How is reducing the population going to change that, when a minority of the population are the ones doing it? Are we going to target them for reduction..because, if so, they've already done it themselves.Quote:Why do we -need- to reduce the pop?
Because we’re using and/or destroying the earth’s resources faster than they can be replenished or replaced.
Quote:At 50 million subsistence farming would be a relative breeze.It wasn't the last time we were at 50 million..but, here again, you're telling me it would be easier if we just let the pop wither, but that's not a reason to let the pop wither that I can work out. Yes, if a bunch of people were disappeared alot of things would get easier...but, ofc, it would be easier for the remainder to be super polluters..as well. All that nasty fighting the impoverished natives over their precious resources would be a thing of the past - because the natives are gone. Climate change impacting some specific region? No problem, ghost town, there's nobody there. YAY!
Success?

Not sure if trolling or serious.
heres a diff way to look at our current issue. We're not depleting our resources faster than they -can be- replenished..and we literally have more fossil fuels than we could ever afford to burn. We'll kill ourselves off by using them if we really tried to run them out..before they ran out...and we're just not trying to foster the replenishment of those resources which we could, and should, be more effective managers of. Properly managed, earths carrying capacity is practically limitless. Other, very strong pressures which we know exist and we know reduce both overall pop and rates of reproduction, will kick in before we run out of food, space, or water..here. Long, long before.
