The UN Population Fund is not a big fan of population. Or maybe the UNFP just cares more about the population as it is. There are 6.7 billion people on Earth today, and that number is expected to double by 2050. Imagine 2.6(+) billion Chinese. We’ll still be living to witness some seriously crowded sidewalks.
Or will China’s one-child policy turn out to be genius and actually keep the population steady? It was a bold implementing that policy, and proves China has the fortitude to make sacrifices for the future. We’ll see come Copenhagen.
One climate change idea I doubt China will make headlines over: condoms. The UNPF is supporting a move to hand out more free condoms around the world. Pretty simple logic: People cause pollution. More people more pollution. But is it that simple? Not everyone thinks so.
