How climate change can create WWIII. This is a really scary and totally plausible scenario. [npr.org] We puny humans are not in control of nature. We need to take our impacts on nature seriously.
Many people do, but 1) Women won't stop making babies; and 2) Those producing oil won't stop making a profit.
Women don't make babies by themselves. However, in countries with a big per capita carbon footprint the problem is not one of too many birth. This country is nearing replacement level and many European countries are at NPG (negative population growth). The problem is the feeling (economic) we must keep growing and do so through too liberal immigration policies.
Hey, you idealists! We evolved from “lower” animals, who accepted the climates that came their way. Why are you demanding so much more from us so early in our evolution?
Actually, because we are not as intelligent as we think it will end up being 'late' in our so-called evolution.
@JackPedigo In Joss Sheldon’s book, Democracy: A User’s Guide, female chimpanzees replace aggressive male leaders better than we do. We have a long way to go.
@yvilletom And very little time to get there.
