulnerability to environmental threats
in the world's poorest places.
And it's doing so just as the
human «
population cluster bomb» is creating high densities of people
in many of those same places and the growth of the
global middle class is amplifying appetites.
If per
human overconsumption of scarce resources; unbridled economic globalization overspreading the surface of our planetary home; and the skyrocketing increase of absolute
global human population numbers could be occurring synergistically
in our time and could have something to do with the distinctly
human - driven predicament which looms ominously before humanity, does it make sense to consider, just for a moment, what might to done to set limits on these overgrown
human activities?
Other aspects of
global warming's broad footprint on the world's ecosystems include changes
in the abundance of more than 80 percent of the thousands of species included
in population studies; major poleward shifts
in living ranges as warm regions become hot, and cold regions become warmer; major increases (
in the south) and decreases (
in the north) of the abundance of plankton, which forms the critical base of the ocean's food chain; the transformation of previously innocuous insect species like the Aspen leaf miner into pests that have damaged millions of acres of forest; and an increase
in the range and abundance of
human pathogens like the cholera - causing bacteria Vibrio, the mosquito - borne dengue virus, and the ticks that carry Lyme disease - causing bacteria.
Then, with a wealthy and reducing
global population that can afford to take care of the environment, with advances
in technology we can only dream of, the world can become a better place with long term sustainability and an end to avoidable
human suffering.
Although the
human burden of
population has soared from 2.5 bn to more than 7bn
in one lifetime,
in 2010, the scientists say, the OECD countries that are home to 18 % of the world's
population accounted for 74 % of
global gross domestic product, so most of the
human imprint on the Earth System comes from the world represented by the OECD.
Recovery of forests following the collapse of
human populations in the Americas after the arrival of Europeans may have driven the period of
global cooling from 1500 - 1750 known as the Little Ice Age, report researchers speaking at the annual meeting of the American Geophysical Union
in San Francisco.
Global water extractions have increased more than six fold
in the last century, which is more than twice the rate of
human population growth.
Mr. Dickson wrote passionately about several areas
in climate science that troubled him, including: first, the idea that 97 percent of climate scientists agree that climate change is real, caused by
humans, and a threat; second, the idea that government agencies had manipulated temperature records to fit a narrative of warming; and third, that China is developing its coal resources so fast that nothing short of radical
population control will save us, if burning fossil fuels really does cause
global warming.
The World Bank called for urgent action on climate change on Sunday after it released a report that examined the economic, ecological and

This analytical document focuses on river deltas, as they are significant

Maybe I should add that although
global warming is an inherently interesting topic for debate, I am a strong supporter of economic growth to improve the lives of the half of the world's
population who are dreadfully poor, and I see climate catastrophism as an instrument of those who oppose economic growth and thus place themselves

in the process, also causing a shortage of fresh water.
