I've watched it, I find it less compelling than you do, for the reasons stated in my post. Those who champion population control (either explicitly or implicitly) do so by assuming that a whole laundry list of other conditions are met. Well, why not meet those conditions first and then take a look at population control? Doesn't that seem reasonable? Wouldn't that put the focus firmly on climate change and environmental concerns where it belongs -when discussing climate change and environmental concerns- rather than adding a layer of contention and the troubles of a social issue? More heresy from me...perhaps, just perhaps, if we were smarter about the way we live the capacity of this planet for human life wouldn't look so dismal? Deciding who and when and how many children one should have -even for yourself- is still a shit sandwich, if, of course, you want to have children. I understand that it may not seem as such if you don't, but make allowances for those that do.
