Climate Change Thread

[a completely inoffensive name]

Population is already projected to top out at just under 11 billion by end of the century. This projection has only been revised downward every few years or so.

It's a bit of a red herring because the population growth is:
A. Almost entirely localized in Africa.
B. Impacting populations which do not yet have access to the level of health care and education which precedes population decline.
C. Sustainable with proper management.

Japan, SK are still experiencing a decline in population growth. Several European nations are below 2.1 children per woman as well. By mid century, most of Europe will be declining, China and India as well.

Without pulling out tons of links no one will read, we have the capability to feed 11 billion, it's a matter of politics that we struggle to feed those that are hungry today.
Carbon neutral transportation and industry can scale up as far as you want without increase in anthropocentric climate change, that's the beauty of zero. Developed and developing nations are creating and implementing this technology and processes right now.

In the end, climate change is a political issue. People call my state crazy for mandating by law that new housing must have solar panels as of 2019. I think they are crazy for not doing so. Fast forward 10 years and they are still burning carbon, complaining about the worsening heat waves and my state will continue to be in the top 10 largest economies.
