That's exactly right. This is the real problem we face. An increasing population with a higher standard of living using more resources. This is the real problem of the immediate future - not climate change. How much money has, and will be spent on climate change based on unsubstantiated theory? How much money has been spent on our greatest known threat - population increase?
