Population Growth and Climate Change

Population Growth and Climate Change

Throughout our lives we had always experienced many smaller scale issues, for example increase in termites when a home is not clean and another time when we spill soft drinks on a table, then in couple of hours later we find ourselves with a horrifying trail of ants. In the globe we have found ourselves in an issue that will take deaths and murders of free for all to survive in a immorality condition. The population growth has put many minds in the notion to try to come up with a solution to lessen the growth but I believe that we are too far in...

"human population grew from 1.6 billion to 6.1 billion"

Finding this interesting stat in the "Scientific American", has displayed a interesting trail to thought, because how could this be a drastic change of then to the 20th century. But today I stand here knowing that the reason why the change took place because of the worries of the flaw of man education and the beginnings of technology. As the people from the beginnings (Our ancestors), weren't properly educated with the fundamentals of awareness and future expectancy, they must have felt okay living with a "Today" attitude and having children. Its not that it is a flaw to society, but in every generation before us, there was only much one knew and can do, as for us we had the technology extent to "think outside the box."

"More people means more demand for oil, gas, coal and other fuels mined or drilled from below the Earth’s surface that, when burned, spew enough carbon dioxide (CO2) into the atmosphere to trap warm air inside like a greenhouse."

Economically, the population growth changed the climate by having more busy bodies roaming back and forth around the world and making pit stops by releasing CO2. As well as demanding the source of oil, by burn of fossil fuels and polluting the air we breathe in. In the nation we live in complexity is the passion to solved, yet life can be simple if we weren't too attracted by the constant devotion to expand in technology.

"Educating women about birth control options and ensuring access to voluntary family planning services, women will choose to limit family size."

The answer lies above everything, as for past generations women lacked with the information of awareness of pregnancy and the options it limits one. As that experience marks a great example of growth and how far humans have gone with morals of keeping the family tree going and going forever. As for solving the issue over population made the climate change dramatically for a neutral direction by marking history but now putting human beings in a state of mind that there is only so much resources. As history marks a path of understanding and learning, its only best to move forward and cope with issues, than to pout and stay the same. Population growth wont' be able to controlled but its up to us, to get into the works of distributing enough resources for everyone.
