Global warming effect conceals overpopulation cause

Ecocide is Overpopulation

The non-human-causes folks claim the other side is trying to burden us with a useless carbon tax. The human causes folks believe their opponents are protecting a wealthy old industrial pollution regime.

In our complex modern world, when one item is singled out for so much attention, it is prudent to look for what we are missing, if we are being led astray, and why.

Agriculture itself transforms fertile land from self-sustaining biosphere into an artificially sustained cropland patchwork of less fertility. With its constant expansion, planet Earth is moved aside to make way for a costly and redundant human monoculture.

The United States GDP accounts for nearly a fourth of the world’s total productive output in exchange for the largest share among nations from the accessible petroleum.

Everyone in the world cannot then move up into an American level of affluence. The desire is unrealistic and irresponsible of those who insist every human in the world may live a First World material existence.

No obligation to others means we’re just fine pretending we’re solitary hunter-gatherers, even if we depend on society and will cry like infants if our grocery stores, hospitals, shopping malls, cars, running water, electricity and cars aren’t there for easy picking.

There’s about to be a bit of a ruckus now that the major nations have dropped their CO2 capping plan:

We’ve covered overpopulation and its role in ecocide, and in turn in throwing us into tyranny, before on this blog.

It’s worth also mentioning that our dominant paradigm does not permit us to think of solutions that involve limiting the rights of people like us, which is why we are paralyzed on global warming because we feel no sense of efficacy in making decisions when we are manipulated. Even more, it’s worth pointing out that population growth produces people who are less intelligent and healthy rather than more, guaranteeing a slow civilization decline.

I think most people believe that if they make themselves a tiny green apartment, they’ll be fine. They forget:

• Food growth.
  Medical support.
  Roads.
  Fire, police, rescue and military.
  Stores and manufacturing.
  Libraries and government offices.
  Parking lots.
  Mail service.
  Scientic research and education.
  Cultural events, restaurants, social spaces.

There are many people – some of them well-respected scientists – who have been talking about overpopulation for decades.
Dr. Albert Bartlett, even Isaac Asimov – intelligent men who see through our complex social structure and boil it down to the simplest form, so it can be seen for what it is.

We already know that increasing food production causes population growth. Volume of food production is like a piston. Habitat is the cylinder it slides into. The gas or fluid inside is the size of population. The piston goes up and population expands. Shove it down (or provide us expensive affluence) and our numbers contract.

We also know that clearing land for agriculture to Feed The World reduces our biosphere’s carbon absorption. Since unabsorbed carbon becomes a climate changing greenhouse gas, humanitarian activity later causes at least some humanitarian disasters. If it feels good now, we’ll pay with interest later.
