Slowing Down Global Warming

As Hite and Seitz (2016) discuss in Chapter 5: Climate Change, reputable scientific studies continue to show that the Earth is warming at an unsustainable rate because of a rise in the release of CO₂ and methane gases.

What is the relationship between population increases and climate change? Do you think fertility control

is an effective strategy to halt climate change? Why or why not?

Review the posts of your classmates and respond to at least one other post, offering a substantive comment on that classmate’s position on the issue(s).

Hello Class and Professor,

Fast population development and non-renewable energy source discharges are two driving attributes of our cutting edge age. Since 1800, the total population has become sevenfold, while per capita CO2 outflows have expanded multiple times. Set up the two together, and you have around 1,100 fold the amount of as far as discharges. (1)
Created nations expend a lot of petroleum derivatives. The United States, for instance, contains only five percent of the total population, yet contributes a fourth of all-out CO2 yield. In any case, while populace development is stale or dropping in most created nations (aside from the U.S., because of migration), it is rising quickly in rapidly industrializing creating countries. As per the United Nations Population Fund, quickly developing creating nations (like China and India) will contribute the greater part of worldwide CO2 discharges by 2050, driving some to think about whether the majority of the endeavors being made to control U.S. emanations will be deleted by other nations’ selection of our since quite a while ago held over-wasteful ways. (2)
“Population, an Earth-wide temperature boost and utilization examples are inseparably connected in their aggregate worldwide ecological effect,” reports the Global Population and Environment Program at the non-benefit Sierra Club. “As building up nations’ commitment to worldwide discharges develops, population size and development rates will end up critical factors in amplifying the effects of an unnatural weather change.” (2)
Many accept that on the off chance that we permit the wellbeing of ladies and kids to be improved in creating nations, it will decrease destitution and baby passings. Permit more ladies’ essential human rights (medicinal services, training, money related chance, innovation), ladies would be increasingly enabled and feel all the more a need to restrain family size by inclination approved uniquely through how to recreate.

It is known that population increase and climate change are linked together. Climate change is caused by too much carbon dioxide and other gasses being released in the air or atmosphere. Humans and the things that we do produce carbon dioxide, with our factories, our cars, and deforestation. Hite and Seitz (3) describe how population and economic growth are the key factors in climate change. I do think that fertility control is an effective way to slow down global warming when there are more humans producing these harmful gasses the likelihood of climate change halting is very unlikely.

3)PEER REVIEW #2 (TAWANDA)

Hello All!

The relationship between population increase and climate changes. Pollution and Agriculture are some causes of climate change. I say this because, with the increase of population it requires more highways, buildings, smog and other dangerous gases. The global climate is changing because the smoke from the burning of trash, trees. As it accumulates in the air the ozone layer is decreasing. Agriculture, it affected by the air pollution changes the air. The storms cause floods in rural areas affecting crops to grow. In the Northwest areas the climates are dryer causing more droughts and forest fires, once again affecting the air quality.

Fertility control, no I don’t think it would be effective to halt or climate change. Why, the damage is already done, they are already here, trees are already burned and cut down the coral reefs are almost extinct and the Amazon is already decreased. Restoring and preserving our ozone might help with the climate control.
