number of climate-change observers see population control as
essential to arresting global warming. They blame expansive
immigration policies of the U.S., Canada and Europe for rising
emissions because every immigrant from a tropical or semi-
tropical climate requires huge additional amounts of carbon-
based energy in the much-colder climate.  For example, the
average annual per capita production of CO2 in Canada is 4.35
tons versus a mere .21 tons in Indonesia and 1.01 tons in
Mexico. Even in highly industrialized Japan, where the climate
is more moderate than in North America or Europe, production of
CO2 per capita is only 2.34 tons or approximately 50% less than
the same person's output in Canada.  Approximately 82,000,000
people have entered the U.S., Canada and Europe from warm
climates in the last 40 years. Assuming only 3 additional tons
of CO2 per person – a very conservative estimate -- this
transfer of population has added another 246,000,0
