UK population must fall to 30m, says Porritt - Times Online

UK population must fall to 30m, says Porritt

JONATHON PORRITT, one of Gordon Brown’s leading green advisers, is to warn that Britain must drastically reduce its population if it is to build a sustainable society.

Porritt’s call will come at this week’s annual conference of the Optimum Population Trust (OPT), of which he is patron.

The trust will release research suggesting UK population must be cut to 30m if the country wants to feed itself sustainably.

Porritt said: “Population growth, plus economic growth, is putting the world under terrible pressure.

“Each person in Britain has far more impact on the environment than those in developing countries so cutting our population is one way to reduce that impact.”

Population growth is one of the most politically sensitive environmental problems. The issues it raises, including religion, culture and immigration policy, have proved too toxic for most green groups.

However, Porritt is winning scientific backing. Professor Chris Rapley, director of the Science Museum, will use the OPT conference, to be held at the Royal Statistical Society, to warn that population growth could help derail attempts to cut greenhouse gas emissions.

Rapley, who formerly ran the British Antarctic Survey, said humanity was emitting the equivalent of 50 billion tons of CO2 into the atmosphere each year.

“We have to cut this by 80%, and population growth is going to make that much harder,” he said.

Such views on population have split the green movement. George Monbiot, a prominent writer on green issues, has criticised population campaigners, arguing that “relentless” economic growth is a greater threat.

Many experts believe that, since Europeans and Americans have such a lopsided impact on the environment, the world would benefit more from reducing their populations than by making cuts in developing countries.

This is part of the thinking behind the OPT’s call for Britain to cut population to 30m — roughly what it was in late Victorian times.

Britain’s population is expected to grow from 61m now to 71m by 2031. Some politicians support a reduction.

Phil Woolas, the immigration minister, said: “You can’t have sustainability with an increase in population.”

The Tory leader, David Cameron, has also suggested Britain needs a “coherent strategy” on population growth.

Despite these comments, however, government and Conservative spokesmen this weekend both distanced themselves from any population policy. ”

Proponen limitar la población humana hasta el "punto de extinción" para minimizar la emisión de CO2

En un estudio estadísitico titulado “Reproduction and the Carbon Legacies of Individuals”, los investigadores Murtaugh y Shlax de la Oregon State University, proponen que la limitación de emisiones de CO2 mediante la reducción de los niveles reproductivos de los humanos es 20 veces más efectiva que cualquier medida encaminada a cambiar nuestro estilo de vida. La solución que proponen es simple: limitar el índice de nacimientos a niveles inferiores al índice de mortandad.

Lo que yo me pregunto es ¿porque si el mayor problema que tenemos hoy dia es el de la superpoblacion no se habla de ello publicamente y se buscan soluciones?.
Supongo que ya tienen planificadas secretamente las medidas a tomar y eso da mucho miedo.

Sí, creo que en China sobran mil millones de chinitos, y en La India algo parecido.

A ver que burrada maquinan estos.

Chorradas??

La superpoblacion no es un problema: es EL PROBLEMA.
