Does China still limit the number of children families are allowed?

They just increased the limit to 3. I wonder if families can buy “children credits” from couples who don’t want more than one child.
Since 1960 the world population has increased 2 1/2 fold, while the US population has only doubled. As somebody already pointed out, some of our growth is due to immigration.

Thanks. Very benevolent of them.

As a side note here; we have sufficient petroleum, tar sands, etc. to last for awhile; maybe a couple of hundred years. Assuming that crude oil is finite, and not continually generated, it will some day be exhausted. At some point, we will be forced to find alternate and renewable sources of energy, or shiver in the Winter, cook our food with a solar oven or eat it raw. It is well and good that we are experimenting with solar, wind and ocean currents, in the knowledge that we can improve on these nascent industries and one day make them viable.

Petroleum will need to be saved for petrochemicals; i.e. plastics, drugs, etc. until we can find other means of producing the myriad of products we enjoy from petroleum. In the meantime, let's not destroy our economy and our country over a bs environmental "religion" that is rushing us into self destruction. Nuclear energy any one?

I thought we were discussing "never a peep about solutions."?

I gave you a short list of solutions that were being peeped. I didn't say I agreed with the solutions, but they are offering solutions. Whether viable or not is a different discussion. I'm pretty sure I've read/watched countless stories about climate change that mentions most-likely causes, effects, possible solutions, etc. over the years. All mentioned in the same story.

LoL...Obviously if you seek out stories and articles about going green or off the grid or anti- fossil fuel scenarios...you can read all about it...
...BUT...
Just watch some weather shows or reports read some reports of any extreme weather...the talking heads never fail to miss an opportunity to mention CO2/greenhouse gasses etc. or man made warming...without mentioning the fact that there is basically NOTHING the average citizen can do about it but they use that constant blast of AGW propaganda that does nothing but instill angst and fear so they will support whatever political faction that pushes the agenda...

Many humans balk at the idea of wearing PPE or a vaccine that will save their life, so why would they save the only planet they can live on?

The media's job isn't to make suggestions; rather, it's to report the news.

The media's job is to make money for their owners.
Some reporters report the news.

Sad, but true.

CNN did a heck of a job for Time Warner and then ATT.

Maybe the next owner will make some money?

China and India have missed a U.N. deadline to submit fresh plans for cutting their greenhouse gas emissions. Actions speak louder than words. China continues to build coal power plants while Chinese President Xi Jinping says his country will stop adding to the global warming problem by 2060.

China, India miss UN deadline to update emissions targets
