O.K. Lets say that global warmings spot on and it is being caused by humans.
Who cares? Reallllly who cares?
I think that we all do but what are we doing about it!?!?!?
If you take the Technology*Population*Affluency = Ecological Footprint what are we gonna do about it.
Technology
Well technology seems to be the obvious place to start. Most people seem to believe that our technology can achieve anything. Possibly. But I wouldn't bet on this to start with.
Population
Affluent populations seem to have low birth rates. But the increase in populations is likely to continue growing with people form overcrowded regions moving to more spacious areas. Also particular cultural beliefs tend to encourage large families.
Affluence
Well this is an interesting one. Why not simply stop using so much products and energy? Because change is difficult and we like our cavalier lifestyle. Also our economic machine has been focused on breeding a habit instant gratification. Using less products or energy is going to require self-control. It looks like necessity is going to bring this. The question is what will the necessity be?
