Essay / The importance of population growth - 1242
With the increasing industrialization of our planet, pollutants such as greenhouse gases emitted by cars, motorcycles, coal-fired power plants and fossil fuels continue to be a major problem. The destructive nature of these contaminants not only causes significant changes in today's climate, but also in the evolution of future climates. Critics may say that as the population increases, so does the number of people who directly affect the amount of contaminants produced. But on closer inspection, this is not the case, as certain regions of the world play a different role in the amount of damage they cause. For example, the United States emits more than six times the global average amount of carbon dioxide per capita. Even though the United States maintains the highest level of pollutant emissions, it does not maintain such a high death toll. This honor is bestowed on third world African countries. This imbalance highlights the responsibility that countries like the United States have to ensure the security of our planet. But who exactly is responsible? The polluter? The beneficiary? These questions are sometimes uncomfortable to discuss, but making sense of them is the first step to solving the problem. Countless migrations take place every year due to the effects of climate change. Individuals often face circumstances such as drought, deforestation and natural disasters in general. These events affect population migration, which in turn affects the growth of a population.
