    Also, reducing human overpopulation is a good things because human overpopulation is the biggest cause of anthropogenic climate change (compare it to other causes), and the root cause of it. It’s also the root cause of the anthropocene extinction event and of that becoming a mass extinction event, and of factory farming, and of industrial fishing, and of habitat degradation and destruction, and of unsustainable pollution, …

      The fall in human population is happening at way too slow a pace to help the environmental crisis. At the same time, it’s happening at way too fast a pace that it’s going to trigger multiple social crisis’ around the end of the century.

      Overpopulation combined with the inefficient resource consumption of modern society. If our resource usage per person reduced at the same rate that population increased, it wouldn’t be a big deal.

      Also that graph is ridiculous. If there was one less child born per person alive, there would be zero children being born in most developed countries (it takes two people to have a child, which would mean two less children per couple). Of COURSE that would result in a drastically reduced carbon footprint, because we’d die out.
