The upcoming climate change summit in Denmark will talk about fossil fuel use, carbon taxes and suchlike. Woo hoo. What won't be discussed is overpopulationm, the root cause of global warming. If the human race had stabilized at 1900 population levels, we wouldn't be talking about global warming.
But neither liberals nor conservatives have the courage the face up to acknowledging this, because the solutions go against our instincts.
And we always follow our instincts. Evolution deniers claim that there's no "missing link" because we thinking humans and lower creatures. Well, just walk down a city street and look around. Missing links abound. They're the ones who deny the reality of anything that might inconvenience them.

actually where we live the town would have been beautiful if the population had been "halted" in 1870. By 1900 it was "too late."
