The Population Bomb (1968) is a book written by Paul R. Ehrlich. A best-selling work, it predicted disaster for humanity due to overpopulation and the "population explosion". The book predicted that "in the 1970s and 1980s hundreds of millions of people will starve to death", that nothing can be done to avoid ma** famine greater than any in the history, and radical action is needed to limit the overpopulation.

We do need to protect the environment but not the cost of destroying our economy and prosperity.

UMMM I don't know about you but I believe when your species grows by ONE BILLION in the span of 12 years, you have a very serious problem due to over-population.    Over-population IS a problem and has materialized.  Over-population does help drive warming.  There is a finite amount of land.  That land must sustain humanity in every sense of the word.  When forests are destroyed for new strip malls or housing, that energy that would have been absorbed and utilized is not.  Instead you are left with heat islands.  You know how metro areas sprawl out and over time the further out you go, the nicer it is?  You have new strip malls and stores and such right?  Let me pose this to you, next time you drive by the newest strip mall; just think about how long that strip mall is going to last.  Maybe 10 years then all the businesses board up and move further out to a new strip mall.  It's a never ending, vicious cycle.  But hell as long as the economy is good, what does tomorrow matter?

haha yeah. they are building a strip mall in moody and leeds. can you believe that? right freakin next to each other. it's suppose to be pretty big too. the same people that built the trussville strip mall are building the one in moody. or so i've heard. and the one being built in leeds is going right next to ba** pro shop, so you know that's going to be huge.

this stuff scares me!!!!!  lol

The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, a nonprofit organization composed of the peer reviewed work of literally thousands of scientist from virtually every country of the world,  is considered the authoritative body on climate change.  Their 200+ page yearly summary, along with all of their documentation, is neither political, bad science, nor pseudoscience.
