The world is getting hotter and more crowded and the two issues are connected, but not quite as much as people might think, experts say.
On Tuesday somewhere a baby will be born that will be the globe’s 8 billionth person, according to a projection by the United Nations and other experts. The Earth has warmed almost 0.9°C (1.6°F) since the world hit the 4 billion mark in 1974.
Climate and population is a touchy subject for scientists and officials.
While more people consuming energy, mostly from the burning of fossil fuels, is warming the planet, the key issue isn’t the number of people as much as how a small fraction of those people are causing way more than their share of carbon pollution, several climate and population experts told The Associated Press. […]
Comparing two United Nations population projections scenarios of 8.8 billion people and 10.4 billion people, Climate Interactive’s Drew Jones found only a 0.2°C (0.4°F) difference. But the difference between no price or tax on carbon and $100 a ton was 0.7°C (1.3°F). …

Fuel shortages, food shortages, restricted medical care, doctor assisted suicide, abortion on demand, destroy the family, mutilate and molest your children, no borders, empty prisons, streets flooded with deadly drugs, silence religious expression, destroy our freedoms and our Constitutional Republic,..... (what'd'I miss?)
The peasants must de-industrialize.
You’ll own nothing, live in a dirt floor shack, eat fake meat and be happy
8 billion people, hopefully 1 million of them can be nuclear power plant operators once the green movement gets it head screwed on strait. Want 50% less emissions, built 200 powerpants and open Yuca mountain to long term waste.
They have mixed up their message with their purported purpose...cheap clean power is at hand if government lawyers get out of the way. Some fruit and nuts hippy knows nothing about the modern electrical generation system but has much more pull as former energy company accounting heads. Neither know anything about power plants, but one knows about return on investment.
raping the planet to produce electric cars
It will be so much more awesomer when that gets whittled down to 500 million. Right ‘wef’? 🐎💩
The WEF, formerly known as the European Management Forum. Ought to show exactly whose agenda this is.
Anyone out there who can scientifically explain how a CO2 molecule that comprises four out of every 1,000 gaseous molecules in the atmosphere causes global warming? Anyone? Bueller?
“Ass Press” article, what can we expect?
Always consider the source.
Seth is paid to write alarming garbage about Climate and Population.
WUT? You don’t like the odor of dung fires wafting past the veranda of your mud shack in the morning? 🤔😁👍
Lets Exterminate the Elites.
No more huge multiple Mansions. No more fleets of private planes or boats. No more mega consumption by a select few.
And if the world still gets hotter, at lest we will all know it’s not from all the HOT AIR they constantly spew about climate change.
Pretty soon Soylent Green will be “zero carbon emissions fuel”. They will be lining up to get a hundred bucks to toss your parents into the processing portal. A cult it is.
It’s so bad now that any article I read from the mainstream press, I research the authors first. 90% turn out to be content influencing whores. And that goes for all.
You’ll never explain it to the ones that deliberately leave water vapor out of their “calculations” and “climate models”.
Eat the bug! Eat the bug! (Like some third grade bully)
They’ll mandate that right after they mandate same for government offices . . . and retirement homes on Martha’s Vineyard . . .
“$100 a ton was 0.7°C (1.3°F)”
So the Fed can print up $100 for every ton of carbon dioxide and the planet will be cooler? It’s that easy? Who knew?
Now that the problem is solved maybe we can tackle other issues like poverty and hunger.
