FALSE CHOICE | This article promotes a counter-productive false choice from @GeorgeMonbiot: Population Vs Consumption. Its both, and as George admits (to his credit), technology usually makes things worse as well, not better. If youre wondering why population matters, think about the following: Which comes first - population (birth) or consumption? Were at 7 billion, and heading for at least 10 billion this century under business as usual growth rates. However, if people in power (UN) stop denying population is an issue and start rolling out voluntary contraception as a priority, we could peak at 8 billion and reduce to 7 billion by the end of the century. Population matters #GeorgeMonbiot.
