Of course, but quite how much and whether it's to a dangerous degree I couldn't say.
I think the 'elephant in the room' in the whole green debate has only just begun to receive wider credence; I hate to give 'credit' to Jonathan Porridge [sp], but he is correct when he says that, in future, population control will need to be considered as part of an overal global environmental policy. In hsort, there's too many humans on the planet - see how crowded the roads are!
The above also leads us to a very uncomfortable truth - is all aid in drough regions doomed to failure? If the land is barren and can't support the extant population, aside from pure humanitarian considerations where's the real logic in pouring in aid in the form of better healthcare? Google for 'Malthusian' theory...

I heard that bit on the radio the other day and was pleased that someone had the guts to say it loud. Not only do we increase our population at an alarming rate, each human needs a lot of resources to keep it going in our modern world. This can't go on like this, we will end up as the biggest feast for some bacteria at some point.

Learned about it in A level geog and have viewed charitable gifts to starving africans in a different light ever since.I wonder if they still teach it or whether it is considered "evil" in today's lefty schools?
A lot of aid is snatched by those who least need it and ends up lining the pockets of fat officals or, worse still, paying the way for the b
d warlords that help keep the rest of the populace in poverty and terror. An excellent read on the subjest is "Blood River", a factual contemporary account of some nutter journo who retraces Stanley's trip down the Congo is a real eye openeer for those who 'think' they know.Floor Tom said:
I am pretty convinced we have had an impact. Holes in the O-zone layer etc. I realise that this is not that popular a view on this website however. I think that global warming is a natural occurance but I think we may have accelerated it.
Holes in the ozone layer are a natural effect, get over it.
Next!
