Stone Harbor - In my lifetime, 50 years, Earth’s population has more than doubled from roughly 3.3 billion to 7.3 billion. The green is being plowed under to make room for housing, agriculture, and infrastructure. Look around South Jersey. Farms have been turned into housing development, generating more waste. Green plants act as a filter and temperature control. Global warming is a function of population. There’s no way around it. Wouldn’t it be surprising if there wasn’t a negative impact as population doubles in billions?
