Birth and death rates: growing demand. More demand for resources based on population: climate change. Economic and political connectivity: demographics and growing demand. Resources limit population: growing demand and globalization. Demand promotes trade: globalization and climate change. Solving climate change require global cooperation: climate change and demographics. More people equals more fossil fuel consumption. Climate change limits population growth: demographics and globalization. Population vs. political stress: growing demand and climate change.
