Description
Population Bombed! Exploding the Link Between Overpopulation and Climate Change by Pierre Desrochers and Joanna Szurmak. The relationship between population growth and climate change has been a topic of debate among scholars, writers, activists, and policy-makers. While some argue that population control is necessary to mitigate environmental degradation, others claim that economic prosperity and a cleaner environment are the result of both population growth and increased use of fossil fuels. This book addresses the shortcomings of these arguments, presenting a nuanced view on the complex interplay between human wellbeing, resource availability, and environmental sustainability. The authors examine how economic prosperity and a cleaner environment can be achieved through both population growth and reduced reliance on fossil fuels. They also explore the unintended consequences of campaigns aimed at reducing fossil fuel use, including their impact on the developing world, poverty in advanced economies, and the natural environment.
