Anthropogenic climate change
Anthro means Man and genic means coming from. So Anthropogenic climate change literally means "Climate Change coming from or caused by mankind"
And how does mankind cause this climate change? Primarily by overpopulation. And what is the major cause of overpopulation? This might seem strange to you but I would say the primary cause of overpopulation comes from Western Medicine.
It seems like ending people's suffering and increasing lifespans should be a good thing, shouldn't it?
In an ideal world where there were infinite natural resources this would be true. However, we live in a finite world with limited resources.
For example when I grew up there were only 1 billion or 2 billion people on the planet. Now there are 7 billion and we are headed for 9 or 10 billion. And here is the fact that blows my mind, "There are more people now living on Earth than ever lived here in all recorded history combined."
So, what this might mean is that ecologically we are as out of balance ecologically here on earth as we have ever been. And since nature abhors a vacuum, we are now witnessing the natural consequence for over population: Depopulation through Anthropogenic Climate change. The only question now might be: "How low will the population go from Climate changes?"
This is a difficult question to answer because we don't live in a vacuum. The correct answer would be: "That depends upon how mankind handles this situation en masse and individually."
Also, population (at least for now is still increasing). So, I think we will begin to notice when population begins to decrease worldwide. I think a sign of this would be 1/2 of the governments on earth had collapsed. I think this would tell us the populations were decreasing.
To the best of my ability I write about my experience of the Universe Past, Present and Future
