Table:Global crude birth and death rates from 2003 to 2011

Figure 9 shows the crude birth rate and the crude death rate per thousand of the global human population between 2003 and 2011.

Outline one way in which a larger world population may cause an increase in the rate of global warming.

larger population uses more energy/fossil fuels, so produces extra carbon dioxide/greenhouse gases;
larger population uses more land for growing food eg rice / keeps more livestock, so produces extra methane/greenhouse gases;
more people results in more respiration increasing $\mathrm{CO}_{2}$ and contributing to global warming
