It is because of overpopulation (not talking about running out of food here) that forces us humans to change our way of lives. We need to farm our land more intensively using more fertilizer and pesticides, clear more land for farming, build more cars and trucks and ships to transport the goods, mine for more minerals, extract more coal.

It is not mindless industrialization. You added another billion people on earth and just see how many factories and farms you need just to feed, cloth, house and move them about.

People are just looking at green house gasses but there is degradation of env everywhere.

However when you talk about pop control you meet opposition from many religious groups.

If the world never industrialized, overpopulation will never occur. The historical statistics suggest this if you plot the variables. You take away industrialization from the developing world, they will not grow like crazy. Industrialization is mindless because if you look at how much resources we need to achieve that so called level of affluence at the expense of the natural sinks that we destroy. There is enough food to feed the world population but distribution is a bitch and it is also intentional done and controlled that way. Greenhouse gases is good to look at for geopolitical and geoeconomic reasons.
