That's the Catholic in you talking...
Keep churning out those loveable babies......

Unless we do something - there will be a cateclysmic die-off in less than 200 years.
The population is doubling every 60-65 years.
14 billion before 2100.
28 billion by mid 2100s.

I am REALLY glad I don't have kids...
I did what I could.
The blame is on the breeders.
No one is saying that overpopulation isn't a problem. But the real damage to the environment is what we're doing to sustain that population at current consumption levels with current production methods.
And, for what it's worth, I'm a big fan of free birth control. I had my vasectomy at 19, and have never participated in 'churning out babies', loveable or otherwise.

At the opening ceremony for the Autumn Extinction Rebellion mass action in London this year there was a fellow giving it large on the megaphone about the critical nature of anti-natalism and how everybody should stop breeding. Some environmentalists are "serious" in the way the OP suggests already, then.

They tried to make me an altar boy, though. Didn't take.
