The U.N. Population Fund has declared that having fewer children would help
reduce so-called global warming...but added it is difficult to proof a
connection between the two.
The agency said the battle against global warming could be helped if the
world slowed population growth by making free condoms and family planning advice
more widely available. ( U.N. says the world needs fewer
children )
The agency did not recommend countries set limits on how many children people
should have, but said: "Women with access to reproductive health services ...
have lower fertility rates that contribute to slower growth in greenhouse gas
emissions."
"As the growth of population, economies and consumption outpaces the Earth's
capacity to adjust, climate change could become much more extreme and
conceivably catastrophic," the report said.
(The problems in the world today is not because we have too many people but how people act and treat others. When we get down to it the problems are moral and spiritual and have nothing to do with overpopulation but groups like the UN will use that as an excuse to push things like abortion. )
