“Yes we understand the problems but instead of tackling poverty and widespread hunger and pollution let’s just reduce 99.999% of the population by not having babies, which is a totally sensible way to solve the climate catastrophe”

    Damn, we’ve consumed the entire Earth in the past 50 years? The very ground we’re standing on must be made of styrofoam. Is the CIA working on building a dyson sphere in secret or some shit

    love how these nerds are like China is an authoritarian hellhole and in the same breath advocate for a southern hemisphere-wide .5 child policy

    These turds all think they’ll be part of the “few million” who survive and also think they’ll get to maintain their quality of life, as if it doesn’t currently depend on an exploitation of the global poor

    Why do they still hold on to the “exponential growth” excuse? The population is currently increasing, but not exponentially, and will eventually plateau in the next century. Granted, the world will be a hellscape if nothing changes in 100 years, but the majority of consumption occurs in industrialized countries with lower birthrates. I can almost guarantee that this r*dditor has a greater impact on the climate than a family of subsistence farmers in Bangladesh.
