The article titled "Overpopulation and Climate Change" I have to be honest was not my first pick or even my second. My reason being mainly that the discussion I feel like has been run into the ground and there are so few changes that have been made to counteract the many threats and dangers presented to the general public by environmentalists.
The article states that in 1970 the world population was almost 3.7 billion people and today it has grown to almost 6.9 billion and still growing. Obviously if are planet is in serious trouble, adding more people to pollute the air and use more resources is the last thing the world needs. But I was frustrated with this article because it doesn't offer any solution so maybe it was just written to bring attention to such an issue. However, if that is the case, as a reader that leaves me feeling more stranded than anything and as one person out of those 6.9 billion as if I cannot do much.
The writer talks of education as the key, pushing environment-friendly programs but gives no specifics...I guess I need more information to jump on this bandwagon.
