'...Another way of looking at the problem is to ask how many "earths" are needed to support the present population of 6.5 billion people. ...If everyone on the planet were to enjoy an American lifestyle, for instance, we would need about 13 planets. ’ Steve Connor (The Independent)

Causes and Effects. Glib solutions such as 'Going Green'; whilst very sweet will not give solutions - frankly, the true answer lies in addressing the numbers of human population - and that means better education, responsible politics, and tackling irresponsible aspects of religions, particularly matters of birth-control etc Some sort of easy social science debate will not hack it.
