As the world focuses its attention on Paris and talking about climate change, Stephen Emmott asks where global population is in the conversation.
The views and opinions expressed through the MAHB Website are those of the contributing authors and do not necessarily reflect an official position of the MAHB. The MAHB aims to share a range of perspectives and welcomes the discussions that they prompt.The perennial cry: we need to talk about climate change.
