If human population is not causing climate change then what is ? The Rhino ? Obviously, the exponential increase in human population is causing stress on the earth's climate. With a dramatic reduction in current population obviously there won't be as great a demand for water, food and energy resources creating the only realistic possibility of reducing man's carbon footprint.
