What we avoid in talking about climate change

Sam Smith - There are a number of climate issues that deserve far more attention than they've gotten, such as:

• Population growth: This is a hugely critical issue that is avoided mainly out of fear of being accused of racism or eugenic imperialism.  But the talk doesn't have to be about population control but about population wisdom. It's not state rules that will alter this but a cultural acceptance of smaller families across the world as well as the wider availability of birth control.
• Economic growth - Our climate crisis is due in part to the elite's assumption that economic growth is a great gift to people. But what if it also destroys the planet? Where are the alternative economic philosophies and reflect the needs of climate calming?
• Transportation: Not moving around so much is a great way to help calm the climate. Why is this getting so little attention?
