Population and Climate Change

According to recent studies, the top 50 cities in the world that have the most polluted air are all in Asia. Those cities are heavily populated. Very crowded. And those cities contribute to poor air quality and climate change worldwide. Poor air is linked to climate change. Most environmentalists agree on that fact.

Environmentalists also agree that human population is a major cause of pollution and thus climate change, Humans burn fuel, eat food produced using fuels, generate solid wastes that either get burned or buried. Humans need housing so forests are destroyed for lumber and for land to build upon. Housing construction also needs concrete which during the manufacturing process also causes air emissions. Wildfires worldwide also contribute to poor air. Often, humans are the cause of these fires. Case in point-California’s recent series of mega fires. Poor land management by local and state governments help make those fires worse.

So-the Democratic party that claims to be climate change party in the US has radical policies to open up our borders to allow millions more people into the US. Millions!! More people means more pollution (air, water and land). What is the correct population of the US? Currently, there are 328 million people in the US. Not sure if all the illegal immigrants are included. How can the Democrats drive climate change policies and allow open borders. What would happen to our environment if we allow 2-4 million immigrants into the US each year? How will they be fed? Housed? Educated? How many more cars will be on the US roads?? What about our hospitals??

I believe the US needs immigrants but I want it tightly controlled.
