Many times we come across people who seem to be sincerely working to overcome setbacks in their life, but a deeper analysis reveals that they are not focusing their energies in the right area and are not addressing the root cause.

Similarly, people seem to ignore the root-cause when solving global problems like climate crisis or pollution levels. While governments, scientists, authorities and social organization are relentlessly working to resolve different problems, the situation is getting worse day-by-day. Everyone is busy searching the incremental, quick-fix and low-cost solution while conveniently ignoring the root-cause of all problems: population growth.

Let us take few problems which the world is facing and try to identify its reason as population.

To begin with, the climate crisis can be attributed to the pollution caused in an attempt to manufacture goods to satisfy growing demand. If the population keeps increasing, all other incremental changes being made to address the problem will go in vain. No one has thus far acknowledged that population growth is the cause of the problem. Unsurprisingly, efforts are being made in the wrong direction to resolve the climate crisis.

Similarly, there is a pollution problem. A century ago, the pollution level was less when the population was around 1.5 billion people. Today population has grown to around 7.8 billion people. However, scientists are busy finding eco-friendly alternatives to pollution-causing products. Finding millions of such alternatives is not going to help if the real problem of population growth is not addressed.

There is rampant deforestation to satisfy the demand of the growing population. Core forests zones are being exposed to coal mining for electricity generation. Many environmentalists are busy protesting the opening-up of forests for mining. But no one is mentioning the fact that if the population is reduced, dense forests need not be destroyed.
