Thus The Guardian today. “While the Paris climate summit focuses on global warming, the key issue is the prospect of ten-billion people on earth,” elaborates the newspaper. What? I could not believe my eyes! One more time, the cause and effect of the greatest crisis that has ever faced the human kind are mangled, albeit in an entirely new and surprising way. Here, the actual cause of climate change is perceived as a separate, and an even graver, issue to ponder. Idiocy supreme, to be sure. The only thing to the article’s credit is that overpopulation of planet earth indeed needs to be considered in all seriousness. There can be hardly any question about that, as the human population has tripled in my own lifetime. Sadly, the article misses the point that overpopulation is the very cause of climate change. The mother of all causes, in fact. Alas, human stupidity has no bounds! Come to think of it, it is the ultimate cause of both overpopulation of the planet and climate change that ravages it. Live and learn.
