How much do the eco-nuts think we have to cut greenhouse as emissions and water consumption? 10%? 20%? 50%? Whatever the cuts turn out to be, they're going to be made tougher if the population keeps growing at the current rate.
Immigration is currently something like 130,000 per year. The population is around 20 million. In 20 years time, when we are supposed to have hit these targets, the population will have grown 10%.
So, in order to cut our emissions or water consumption to 20% below what it is now, we are going to have to make even heftier cuts per head, since there will be more heads to go around.
Why is it that none of the eco-boogymen are making a connection between all the usual environmental terrors and immigration? I have no problem with bringing lots of people in, but please don't say that we can have our cake and eat it too. If we want immigration, and we want to cut consumption of oil, water, land etc etc, then we need to be ready to make even bigger cuts per head than the headline numbers suggest.
