Population levels cause of climate problem

I would like to congratulate the staff of Gosford Council responsible for presenting council's Draft Climate Change Policy.

The guest speaker Mr Allen Kearns from the CSIRO Climate Change Adaptation Research Flagship simply confirmed to me, and many of the others in the audience, what we already knew.

Simply that the climate changes we are currently experiencing is cyclic procedure for this planet is normal, but, in this cycle, accelerating at a speed never previously experienced.

Why?

At no previous time has this planet experienced more than two billion humans.

Our current count is in the nine billions.

The solution is obvious, but we are being sent mixed messages by the leaders Obama and Rudd when they gallop off to talk about climate change and then urge their constituents to breed like rabbits!

The exponential growth of humanity will simply escalate the climate change situation beyond all else, before the solutions are found and implemented.

Thank you Gosford council in your efforts at creating a policy, good luck.
