Fewer British babies would mean a fairer planet
It's not the growing number of people in poverty who are causing climate change, it's the rich
The worst thing that you or I can do for the planet is to have
children. If they behave as the average person in the rich world does
now, they will emit some 11 tonnes of CO² every year of
their lives. In their turn, they are likely to have more
carbon-emitting children who will make an even bigger mess. If Britain
is to meet the government's target of an 80% reduction in our emissions
by 2050, we need to start reversing our rising rate of population growth immediately.
