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.

Explanation:
In US history, the Compromise of 1850 refers to a series of legislative measures proposed by Kentucky Senator <u>Henry Clay </u>and unanimously adopted by Congress and the messenger as law. Senator Henry Clay was later called a "major compromise."
Clay hoped to strike a balance between anti-slavery and anti-slavery states. His plan included five parts. First, California needed to be recognized as a free state, a decision that led to an imbalance in the Senate. Second, $ 10 million of Texas debt would be taken over by the federal government in exchange for giving up the state to the country in the southwest. Third, areas that later split from Texas became the states of New Mexico and Utah. Both states have left their own paths as to whether to adopt or resist slavery. Fourth, the District of Columbia abolished the slave trade, but slavery only continued. Finally, the Fugitive Law was amended and the federal government assumed the role of handling runaway slaves from state governments.
