UN Encourages Safe Sex

Recently there was an article on aol news titled "Fight Global Warming: Wear a Condom". As you can probably guess the article was about the U.N. Population Fund saying that if condoms and family planning advice were made more available to combat our worlds rapidly growing population, it would help us fight global warming. Currently the world's population is about 6.7 billion, and at its current growth rate it is expected to be 9.2 billion by 2050. Overpopulation is already an issue and contribution to global warming, can you imagine how much that contribution would increase if the world's population jumped up so rapidly?

There has been some controversy over this plan, some arguments against it like the fact that the countries where population is increasing the fastest are underdeveloped countries but the more developed countries are the ones contributing the most greenhouse gases. While this may be true, the underdeveloped countries still contribute to greenhouse gas emissions and cutting down the population of more developed countries wouldn't hurt either. Basically while I dont see this plan as being the most effective thing to cut back effects on global warming it would still be effective and it would also help with issues other than global warming like lack of resources to support entire populations.
