SUMMARY:Overpopulation: A driver of climate change?  - Professor Hilary Gr

DESCRIPTION:It is often remarked that the significant drivers of climate c
 hange include not only high and rising levels of fossil fuel use per perso
 n\, but also high and rising human population size. The logic behind this 
 remark appears at first sight to be simple: climate change is driven by em
 issions\, and total emissions are equal to per-capita emissions multiplied
  by population\, so of course (one might think) higher population will lea
 d to more climate change. I will argue that given a proper understanding o
 f the physics of climate change\, this simple argument is flawed. High pop
 ulation may indeed be damaging for reasons related to climate change\, but
  if so\, the reasons for this are more subtle\; I will outline what they m
 ight be.\n\n(Picture accredited to James Cridland)
