Former U.S. Vice President Al Gore spoke in New Dehli with co-Nobel Peace Prize winner Rajendra Pachauri, chairman of the U.N. Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change and an Indian himself recently, and said India could be a major “green” country with 21st century technology.
However, he missed one HUGE roadblock to that.
And, that would be the semi-official Indian governmental policy of surpassing China in population.
India’s population growth rate of 1.6 percent per year, a birthrate of 22.69 per 1,000 and an average age of just under 25,per the CIA Factbook. and worse than, for comparison, Iran and Indonesia, and as bad as Egypt, are guaranteed to make a “green” India pretty difficult.
We have got to have U.S. leaders who will honestly talk population control with more developing nations.
