Overview of 2023's CO2 Weekly and Monthly Concentration Data at the Mauna Loa Observatory.

1. (Theoretical only) What would it look like if the population were half? or, double?

But doing the same things in the same ways, as the current 8+ billion? (except reproduction of course, for 4B obviously there would be less of that. Or there would be more killing - a lot more - which is why I raise this purely theoretically.)

My point is that population DOES matter. Some at DU (posters I know to be otherwise liberal) apparently disagree.

Realizing it doesn't change the FACT that we have to do something about what these 8+billion people are doing. But one of the areas we should be looking at, is certainly reproduction and population, and how to soften the so-called "demographic issue" as the population gets older (which issue would be a non-issue in a fair society that cared about its people, but then we are back in theory land of course).
