humans could use more natural attrition
What's your evidence that more attrition will create a greater society? If anything, greater longevity of people would allow for the accrual of more knowledge and wisdom. Living longer gives you a better long-term perspective. Give people a direct reason to care about what the environment will be like 150 years from now and maybe they'll care more about the CO2 they're putting out.
