Journalist debunks harmful myth about Earth's population: 'It's not just wrong — it's dangerous'

Journalist debunks harmful myth about Earth's population: 'It's not just wrong — it's dangerous'
Think the planet's overheating is from overpopulation? Think again. Journalist Louisa Schneider (@louisaschneider.info) took to TikTok to debunk this popular — and dangerous — myth.



"They want us to believe that the climate crisis is caused by 'overpopulation,'" the video's text reads. "But the truth is..we have enough resources for everyone!"

It's true that the world's population has been steadily increasing, per the Harvard International Review. Decreased mortality rates from increasingly higher standards of living led to a demographic shift, starting around the 19th century.
 
However, the global population is not growing exponentially. Data scientist Hannah Ritchie explained in a video for Big Think that the population growth rate peaked in 1963 and has failed to reach such highs since. The planet's warming has less to do with the number of people on it than it does with the amount of pollution those people create.

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address

Had the story been more positive towards the global warming scam, she wouldn't have been a "journalist" in the headline, she would have been an expert.
