good point
by jarl ahlbeck
Joel D makes a good point. Overpopulation is no good. The solution does not demand much fossil energy or mass consumption: Teach people how to read! All statistics show that when especially women learn to read, the number of children per woman decreases radically. Together with improved health care this will create prosperity. Money wasted for example on carbon capture and storage should instead be used for education programs in poor countries and for production of clean drinking water for everyone. Professor Bjorn Lomborg in Denmark has explained this in such a clear way that I do believe his ideas. Of course there must be good prophets and bad prophets, Lomborg is a good one because he bases his opinions on measurable facts only.
