The great global warming solution award of the week!
Condoms! Yes, according to the Optimum Population Trust, families should be limited to just two children. Each new child costs around 750 tonnes of carbon dioxide, which is the equivalent to 620 return flights between London and New York.I quote "A 35-pence condom, which could avert that £30,000 cost from a single use, thus represents a “spectacular” potential return on investment – around nine million per cent."
"Global population growth between now and 2050 is equivalent in carbon dioxide emissions terms to the arrival on the planet of nearly two more United States, over two Chinas, 10 Indias or 20 UKs."
So is China more environmentally friendly than European nations then?
