And then what, more and more people and we chase more and more solutions to more and more problems we create through unrestrained population growth for no reason whatsoever. You don't seem to realize we are exiting the industrial age where people were a convenient input to production the wealthy and powerful fostered. It simply makes no sense to keep growing and then chasing the consequences of unfettered growth with the chance that solutions may be developed to solve unnecessary problems. You totally ignored the fact that the greatest contributor to global warming is people, western ones and residents of developed countries, especially the USA more so than any others. You can rationalize and fantasize justifications all you want, but the fact of the matter is that there are hard limits to growth before the rest of the system can't maintain and the wheels come off. And it's all unnecessary at that. There is nothing inherently better in more people, because if you are not worth at the very least ~$3M, you are definitely not net gaining from population growth, exponentially so if you are not American.
