  1. Why not concentrate on making our country as nature friendly as we can? Concentrate all foreign aid on paying wages to educate, replant & recycle in countries whose population explosion requires aid!

  2.  @thebestevertherewas  Point is to pay people in poor countries direct wages to recycle having learnt from the experience of aid effectively used to "level up" the 'politically religious ruler' in poor countries.

  3.  @thebestevertherewas  "Green countries" have a much lower birth rate, even negative, in some cases. With prospects of ambitions being realised people have smaller families! The real danger is providing aid for the rulers of undeveloped countries to "keep them on our side" resulting in people being fed so they can multiply but no improvement in the likelihood of them being able to have ambitions of their own. Obviously every extra human being on the planet is going to use a lot of resources in their lifetime. Already overpopulated areas of the world are being told that the reason their country is now a desert is because those wealthy country people (who gave them the aid that enabled them to becomes hideously overpopulated) get their energy from Photosynthesis! That's right the food we eat for Energy & Life Processes comes photosynthesis which get energy into our planet by working like a transformer, transforming energy from the Sun into stored energy! Photosynthesis is what powered our entire Industrial Revolution using the gas and coal that came from Photosynthesis! To sum up CO2 is not a problem it is part of photosynthesis overpopulation is the problem

  4.  @thebestevertherewas  There were no human beings in India or China "to begin with" India and China had massive aid part of the British Empire

  5.  @thebestevertherewas  Your chronology is all over the place! An example: Africa had a population of 200 million in 1960 now Africa & Middle East Population: 2 Billion (approximately) We had fundraising in the 1960s we had Bob Geldof feeding the world in the 1980s ( Do They Know It's Christmas?) The point is that the planet natural resources support 1 Billion, if the population of Africa becomes 20 billion in your lifetime like it x 10 in my lifetime the world will suffer a big setback. Painful evolution

  6.  @thebestevertherewas  Africa & Middle East Population 2 Billion (approximately) Say what your point is?
