Black swan. I dislike him. He's a staunch proponent of population control and patron of Population Matters a group which amongst other things campaigns for net zero immigration. His undeniably impressive professional oeuvre has a carbon footprint like a charcoal yeti making some of his environmental preachiness quite hypocritical. I still like his programs, though.

So many of our problems could be fixed by limiting the population of the human race. To be clear, I'm not proposing a solution for doing so nor am I saying the ends would justify the means for how this is reached. However can you not agree that climate change, pollution, resource shortages, etc are caused by having too many people on this planet? This is especially true if people in first-world countries want to continue their lives of excess. The only reason to keep growing in population is to add fuel to the economic fire, so to speak. This is not a sustainable trend though.
