Glasgow Cop. Climate Change Conference 2021

[Baron99 779]

Has any of them touched on the 'Elephant in the room'?   Humans cause climate change, ipso facto overpopulation causes climate change. 

 

I didn't catch overpopulation mentioned in David Attenborough's speech to COP26, although he's been banging on about it for a few years now. 

 

Surely, when he had the chance to address the world, he should have said something?

Im no expert but cant see overpopulation making things more extreme when we are doing the wrong things, it exagerates things yes but if we are doing the wrong thing anyway.

like in my video eating beef, the cattle ranches in Brazil etc are massive and need huge swathes of forest cut down. yes overpopulation means more beef is needed, but tons of beef would be needed anyway. If people didnt eat beef you'd need less cattle (they are only bred for meat) and so less forests cut down to make way for the ranches

Nowt has happened!! Another conference another failure to act.  As usual just Blah! Blah! Blah!

We are just going to carry on polluting the environment and atmosphere.. 

The human race is running itself towards extinction, the future looks bleak for the younger generations, the poor and disabled.

We have 6 out 7 of our nuclear power stations due to close down within eight years, one planned mini nuclear station to be built within ten years. Great planning.

But cows give milk; all bulls/cows need to be born! Hence bulls are needed, beef or not.

The vast majority of bull calves from dairy breeds only live about 6 months before slaughter and so don't need anything like the amount of land to provide food for them as beef breeds.
