The Net Zero “earth justice” philosophy says:

“… Increasing population levels lead to increased consumption of resources, resulting in greater greenhouse gas emissions. This contributes to climate change and can have a devastating effect on the environment…Overpopulation leads to an increased demand for housing, food, and resources, which can lead, among other things, to deforestation. We lose approximately 10 million hectares a year. This results in the loss of animal habitats and exacerbates climate change by reducing the amount of carbon dioxide that can be absorbed by plants… ” – https://earth.org/overpopulation-sustainability/

In contrast, the Bible promotes human population growth and human dominion of the earth under God:

“God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth.” – https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Genesis%201%3A28&version=KJV

There is no fretting in the Bible about how more humans mean more CO2, and CO2 is a pollutant, because CO2 is not a pollutant, and human population growth is regarded as a good thing.

We need to be asking our political leaders to stand against the anti-Biblical Net Zero “earth justice” philosophy. It promotes something that is not God’s plan for the earth. God’s plan is for the nations to be Christian, growing in population, and managing the earth judiciously according to Biblical principles.
