Population growth a bigger environmental threat than climate change

Australia’s politicians and media want us to believe that climate change is the biggest environmental threat.

They claim that Australia needs to meet its net zero commitments in order to prevent “dangerous climate change”, willfully ignoring the fact that Australia is a tiny emitter on the world stage and that China is the main source of carbon emissions.

These same groups also promote strong population growth via net overseas migration, ignoring the obvious fact that more people necessarily means more carbon emissions and more environmental destruction.
