In a recent article Frederick Meyerson (1998) explored the connection between population growth and the anthropogenic emissions of greenhouse gases (GHG) thought to be changing the global climate. Focusing upon the 1997 UN Kyoto Protocol which once ratified will commit 38 developed countries to binding limits on their future levels of GHG emissions Meyerson claimed to show that the negotiators at Kyoto seem to have overlooked or ignored the broad variation in projected population change among signatory countries. The author points out flaws in the evidence Meyerson presents and discusses the following 2 problems with Meyersons argument: his unfounded reliance upon per capita emissions reductions as a measure for assessing the Kyoto Protocol and his neglect of the ways in which projections of future population growth influenced the outcome of the Kyoto negotiations
