A Letter to Time Magazine About Climate Change

Dear Time Magazine,  (letters@time.com)

Re: "Bangladesh's media lesson" by Saleemul Huq, page 56, Time, Nov. 7, 2022

In this Time article, the Bangladeshi author touts how Bangladesh reports on climate change facing his country because it's located between two of the world's  largest rivers, the Ganges and Brahmaputra, on a low-lying flood plain of the Indian Ocean.  

The author reports on how Bangladesh sends its press and leaders to  every climate change event to bring more coverage to that country's dire consequences of typhoons, flooding and saltier soils from ocean waters creeping inland.  He admonishes Western countries to bring more and better media coverage to climate change victims around the world.

What he doesn't talk about stems from the fact that Bangladesh houses 161,000,000 (million) people in 2022, but at current birth rates, that country expects to top 201,000,000 people  by 2050, a scant 28 years from now.  Mind you, that  Bangladesh possesses less landmass  than the  state of Montana…147,000 square miles to 151,000  square miles. In other words, they care about climate change, but they  won't report on what's driving it: human overpopulation.

It would be educational for all Americans and any anyone who reads Time Magazine to have the editors publish writers who connect the  dots as to climate change, i.e., overpopulation of the human mob drives climate change because every added human being burns fuel to heat food, heat homes, transport and production of goods.  

With Bangladesh, adding 40 million more people within 28 years, they seal their fate as the next climate change disaster…along  with the animals that inhabit that country.  Are they in trouble or what?  Are  we all in trouble or  what?

Additionally, Time published a Ugandan journalist who complained about climate change, "I am a climate  migrant" by  Nyombi Morris. But  again, Uganda houses 49,000,000 people in 2022, and expected to  reach 103,000,000 by 2050.  (Source: UN  Population Projections)

No matter what your complaint in 2022, by adding 54 million more people, net gain in 28 years, they are doomed.

Why don't Time Magazine editors publish those of us journalist that connect the dots  as to climate change and human overpopulation?  Can you fellas behind the desks at Time answer that one for all of us?
