Humanity’s environmental footprint has increased, but at a much slower rate compared to population and economic growth because of more efficient use of natural resources. There is a long-standing dispute on the extent to which population growth causes environmental degradation. Most studies on this link have so far analyzed cross-country data, finding contradictory results. However, these country-level analyses suffer from the high level of dissimilarity between world regions and strong collinearity of population growth, income, and other factors. We argue that regional-level analyses can provide more robust evidence, isolating the population effect from national particularities such as policies or culture. We compile a dataset of 1062 regions within 22 European countries and analyze the effect from population growth on carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions and urban land use change between 1990 and 2006. Data are analyzed using panel regressions, spatial econometric models, and propensity score matching where regions with high population growth are matched to otherwise highly similar regions exhibiting significantly less growth. We find a considerable effect from regional population growth on carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions and urban land use increase in Western Europe. By contrast, in the new member states in the East, other factors appear more important.
The Round Table was King Arthur's table where he congregated with his Knights. It is very important part of the legend of King Arthur. Its shape (the fact that it is round and that there is no head) symbolizes that all of Knights siting there have equal status. This table was first described in 1155. by Wace, in his "Roman de Brut". There, he pointed out that Arthur created the Round Table to stop and prevent quarrels among his barons. During the years, the meaning of the Round Table developed, and in the end of 11th century, it had come to represent order of Knights called Knights of the Round Table.
