Answer 2

The correct answers are:

• "Possible global warming caused by pollution": Ever increasing populations lead to an increase in consumption and subsequent increase in pollution. Pollution contributes to global warming.

• "Lack of money to fight pollution": Government spending in social programs increases due to the increase in population, leaving a limited budget for environmental efforts.

• "Spread of disease-causing pandemics": The growth of populations means there are more means for the spread of disease. Improved means of transport also mean a faster possibility of contact with infected people.
