Planet Earth has too many people.
Climate Change is real. It's been with us since the birth of the planet. In fact, climate change, extended periods of warming and cooling, made the planet.
The Sahara Dessert, millions of years ago, was a vast area of verdant growth, forests and abundant rainfall. Now, it's sand and heat. Millions of years ago, Kansas was under an ocean. Six hundred thousand years ago, the area around Topeka and Lawrence was under an icecap five hundred feet thick. The earth's climate has changed and the planet has warmed and cooled thousands of times, mostly during periods when there were no people and no fossil fuel industry.

If climate change is caused by fossil fuels, if climate change will wreck havoc on worldwide coastal cities and crops by 2100, then Big Government had better start planning evacuations and food storage, because curtailing fossil fuels is never going to happen in time. China and India and other less developed countries are pumping carbons at historic levels, building coal plants and burning oil like never before. They have to; their populations are exploding. And they use old technology. Again, they have no choice. When the planet grows from one billion people in the year 1800, to seven billion people today, there is necessarily going to be massive usage of every kind of fuel and energy source imaginable.
By 2030 global population will have grown to 8.5 billion people. The birth rate worldwide exceeds the death rate by 250,000 people per day! That's right; by this time tomorrow, there'll be another 250,000 mouths to feed, a quarter million more humans to muddy the water, dirty the air while finding a place to squeeze in.
Soon, there will be too many people for our planet to absorb.
We must therefore advocate for population controls---early, first term abortion on demand and a one-child policy worldwide. We have no alternative.
