We've got to get population growth under control. The causes of climate change will only get worse with population growth.

Marvin Harris, in his book, Cannibals and Kings: Origins of Cultures, points out that even primitive tribes in the past had different methods of controlling the population of their tribe, using even infanticide.

Wiki reports :

Anthropologist Laila Williamson notes that "Infanticide has been practiced on every continent and by people on every level of cultural complexity, from hunter gatherers to high civilizations, including our own ancestors. Rather than being an exception, then, it has been the rule."[3]:61

But we have much better methods, like modern birth control. But we don't even want to use them. Our religions tell it it's a sin. And forget infanticide. Our religions tells us that even the morning after pill is murder, before it is even an infant.

Maybe we should put cable and flat screen TV's in every home on the planet. That remote will slow down the population explosion.

But even then religions like the local church forbid that. It's of 'the world.'

So we're not going to stop causing climate change. Not until catastrophe puts a stop to it.

Maybe it's God's plan for Armageddon.

Realistically speaking even if Carter had been successful it is highly unlikely to have made any difference. Suppose 50 years ago we spent $1 trillion on developing solar and wind. The US is still about 5% of world population, and then we would have $1 trillion worth of antiquated and less efficient solar and wind which would have to be replaced. And then that $1 trillion would not have been around to fight all the wars since Carter.

This is why I feel the really good opportunity to avoid this entire man made catastrophe was at the time of Solomon. If he had stayed focus long enough to get the industrial revolution started the world would be a very different place.
