[quote=Anonymous]I posted on the thread about people in crisis with small children and babies, I don't think anyone else specifically picked up on the point I posted.

Affluent, educated people in the US (not just the US but will use that) produce the most greenhouse emissions and pollutants. (They also have the least exposure to pollutants; low income people in the US are exposed to a larger amount of pollution than they generate directly or by way of the things they consume, while affluent people in the US are exposed to less pollution than they generate or cause to be generated--this was in a recent Scientific American article. Microplastics everywhere.

This population places a profound burden on the planet and its own future descendants. But not only do they continue to bear children, they have and use resources to enhance their individual reproductive potential via fertility medicine.

really, I just wanted to make a point. At the moment, I am reading [i]Arctic Dreams[/i] by Barry Lopez, I am a parent, and it's all pretty damned unsettling.
