The problem when one person believes they know the truth and 350 million others do not is it is highly unlikely to be true. The truth as seen by someone that believes not driving cars will solve the problems of the world flies in the face of the truth by people close to the climate and sustainability debate. There are people that actually study these things like The Center for Biological diversity rather than sit in their living room and “just think about LCF.” To them this is truth and LCF will not solve the problem.
“A
2009 study of the relationship between population growth and global warming determined that the “
carbon legacy” of just one child can produce 20 times more greenhouse gas than a person will save by driving a high-mileage car, recycling, using energy-efficient appliances and light bulbs, etc. Each child born in the United States will add about 9,441 metric tons of carbon dioxide to the carbon legacy of an average parent. The study concludes,
“Clearly, the potential savings from reduced reproduction are huge compared to the savings that can be achieved by changes in lifestyle.”
Who’s truth is more likely?
Think that through. If all we do is start depriving ourselves of comforts now so that future generations can live uncomfortable what kind of life is that anyway?
LCF is a personal choice but it doesn't seem to be a solution.
the only reason humans make so much pollution is not because we are born ..but because to live in current civilization, jobs are needed, jobs available are created mostly by production and manufacture of goods . When these goods are not mass produced and mass consumed, the jobs we so depend on for money comes to a screeching halt. No jobs , no money, no mass production, no mass consumption , no jobs , no money , no livelihood.. Also we now need war to jump start the economy , kill off a few million men and create worker shortages and hire wages then all is good for about 30 years.. Then a major war is needed.. Sound pessimistic? Well think about history...then comment.
