These two sets of statistics are the core stark realities behind global warming, migration, and pressure on food and water resources.
In just 70 years:-
Growth in total world population:
1951 — 2,584,034,261
2021 — 7,874,965,825
Growth in total world emissions of CO2:
1951 — 6 billion tonnes
2021 — 36 billion tonnes
Sadly, with COP26, it looks like the can, containing the ‘greener solutions’, will get kicked, yet again, further down the road. ![]()
Those are the stats during my lifetime!!
What do I glean from this?
- There are far too many of us!
- We have having far too big an impact on a fragile ecosystem!
- We need to do something about it!
