Overpopulation and Climate Change

In all the mouths is the topic of climate change. That one argue about it for a long time and warn of the worldwide destructive outcoming effects, others give their ear prefer the downplaying statements of scientists, politicians and media representatives, that claim, natural disasters are at the same level as already previously been given. When very many human beings take on this unthought-out and uncritical opinion, they extend a helping hand to financial sharks, governing ones and economic bigwigs for further environment-destroying projects as for instance the building of further atomic power plants. Certainly natural disasters have already always been given, however it is a fact, that the very rapidly rising amount of humankind has caused the climate warming in a minimum of time and that today quick consecutively resulting natural disasters therefore not to a “normal” disturbance of the climate, but rather are to lead back to overpopulation. In addition, the greatly damaged planet can no longer regenerate itself, because the earth population always rises still more and exploits the Earth. Then there is still that human group, that takes the topic climate change to the cause, to improve their image in the society, because after all today they belong to the lifestyle and sounds good, for themselves to stand up for environmental protection and ecology etc.

Therefore they generally further rather doubtful projects for the protection of the climate or the nature entirely and feel through their donation, which consists mostly of a beautiful lump of the money, liberated of all culpability and can further fumble about as until now. Others concern themselves indeed now about it. Entirely terrible is that part of the population, who themselves absolutely do not care about the problems of our planet. Unconcerned and poor intelligence he/she lives to further his life in a manner used to and gets out of it as much as still possible for him/herself. Except for a few, who realize the correlations of earth destruction and its cause, inform about it and warn of it, no one is really determined, to examine their own moral conduct and adapt to the necessarily restrictive living conditions.

Although very much is spoken, written and discussed about the problem of the climate change, although climate conferences are held, the cause of the disastrous things, the worldwide overpopulation, as a topic is not even touched on, neither in the media nor by scientists and also not by governments and politicians. Still the general opinion always appears to be, that alone as a result, which would be spoken about it, already much is done. Nevertheless no more time remains, therefore in principle immediately suitable measures must be introduced, which bring forth a rigorous turn.

Until the agreements from the climate conferences step into power, the climate has itself already rapidly worsened and the overpopulation is renewed around a many-fold increase, so that the decrees then will not even be more than a drop in the bucket. Fighting symptoms has still never led to lasting success and it surely cannot, when it concerns the entire planet. It is incomprehensible, that the question comes up practically nowhere, why itself the climate drastically changes and global warming frighteningly quick increases. The simple answer is, too much CO2-emission. Naturally that is partially correct, however the greenhouse effect is also only a result of the underlying problem of overpopulation. The more human beings live in a limited place, the closer the space conditions become, all the more scarce become all resources and all so greater is exploited and will be exploited those having surface for utilization, until the soil and the air can give nothing more and take nothing more. The equilibrium topples. A pre-given and non-scalable space, as e.g. a house, an island, the planet Earth, which will be designated for a determined number of human beings and therefore is equipped in the best way with everything vitally necessary, overcrowded, then topples the previously prevailing quality of life very quickly into a threat to life for all present ones. The human being can him/herself hardly move more from the spot and he/she lacks very quickly all necessities, like hygiene, nourishment, air etc., not to speak of then, that still enough space and possibility would exist, to make something else out of the one's own life than to fight in order to survive.

Diseases and plagues are the sure effect, of hunger and wars. Therefore also then the climate in the limited living space is first worse, then deadly, because no more oxygen exists and extinguishes all life. Whoever not already previously is dead from a plague, of hunger or through war, will gruesomely choke and miserably perish.

The planet Earth is the living space of the humankind, it is limited and not expandable, even when it appears open upwardly. There is only a small room in the universe, and therein the entire earth population is so-to-speak locked in. Nobody can neither simply run away from nor ignore the devastating outcoming effects, which the human beings have created through their excessive overpopulation, precisely therefore fewer than the planet, of a still more rising amount of humankind, can nourish and carry. It is nearly impossible, that researchers, individual governments and scientists have not realized this cause, regardless silence it. Why? It is pure belief in the good, which ultimately after all always must win, or simply blind hope, or it is perhaps merely anxiety, of themselves to be made unpopular? What politician would already put him/herself into the nettles and would communicate to the population of the state, that they for longer time no more children can be procreated in order to get the natural disasters under control?! On the contrary will be furthered by many western states very family-friendly projects, because the birth rates in precisely these countries is rather declining. It is beautiful, that the families thereby will be enabled, their duty to follow and nevertheless will provide for their children, however to believe, it occurs only out of love for the next one, would be naive.

Statesmen and economic bigwigs have great interest therein, that the economy flourishes, and that goes only with good workers. That is the true intention. Therefore many statesmen gain their constituency rather through “customer-friendly” self-advertising and empty promises. Therefore it lies in the sole responsibility of those couples, who themselves want children, to reconsider very thoroughly and with regard to the future, how they are able to themselves exist in the today's time, whether they can provide the education to their descendants, thereby they someday become responsible adults and whether they their children also thereafter can prepare, to grow up in a very challenging time under challenging condition/requirements. It consists not simply only of the right to procreate children, such a demand would be pure egoism. Couples, who feel the wish for a family, also have duties and carry very much responsibility. For example the heavy task applies to them like all human beings, not only for themselves, but rather also for the future generations to create and preserve an environment worth living in, wherein the possibility exists, to lead a good, healthy and evolutionary life. Therefore then no human being has the right, only from egoistic basis to force children into a destroyed, sick and life-destroying world, without consideration thereon, how the descendants shall live on an almost destroyed planet. Therefore it is the duty of each individual, to comprehend the disastrous things at the source (root) and to announce that overpopulation is the fight, so that all the endeavors, to stop the climate change and all catastrophes brought with it, carry fruit and that planet Earth can recover and also in the distant future will still be homeland and habitat for many generations.
