Ric Oberlink, spokesman for Californians for Population Stabilization, said although global warming is very serious, it is a โ€œsubsetโ€ of the overpopulation problem: โ€œIf we had half as many people, we wouldnโ€™t have much of a climatic warmingย problem.โ€

Many have noted Americaโ€™s disproportionate impact on greenhouse emissions and rightly called for cutbacks, Oberlink told Cybercast News Service , but it’s hypocritical to say Americans consume too much, and then say it doesn’t matter how many Americans thereย are.

Oberlink criticized environmental groups for not addressing population growth: โ€œIt’s easier to single out targets like Big Oil and Big Detroit instead of calling for changes in personal behavior or taking on a tough issue like population growth with its concomitant connection to volatile issues like immigration or access to birthย control.โ€
