Population growth drives U.S. emissions shortfall, study says
Fred Meyerson argues population pressures, not per capita use, push the United States off its 1990 Rio greenhouse gas target. From 2000 to 2025 the U.S. population could rise to 332.5 million while other developed nations shrink or grow slowly, complicating national emission caps and Kyoto talks. Meyerson, Yale lecturer, cautions policy shifts toward per capita limits may invite population growth.
