Population and Emission trading

Minister of State for Environment and Forests, Mr. Jairam Ramesh announced that India will be eyeing 20-25 percent reduction in the carbon emission intensity. The announcement should be appreciated for we are seriously pondering at global climatic changes. What worried is the way he relates the concern with GDP and population. Relating Emission trading with GDP can be taken with a right sense. But, relating the GDP with population is intolerable. He is reaching the world and he is representing a country. H should have been careful about his statements. He said
The GDP is low because the population is high. The country’s single biggest failure in the last 60 years has been that it could not control the birth rate.
Population control as such should not be treated as a problem anymore. I have the following viewpoints about population control.

  • It indulges with individual rights. Government shouldn't do that. Government is there to protect it not to prevent it.
  • Government is not permitted to dictate or frame rules about the number of children a couple can give birth to.
  • Government is formed for the people. There is no limit as such how many of them will be there.
  • Every individual has the potential to positively contribute to the GDP. It should be the way the people's Government should view GDP and if not, the Government is failing.
  • In spite of what Mr. Ramesh termed as the single biggest failure, India managed a GDP growth of more than 4 percent for almost a decade now. India's annual population growth rate lies below at less than 2 percent.
  • During the recent recessive years, India managed to outperform its global peers in GDP mainly because of its domestic demand.
  • Its duty of the state to create the arena for the increasing population. That is how a country can prosper.
  • Its totally against human evolution.
  • Population is not directly related to carbon emission unless majority of them are farting most of the time.

At this juncture, I want to submit my condemnation to Mr. Jairam Ramesh as a citizen of India.
