Carbon vs. Population

There's lots of hype about carbon emissions these days but not very many people talk about population growth. Lets compare a carbon emissions historical chart with a population growth chart:

Carbon Emissions

Global Population Growth

Notice something that these two graphs have in common? Sure you already know about both of these factors individually but don't you find it odd that nobody talks about population control the same way they talk about emissions control? Clearly, talking about population control and immigration in the context of global emissions is unthinkable so we as a society choose to stick our heads in the sand and pretend that recycling bins and tofu wieners are going to solve the worlds' carbon problems. Until we face the facts, until we acknowledge the white elephant in the room, we're all fucked.
