      Unfortunately the two are fairly closely linked – most scientists agree that humans are contributing to climate change, and every new person born adds even more pressure! What’s clear is that the more people there are the more harm we are causing to the planet, and the effects of climate change mean that we might struggle to make sure everyone has enough food, shelter, water and other basics if the population keeps growing. Right now I would say that climate change is one of the most important problems facing us, as it’s are already causing damage all around the world

      What Adele said is really good, i agree! But I would say that it is just climate change that is the problem, there’s quite a few studies that show global population will level off in the next 100 years and we wont see the population increase past that. But climate change will continue to get worse, and worse, and worse.
