In order to clarify whether we should reduce anthropogenic carbon dioxide emission or not, interaction between 5 potential problems to survival of human, namely, water shortage, food crises, exhaustion of energy and mineral resources, global warming and population increase were investigated. Population increase was the origin of the 5 problems and increase in ODA for women education etc. to accelerate population stabilization was proposed. Unreasonable reduction of carbon dioxide is harmful to human future and should be stopped. Instead, it was suggested not to increase carbon dioxide by accelerating population stabilization and improving efficiency of coal power plants in US, India and China. Prevention of population decrease, increase in self-sufficiency ratio of foods, secure energy and mineral resources, development of such domestic energy resources as underground coal gasification, coal bed methane, deep coal, methane hydrate and sea uranium, and reduction of earthquake damage were proposed as the key points to a better future of Japan.
