Are there any topics related to climate change as misunderstood as overpopulation?
Well… there are a lot of misunderstood climate topics out there, but population issues are definitely among the top.
So often, I hear people express concerns about there being too many people in the world, putting a strain on the availability of resources, from a place of sincere concern. And it’s easy to understand the thought process behind that concern! But often that gets voiced in a way that sounds dangerously close to the rhetoric behind some of history’s most terrible acts.
While population will probably always be a pretty topic, there are a few things that people should be aware of going into the conversation. And where better to get into it, than the new most populated country on earth!
